Marcus Rashford's Potential Barcelona Jersey Number Reportedly Revealed

Marcus Rashford is set to don the No. 14 jersey during his temporary stint at Barcelona, continuing a tradition established by numerous legendary players at the club.

The English forward has attracted significant speculation regarding a potential move to Barcelona ever since Ruben Amorim excluded him from Manchester United's main squad last December. Following a loan period at Aston Villa during the previous half-season—where he sported the No. 9 jersey—Rashford appears to have secured his preferred transfer destination.

During his initial loan season for the 2025–26 campaign, Rashford will sport number 14, as initially reported by Mundo Deportivo.

During his twenty-year tenure with United, Rashford never donned the 14 shirt. He previously wore numbers 39 and 19 before receiving the club's No. 10 jersey in 2018. Matheus Cunha notably claimed those digits before his predecessor had even departed the club.

Barcelona exercised more patience, awaiting Pablo Torre's transfer to Mallorca this summer before allocating the 14 shirt to Rashford. While not diminishing Torre's contributions, the most notable player to wear that specific number for Barcelona was Thierry Henry.

The former Arsenal legend was succeeded by Javier Mascherano before a series of inconsistent attacking players appeared drawn to the jersey. Philippe Coutinho, Malcom, Memphis Depay and João Félix each wore the 14 at various times.

Despite common belief, the iconic Johan Cruyff never actually wore his famous No. 14 shirt while playing for Barcelona. The Dutch maestro was assigned No. 9 during his time in Catalonia. Cruyff's lesser-known son, Jordi, did feature for Barcelona wearing the 14.
