The Manchester United forward commented on a post by the Barça star on Instagram and sparked speculation about his possible arrival at FC Barcelona.

Marcus Rashford has once again captured the attention of the culés fans after interacting on social media with Lamine Yamal, one of the great stars of FC Barcelona.

The English footballer, currently at Manchester United, commented on a publication by the Barça winger with an emoticon that has been interpreted as a new gesture of approach to the Catalan club, amid growing rumors about a possible transfer.

The post, seemingly harmless, took on an unexpected nuance when Marcus Rashford responded with a “frozen face” emoticon. Although the message had no words, it was enough to set the networks on fire and fuel speculation again about his interest in wearing the FC Barcelona shirt.

The English striker's reaction went viral in a matter of hours. Numerous fans interpreted the gesture as a veiled compliment to the young academy player and, by extension, a sign of admiration for Barça's sports project. Some even took the opportunity to openly ask him to sign for the Barça club this summer.

A complex signing but with increasingly clear hints

It is not the first time that Rashford has sent public signals towards FC Barcelona. In April, he had already followed the club's official account on Instagram and praised Lamine Yamal after his outstanding performance in a Clásico.

In addition, his current situation at Manchester United —where he has not managed to establish himself as a key player in the last season— fuels speculation about an imminent departure.

With a contract until 2028 and a high annual salary, his signing would not be easy for the blaugrana club, which is still limited by Financial Fair Play. However, the player's environment has not denied the interest, and these digital interactions reinforce the perception that Rashford looks favorably on a future at the Camp Nou.
