Jules Kounde has revealed his first impressions of Barcelona loanee Marcus Rashford as the English-speaking defender helps him settle in at the club.

Former Manchester United team-mates Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard were reunited in South Korea as Barcelona faced FC Seoul during the Asia tour of the pre-season preparations. After the match, the two former colleagues caught up and shared a photograph on Instagram and under the comment section, Paul Pogba sent an emotional message, while Nemanja Matic cracked a joke.

Barcelona may look to offload youngster Marc Casado for a cut-price fee in order to push through Marcus Rashford's registration at the club.

Manchester United have committed to £133.5 million worth of new signings but appear to be successfully navigating what had previously been thought to be PSR limitations.

Raphinha has welcomed Marcus Rashford to Barcelona with a firm message, warning the Manchester United loanee about the fierce competition for places at the club. The Brazilian insists that increased rivalry in the squad will only push players to improve as Barca look to compete for major trophies again this season after their great debut season under Hansi Flick.
