Marcus Rashford desires to remain at Barcelona after his loan deal ends.
The loan includes an option for Barcelona to buy him for around €30 million.
Rashford has scored five goals and provided six assists in 12 matches for Barcelona.
He feels a change was necessary after spending 23 years at Manchester United.
This weekend marks Rashford's first El Clasico against Real Madrid.

Marcus Rashford has expressed his desire to continue at Barcelona beyond his loan from Manchester United, appreciating the change after a long tenure in England. He stated, "For sure," when asked if he wanted to stay, citing Barcelona as "one of the key clubs in the history of the game," making it an honor for him to play there, according to BBC.

Barcelona is covering Rashford's wages during his season-long loan, which he accepted with a pay cut agreement, and they have an option to buy him for approximately €30 million ($35 million). His current contract with Manchester United extends to 2028, but his future appears uncertain following a dispute with manager Ruben Amorim, reports Reuters and Al Jazeera.

Since joining Barcelona, Rashford has rediscovered his form, contributing five goals and six assists in 12 appearances across all competitions. As he prepares for his first El Clasico against Real Madrid, he noted that "23 years of my life was with Manchester United," indicating the necessity for change in his career, according to Reuters and Al Jazeera.
