While calling the move a “brilliant signing,” Rivaldo cautioned that with attacking talents like Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski already in the squad, Rashford won’t be guaranteed minutes unless he raises his game.

Former Manchester United captain Rio Ferdinand echoed the sentiment, urging Rashford to return to his aggressive, goal-focused style of play. He noted that adapting to the demands of Hansi Flick’s system will require sharpness, intensity, and a desire to prove himself.

Both legends agree: Rashford has the talent, but success at Barcelona will depend on effort, attitude, and form.
