0:45 barca play like 90 min of continuous transitional play. same as Aston villa unai emery
Really happy to see his talent and athleticism thrive at a club like Barca.
All the best Rashy
Also, the only forward to perfectly convert Pedri's beautiful passes into assists.
Ex Man united player in "is actually good when you let them play their game" shocker
I’m a United fan but will admit our fans are so toxic.
This is also partly to do with his own malaise at utd. He got comfortable, he wasn't stimulated and his attitude was poor. He was a bad egg in the dressing room and wasnt working hard wnough on the pitch. It was just a case of he needed a new challenge and UTD needed to remove a bad influence. Its worked out great for both parties and I have nothing against him although its slightly disappointing as a UTD fan that he wouldn't do it for us.
He still.has lots to improve especially his game off the ball. He can't press properly and lost ball very stupidly
Who knew if you give a good player the ball in the final third good things happen lol. It’s almost like he was always a good player 😅
I would just say he has less injuries. Guy was always out at Man UTD.
6 7
He needs to defensively contribute more because balde is more of an offensive fullback. Rashford's lack of work-rate all the defensive load is on balde thats a flaw in our system.
Never expected to see John wear a Famalicão shirt
So you’re telling me you need to let an attacker touch the ball in dangerous areas, Amorim should take notes
He's not helping out Gerard Martin/Balde which is costing us goals
I just hope Barca buy him for 60 million. Will be worth it for both sides.
Fama shirt? from a Portuguese, that is class
Man literally explained why Flick and Barcas setup is making Rashford more productive but says we shouldn't just credit Flick and Barca 😒😒😒
The biggest reason is getting out of Manchester. And I’m not talking about the club, I’m talking about the bad influences.
Say what you want about United, there’s no excuse for unprofessionalism and he was in trouble multiple times with multiple managers.
Sometimes both sides are to blame
Why was the YouTuber a bit special today
Or am I still sleepy
He needs a contract, that’s why… he is trying harder and next season once he gets that money, he will drop down again
Well, it does make sense. United doesn’t play with wingers.
Rashfords best season was with a fit shaw playing behind him. Not a suprise that hes no producing with balde behind hime.
You always give misleading information! He was poor with Aston villa and average in Barca ! 😅
He's only getting this attention cuz he's english, he's actually not that good
Oh and corner, he is the corner kick taker at Barcelona. Thats an important stat
No Hansi Flick can take some credit bc Rashford is actually hustling and tracking back. He looks locked in.
So it's actually man utd players and coaches who suck at advancing the ball into the final third then
And let's evaluate his performance and work ethics after he gets his permanent transfer to barca
