Overview

• Barcelona left Marcus Rashford out of the Getafe XI for arriving late to a team meeting, then saw him come on to assist in a 3-0 win as Hansi Flick framed the move as rotation under a strict no‑lateness policy.
• Alan Shearer warned Rashford “can’t be unprofessional,” echoing Paul Scholes’ separate claim that the forward “quit on Man Utd,” as scrutiny of the player’s attitude intensified.
• Rashford is on a season‑long loan with a reported £26m Barcelona option, and Spanish reports relayed by Football365 say PSG are prepared to bid about €45m (£39m) next summer, which could complicate any permanent move.
• Ruben Amorim praised José Mourinho and said he is focused only on Manchester United after a 2-1 win over Chelsea that featured early red cards and tactical tweaks highlighted by analysis, including Matthijs de Ligt stepping into midfield.
• Former defender Phil Jones suggested Kobbie Mainoo may push for a loan if his limited minutes continue, noting the midfielder’s role has been largely from the bench so far.
