According to Manchester United news website unitedinfocus, Rashford has now publicly declared an end to his Barcelona career, and the reactions from all parties sufficiently demonstrate the significance of his time at Barcelona.

Last season, Rashford publicly pleaded with Barcelona multiple times to sign him, but he has now finally accepted the reality that he cannot stay with the team.

After a stir on social media, Rashford officially brought his loan spell to an end, and the external reactions highlighted his popularity in Catalonia.

Rashford only played for Barcelona for one year, but he made no secret of his love for the club, wholeheartedly wanting to stay permanently.

To be fair, he fulfilled his duties: scoring and assisting in double figures, but the club evidently valued other qualities in Anthony Gordon more.

Nevertheless, he sent a decent yet slightly bittersweet farewell message to his former loan club.

He wrote: "I am very grateful to everyone at the club for making my time here a positive and unforgettable experience. I enjoyed every moment here and will move forward with many precious memories.

"I wish the club and all the fans all the best for the future and a successful new season. Visca el Barca (Long live Barca)."

Raphinha wished him well, and Gavi wrote: "I'll miss you, brother" (translated from Spanish).

World Cup final goal scorer Ferran Torres commented: "Love you, brother," and Barcelona's official account also sent a message: "Rash, thank you for everything you've done, you'll always be one of us."

Balde called him "my brother," and Fermín López said: "All the best, brother, I'll miss you, Rash."
