Overview

• The loanee set up Ronald Araujo from an 88th‑minute corner in Barcelona’s 3-1 win at Real Oviedo on Thursday.
• Opta data published on September 26 shows Rashford has attempted more take-ons in the opposition box than any player in Europe’s top five leagues this season (10).
• He scored twice earlier this month in a 2-1 Champions League victory over Newcastle United.
• Flick has publicly backed him as a personal target, though Rashford was benched against Getafe for arriving late to a team meeting under the manager’s strict standards.
• Reporting indicates Barcelona hold a buy option of roughly just over £26 million and will assess his consistency over the season before deciding on a permanent move.
