Video: Marcus Rashford makes his mark against familiar face in another impressive showing for Barca

Manchester United’s on loan star Marcus Rashford impressed once again as he grabbed an assist in FC Barcelona’s 7-3 victory over Jesse Lingard’s FC Seoul.

Impressed last time out

The 27-year-old impressed on his debut for Barcelona in their 3-1 victory over Vissel Kobe.

He played a key role in their second goal of the game and was once again a threat in his second match.

Impact off the bench

The England international had to make do with another start from the bench but he managed to play the entire second half.

He grabbed an assist for Barcelona’s seventh goal by expertly sliding in a through ball for Ferran Torres to slot home.

Earlier in the half, he almost scored his first goal for the Catalans.

In trademark fashion, Rashford expertly cut inside and unleashed a fearsome drive but it was parried away by the South Korean side’s keeper.

He managed two shots on target to go alongside his assist, in an impressive all-round display.

The United academy graduate completed 15 of his 18 passing attempts and made one key pass.

The winger also competed in three ground duels, winning one and made one interception for his team.

Lingard reunion

The pre-season match provided the opportunity for Rashford to come up against his former teammate, Lingard.

The two played for the youth team and senior team together until Lingard left the club in 2022.
