Which jersey number will Marcus Rashford wear at Barcelona?
Rashford will join Barcelona on a loan deal, with the Catalans having an option to make the deal permanent next summer for a figure of around €30-35 million.
The Englishman is expected to become a key part of Barcelona's attacking setup, even though he might not necessarily be a starting choice.
Which jersey number will Rashford wear?
Nevertheless, a recent report from Mundo Deportivo has detailed three potential jersey numbers Rashford can inherit upon his arrival at Barcelona.
The first option is the number 14 jersey, which is vacant following the departure of Pablo Torre, who joined Mallorca on a permanent deal.

It's one of the most symbolic numbers at Barcelona, made legendary by Johan Cruyff and later worn by Thierry Henry – a player Rashford has openly admired.
Another option is number 19, which carries personal significance for Rashford. It was his first official squad number at Manchester United during the 2016–2018 seasons.
It was also worn by Lionel Messi in his early first-team days. This shirt became available recently after Lamine Yamal switched to the iconic number 10.
Finally, Rashford also has the option of wearing the number 22 jersey, which represents Rashford's breakthrough on the international stage.
He debuted for England wearing 22 and scored his first international goal against Australia, becoming one of the youngest ever to do so.
Most recently, the number was worn at Barça by Ilkay Gundogan and before that by Raphinha.

Gabby Thomas Turns Surprise Drug-Tester Visit Into TikTok Gold
Sprint star Gabby Thomas is also quick on her feet when it comes to awkward situations. In a TikTok video she shared Monday, the Paris Olympic triple-gold medalist was having a drink with friends at an event when a drug-tester showed up. Anti-doping agents take their unannounced visits seriously to catch cheats. Instead of fuming over the intrusion, Thomas played it for laughs and set it to the comic song 'Me, You and Steve' ― which is basically about an unwelcome third wheel named Steve. The video quickly panned to the smiling tester and back to Thomas going on with her socializing. 'I can't believe that it's finally me and you, and you and me/ Just us/ And your friend Steve,' the song goes. Thomas captioned the footage 'When antidoping surprises you but you had plans.' Click to watch it here. The clip appears to be on the up and up. The doping control official was recognized by former Olympic swimmer Erica Sullivan, a 1500-meter silver medalist at the Beijing Games in 2021. 'Wait she's tested me before,' Sullivan wrote. 'She's the best, loved gabbing to her about her kids drama.' Another commenter, who might have been aware of Thomas' whereabouts last fall, asked: 'What happens if you leave the country, or spending time in private areas? Like if you went to a resort in the Maldives where the island is owned by the hotel and can only be reached was sea plane transfer (you wouldn't be able to drive up and walk in without questions) for a week or two, would they come find you?' Replied Thomas: 'If you're out of the country, they use that country's doping control officers to find you. But yeah if you go to a diff country, less likely to be tested as frequently. And I actually did vacation in the Maldives last year and I wasn't tested, so I guess they can't find you there 😂.' Drug-testing has not always been a laughing matter for Thomas. She ran afoul of the Athletics Integrity Unit in 2020 for allegedly missing three tests and got provisionally suspended. But Thomas was able to prove her innocence in one instance and the ban was lifted. Related...
