New owner of Red and Blue No. 14: Rashford takes over Henry s mantle and lands in Camp Nou

July 24th - Spain's World Sports exclusively disclosed today that the jersey number of England striker Marcus Rashford after joining Barcelona on loan was confirmed: No. 14. This means that he will take over the number left by Pablo Torre, who has switched to Majorca this summer, and will also create new intersections with Barcelona technical predecessors such as Henry, Coutinho, Depp, and Felix.

Rashford's scandal with Barcelona began to ferment in December last year. Manchester United coach Amorin excluded him from the first team at that time, and the player then loaned to Aston Villa and put on No. 9. Now, he finally realized his "red and blue" dream in the 2025-26 season, and the 14th is also a brand new experience for him - he has played for Manchester United for 20 years, and he has never been in this number. He was the 39th in the early days, and after becoming famous, he took over the 19th, and then fixed it as the 10th in 2018, until he left the team this summer.

Barcelona was quite cautious when awarding numbers, and it was not until Torre confirmed that he left the team and gave No. 14 to the new player. Historically, although this number was not used by Cruyff (the Dutch wore No. 9 back then), it became famous for Henry, Mascherano, Malcolm and others, and became a symbol of technical players. Camp Nou will wait and see whether Rashford can continue the creative tradition of No. 14.
