Marcus Rashford’s move to FC Barcelona has now been officially unveiled, and with it comes confirmation of his new shirt number. The England international, who joins the Catalan side on loan from Manchester United, will don the iconic No.14 jersey for the 2025-26 campaign.
The number became available following the departure of Pablo Torre, who joined Real Mallorca earlier this summer. Rashford, previously associated with the No.10 at Manchester United, will begin a new chapter at Camp Nou under Hansi Flick, wearing a shirt steeped in history.
A Number with Legacy
The No.14 shirt is not just any number at Barcelona—it carries a legacy. Over the decades, some of the most influential figures in the club’s history have worn it with distinction.
-
Jordi Cruyff was the first notable bearer, continuing the legacy of his father, Johan Cruyff, who famously made the number legendary.
-
Thierry Henry, a player Rashford has openly admired, dazzled fans in the 14 shirt from 2007 to 2010.
-
The number was also worn by:
-
Gerard LĂłpez
-
Santi Ezquerro
-
Javier Mascherano, known for his grit and leadership from 2010–2018
-
Memphis Depay, Philippe Coutinho, and JoĂŁo FĂ©lix in more recent years
-
Rashford’s decision to take this number is both symbolic and ambitious, reflecting his intent to make an impact in his new surroundings.
A New Chapter Begins
Rashford is expected to make his debut on Barcelona’s pre-season tour, with a potential first appearance coming against Vissel Kobe this Sunday. His arrival brings added firepower to Flick’s frontline, offering versatility, pace, and creativity.
