The Catalans take on Man Utd on the back of an incredible run of results.
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has praised Marcus Rashford ahead of his side’s Europa League clash against Manchester United.
Rashford has revived his Man Utd career under Ten Hag this season, playing a key role in their attacking line. Since returning from the World Cup, the English striker has scored 13 goals in 15 games for the Red Devils.
Speaking in a pre-match press conference, Xavi said: “Rashford is one of the most dangerous forwards in Europe.
“He’s fast, he’s one-on-one and we’ll have to watch him a lot. He’s one of the best in Europe, without a doubt.
“We have assessed what they are doing. Rashford, [Alejandro] Garnacho, [Jadon] Sancho and [Wout] Weghorst might be a reference. The transitions are very quick.”
Man Utd are still competing in four competitions this season as they continue their impressive run under Ten Hag. The former Ajax boss, who joined the Red Devils in the summer, also received praise from Xavi.
“Ten Hag has changed the face of the team. It’s been hard for them but they’re doing a great job,” Xavi added.
“He is a great coach. Reversing the situation at United was not easy.
“He makes variants in attack and defence, they work very well. He is an attacking coach and he shows it in almost every game. He is a reference for coaches who like this kind of football.”
