Barcelona’s Marcus Rashford aims dig at Manchester United

Marcus Rashford stole the show for Barcelona last night with two superb goals in their 2-1 win away to Newcastle United in the Champions League.

Barca had to be patient against Eddie Howe’s resilient side, but Rashford ended up producing a real moment of magic with the winning goal from outside the box.

The England international is currently on loan at Barcelona from Manchester United, and he seems to be enjoying his football again after a difficult spell.

Rashford clearly seemed to lose motivation at Man Utd, but he’s also spoken now about how refreshing it is to be at Barcelona.

“It’s going good. Obviously learning a lot, it’s a new way of football. I’m enjoying it all and I think it’s making me a better player. That’s what I’m here to do, help the team win but also try and improve and be the best I can,” Rashford told TNT Sports after the game.

“Honestly it’s an amazing experience, I’ve always been a huge admirer of Barcelona. Most people my age have watched them play from when we were younger, so it’s amazing football, amazing players and we just want to win as much as possible.”

He added: “I’m full of excitement. I’m very motivated, very determined and the quality we’ve got in the team, that excites me alone.

“It’s refreshing to play with these guys. I’ve said it a few times but the team’s so young, they play with such confidence, such understanding of the game.”

This clearly sounds like a player who needed a change of scene, and who needed to get away from Old Trafford.
