Xavi Hernandez, manager of Barcelona, has described Marcus Rashford as “one of Europe’s most dangerous players” ahead of his team’s Europa League match against Manchester United.
Marcus Rashford, the 25-year-old English attacker who has played for Manchester United since he was a child, has eight goals in his last nine Premier League games, giving him 13 goals in 15 club appearances since the World Cup.
The England international is now United’s most dangerous opponent because no other player in Europe’s top five leagues has scored more goals than him since the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Rashford’s career took off just a few months after it appeared that his time at Old Trafford was coming to an end.
Surprisingly, the Englishman will lead United against a formidable foe at the Nou Camp.
He agreed with Ten Hag that the player has emerged as one of Europe’s most dangerous.
Ahead of the FC Barcelona Vs Manchester United Europa League round of 16 clash at 18:45 on Thursday, Xavi said:
In the transition, he is very, very dangerous so, yes, we need to take care of all of them but especially Rashford.
He’s one of the most dangerous players now in Europe, yeah. He’s very fast, he has a very good at dribbling in one-versus-one.
