"Marcus Rashford's start to life at Barcelona has been better than what many expected of him, especially given how things had gone for him last season in the Premier League. The 28-year-old forward, however, has proved to have an elite goalscoring ability and has stepped up his game, especially in the UEFA Champions League, where he already has two braces in three appearances this season."
"While Rashford has indeed shown an incredible ball-striking ability in his short time at Barcelona, there are clear avenues where he still has to tangibly improve, with the primary one being his decision-making and link-up play. While the player has scored stunning goals from tight angles and long range, he is yet to establish himself as one who can thrive in tight spaces and link up with those around him to get into goalscoring positions - something that is crucial at Barcelona."
Marcus Rashford has begun his Barcelona spell with strong goalscoring form, notably scoring two braces in three UEFA Champions League appearances. He has shown elite ball-striking ability while contributing eleven goals in fourteen games this season. Barcelona have not yet committed to making the loan permanent, and Rashford must improve decision-making and link-up play to fit the team's intricate style. He has scored from tight angles and long range but has not consistently thrived in tight spaces or linked effectively with teammates. Raphinha's imminent return will reduce playing time, increasing urgency for Rashford to further elevate his performances.
