With a couple of days until the first Europa League clash between Barcelona and Manchester United, the Spanish media is already talking about the factors that may be a threat for the Camp Nou side in this first leg.
Outlet AS today features a story telling how the one particular man at Old Trafford is now ‘putting fear’ into the La Liga giants.
That’s born again star Marcus Rashford, who’s having the best season of his career, with 21 goals and eight assists in 31 appearances so far.
It’s pointed out that the striker now has 13 goals in 15 games, and Barcelona’s biggest issue is that he can do that from multiple positions.
That’s why AS claims ‘his versatility is his main weapon’, as he’s ‘unpredictable’ and can hit them through the middle, from the right, the left or even in the air.
They also add that while the 25-year-old may go ‘unnoticed’ in some parts of the match, he always seems to find his way to the goal eventually.
With no other player scoring more than him since the World Cup, Rashford is obviously the Manchester United player who scares Barcelona the most, and the Catalan side are set to make an extra effort to stop him.
AS doesn’t even bother writing about other assets from Erik ten Hag’s side, making it clear Rashford is a threat on his own.
