Manchester United fans noticed Marcus Rashford's strange reaction for scoring his first goal for Barcelona.

Following a public fallout with Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, it had long been reported that Rashford was set to leave the club when the transfer window opened this summer.

After a successful short-term loan with fellow Premier League side Aston Villa, it was thought that Rashford may look to stay in England for the near future.

However, after weeks of reports suggesting that it was his dream transfer, Rashford secured a loan move to join La Liga giants Barcelona, with the Spanish side securing an option to make the move permanent at the end of the 2025/26 season.

And now, less than two weeks after the move was confirmed, the England international has scored his first goal for Barcelona, but his reaction wasn't what you might expect.

Shortly after securing the move to Barcelona, Rashford made his debut as he came on to the pitch to replace Raphinha in the 46th minute during the club's pre-season friendly against Japanese side Vissel Kobe.

Although he failed to contribute to any of the goals in the 3-1 win, in the next friendly against Korean side FC Seoul, Rashford picked up an assist in the closing moments of the 7-3 victory.

In Barcelona's third a final friendly during their Asian tour, Rashford took this a step further scoring the fifth and final goal in the 5-0 win over Daegu FC in the 87th minute.

However, instead of celebrating the goal as you would expect, the Englishman instead played down any reaction to scoring his first Barcelona goal, and fans think they may know why.

Reacting to the goal, one Barcelona fan suggested on X: "RASHFORD! He is saving his celebration for his first competitive goal."

While another added: "No need to act nonchalant, you just scored for Barcelona!"

However, Manchester United fans were not so happy to see Rashford's reaction, with one writing on X: "Rashford acting nonchalant like he doesn't sleep every night in his barca pyjamas."

And another wrote: "Rashford nonchalant gimmick, bro just do your celebration."

Rashford's next appearances for Barcelona could come later this week as they face Serie A side Como in a match for the Joan Gamper Trophy.

Just six days later, they begin their La Liga campaign with a trip to the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix to face RCD Mallorca.
