Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford continued his incredible form at Barcelona with another two goals in the Champions League.

Barcelona beat Olympiacos 6-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford playing the full 90 minutes.

Rashford starred in the Champions League against Newcastle United already this season, scoring twice at St James’ Park to beat the Premier League side.

Since completing a season-long loan move to Spain, Rashford has shone at Barcelona early into his tenure. His goals against Olympiacos mean he has now scored five and assisted five in 12 appearances.

Marcus Rashford scores twice in Barcelona victory

Rashford is becoming a favourite at Barcelona and he has earned a starting spot in Hansi Flick’s side.

With Robert Lewandowski injured, Rashford started up front for the Spanish side and he was heavily involved with their dominant 6-1 win.

Fermin Lopez will claim the headlines after scoring a hat-trick, but Rashford also enjoyed a productive evening.

As per SofaScore, Rashford was given a 9.3 rating for his performance – a score only topped by Lopez.

Rashford also won a penalty which was scored by Lamine Yamal.

Ruben Amorim doubted Marcus Rashford as a striker

During his time at Old Trafford, Rashford preferred to play left wing, but he also spent stints as a striker and on the right flank.

However, Rashford struggled to have the same impact for United when played down the middle. During his short spell under Amorim before he was frozen out of the squad, the Red Devils boss was left unimpressed.

Amorim was not convinced by Rashford as striker due to a lack of physicality. However, it was ultimately Rashford’s poor work rate in training that cost him his spot under the Portuguese head coach.

Rashford is willing to play striker for Barcelona, and it seems he is having much better luck up front for the Spanish giants.
