Rashford’s open goal nightmare for Barca leaves Raphinha stunned

Marcus Rashford left Raphinha stunned as he missed the chance tap into an open goal during a friendly against Como.

Marcus Rashford has officially swapped Manchester for Barcelona and while the deal represents a significant opportunity for the player to rediscover his best form, club legend Rivaldo has poured cold water on any suggestions that the English forward will walk into the starting XI, particularly at the expense of Raphinha. Rashford has moved on a one-year loan deal and the Spanish giants retain the option to make the deal permanent next summer for a fee of £30 million.
