Marcus Rashford’s controversial commentary on Messi vs Ronaldo of 2018 resurfaces after Barcelona Move

Marcus Rashford has already weighed on the debate on Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo while he is preparing to finish his move to Barcelona.

The 27 -year -old, who is a fan of Manchester United, watched Ronaldo as a child before being teammates during the second unhappy passage from Ronaldo to Old Trafford.

But Rashford only faced Messi twice, in the two legs of the quarter-finals of the 2019 UEFA Champions League, that United was comfortably beaten 4-0 on the total.

Now, with Rashford who was to officially join Barcelona on a seasonal loan this week, he will have the chance to cement his own heritage in Spain.

Despite his link with Ronaldo, Rashford revealed an interview to CNN Sports In 2018, he believes that Messi is the greatest player of all time.

He said, “Some things he does is incredible.

“I am also a big fan of Ronaldo, but I think Messi is the biggest of all time.”

When will Marcus Rashford join his new teammates?

Rashford finished his doctor and should be officially unveiled on Wednesday, before Barcelona’s pre -season tour – which begins Thursday.

It is a dream decision for Rashford, who said in June that he would like to play alongside Lamine Yamal.

At the time, the Catalans focused on the signing of Nico Williams of the sports club, but the Spanish international decided to stay in Bilbao.

Barcelona was also interested in Luis Diaz de Liverpool, but he had to cost too much for a club that still has financially difficult.

Instead, Rashford presented an ideal option for Barcelona, which signed it on a ready-to-the season with an option to buy 30.3 million pounds sterling.

Although the international in England takes a salary reduction, he will always be one of the best paid players in Europe.

Where is Marcus Rashford in Barcelona?

After two difficult seasons in England, there is no guarantee that Rashford will start the season as a first choice attendant in Barcelona.

But it should ensure healthy competition on the front line, the reigning Spanish champions take place for another long season.

Rashford is the most comfortable on the left, which is generally occupied by Raphinha, but the Brazilian is able to operate through the first three.

Yamal is only 18 years old and Robert Lewandowski is almost 37 years old, so Hansi Flick will host the depth and versatility of Rashford.

And in Flick, Rashford will work under one of the best coaches in the world.

With the 2026 World Cup in Imminent America, it is the biggest season of the Rashford career so far.
