Good day, everyone, and welcome to my blog. Yesterday, I wrote about Fermin Lopez's incredible performance against Olympiacos, as he scored six goals. However, today I want to give Marcus Rashford his flowers as well, because he also displayed an incredible performance in the match against Olympiacos. In the six-goal thriller against Olympiacos, Marcus Rashford had two goals in the match, and this has increased his total tally of goals in the Champions League to four in three games.
One month ago, I remember writing a post about how the pressure from some fans for Rashford to perform quickly should be reduced because the expectations that most fans were having were off the charts, and they failed to remember that Rashford is a player who was struggling at Manchester United before leaving on loan to Barcelona this summer. The talent is there, no doubt about that, but I remembered making emphasis on how the Englishman needs time to blend with the team, and before we know it, he will be unstoppable.
It is already panning out now as Rashford has slowly gotten into form with the team and is already giving a good performance on the pitch. It is clear that Marcus Rashford was not the problem at Manchester United as the problem was the club. Four Manchester United players are performing so well in their different clubs since leaving the club, and this has only made the rumours about the club killing the career of players true. I am 100 per cent certain that Rashford sees no future anymore in playing for Manchester United.
There is no doubt that if the Englishman keeps this performance quality and finishes well at the end of the season, FC Barcelona will consider keeping Rashford permanently at the club next season. The price for the Englishman should be around 40-50 million euros, or could even increase if Rashford has a better season, which I am sure he will have at Barcelona. It is also important to point out that Hansi Flick also influenced this form for Rashford this season as he did with Raphinha.
This is why it is important for players to have a manager who trusts and supports them on and off the pitch, as it is crucial for their development. The injuries somehow has been an opportunity for Rashford as he has been getting of playing time on the pitch and I am curious to see what will happen when Lewandowski, Raphinha and Ferran Torres are all fit together how Hansi Flick will set his attack because Rashford is on a good form, but I trust Hansi Flick to make the right decision when the time comes as he has also done in the past.
The El Clásico match will be a big one for Rashford this weekend and I am looking forward to him giving a good performance against Barcelona's top rivals in the league. So, guys, that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
