For the new Barcelona loanee Marcus Rashford, settling into life at Camp Nou has brought plenty of fresh experiences, including sizing up his new teammates. The English forward, who arrived from Manchester United on a season-long loan, was recently asked who he considers the most underrated player at Barcelona. Without hesitation, Rashford highlighted Frenkie de Jong, praising the Dutch midfielder’s crucial role in the team.
De Jong has often divided opinion among fans and pundits since his move to Barcelona, with some critics questioning his consistency. Yet, time and again, his name surfaces whenever teammates are asked about who impresses them most on and off the pitch. Rashford echoed that sentiment, stressing that De Jong’s influence in midfield goes beyond statistics, as he quietly keeps the team balanced and effective.
The 28-year-old Dutchman endured an injury-troubled 2024-25 campaign due to ankle problems but is determined to return stronger this season. Barcelona expect him to play a central role in their 2025-26 campaign, and talks of a new contract suggest the club remains fully invested in his future. With Rashford praising him publicly and coach Hansi Flick counting on him, De Jong now has the opportunity to silence critics and reaffirm his importance in Barcelona’s push for silverware.
