Marcus Rashford: Man United loanee struggles on big night in Europe Manchester United had two players in loan action over Tuesday and Wednesday.

Marcus Rashford The Manchester United forward has been given a great opportunity to stake a claim in the first team with the injury to Raphinha.
He took full advantage at the weekend when he scored a great solo goal against Atletico Madrid. Nonetheless, it has been reported that his permanent move to the club could be in jeopardy as FC Barcelona seek out cheaper options. Rashford played 73 minutes of Barcelona’s 0-2 home defeat to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
He thought he had given his side a route back into the game, but his goal was ruled offside after he tapped in from a Lamine Yamal cross. Rashford had one key pass in the match and made one of his five cross attempts. He had seven shots on goal, with four hitting the target.
The United winger also hit the woodwork in what turned out to be a frustrating evening for the 28-year-old. Rashford did complete all three of his dribble attempts and was proactive in his defensive duties, winning four out of five duels. Barcelona will return to action on Saturday evening against Espanyol in the Catalan derby.
