(The Guardian) Marcus Rashford: "Sometimes you just need a change"
In news that is unlikely to come as much of a surprise to many, Marcus Rashford has made it clear he wants to stay at Barcelona as he gears up for his first El Clasico against Real Madrid this weekend.

Rashford moved to Barcelona on loan from Manchester United this summer and the La Liga giants have the option of making the deal permanent next year. Having scored five goals in 12 games including a double in the midweek Champions League thrashing of Olympiacos, the 27-year-old is clear where his future lies.

“Oh yeah, for sure,”” he said, upon being asked by ESPN if he wants to stay at the Spanish champions. “I’m enjoying this football club and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player it’s an honour.”

Rashford has a contract at Old Trafford until 2028 but having also spent a brief spell on loan at Aston Villa last season it is highly unlikely he will return under current boss Ruben Amorim. “People forget this, but 24, 23 years of my life was with Manchester United, so sometimes you just need a change,” added Rashford. “I think maybe this is the case with me and I’m enjoying everything.”

The situation at Sheffield Wednesday highlights a deep crisis in football management and the consequences of poor financial stewardship. Filing for administration is a devastating moment for any club, not only because of the points deduction but also because it signals a complete loss of control and credibility at the ownership level. In my opinion, Dejphon Chansiri’s mismanagement has gone beyond financial irresponsibility — it has eroded trust among players, staff, and fans. When wages are repeatedly delayed, it reflects not just economic failure but a lack of respect for the people who sustain the club. The government’s involvement shows how serious the issue has become, and it’s clear that a change in ownership is necessary for the club’s survival. Football teams are community institutions, not personal assets, and they deserve leaders who prioritize stability, transparency, and the long-term well-being of their supporters.

In life, there are certain things that would improve if your environment changes. That has really worked well for Rashford.
