Paul Pogba Reacts to Rashford’s Shock Barcelona Transfer: “That’s crazy. I’m happy for him.”
As news broke of Marcus Rashford’s imminent unveiling at Barcelona, former Manchester United star Paul Pogba weighed in with heartfelt words and a hint of disbelief.
In an interview that’s already making waves, Pogba shared his reaction to seeing his longtime friend and former teammate make the move to Spain:
“That’s crazy. I’m happy for him,” Pogba said with a smile. “Barcelona is getting a top player, and honestly, Manchester United is losing a great one. But I’m proud of Rashy — that’s a big step, and he deserves it.”
The French midfielder, who spent years alongside Rashford at Old Trafford, didn’t hide his admiration for the forward’s talent and character.
“He’s more than just pace and goals — he’s a leader, and he plays with heart. Barça’s getting a gem. That’s great for them.”
Pogba’s comments reflect a growing sense among players and fans alike that Rashford’s move marks the end of an era for United — and the beginning of a bold new chapter for Barcelona under Hansi Flick.
As Tuesday’s official unveiling approaches, Rashford’s departure is not only a huge moment for La Liga, but a clear signal that Barcelona are back to making major moves on the global stage.
