It is never easy for British players to acclimatise to new football. There are exceptions, of course, and increasingly so, but there are still more who have failed or fallen by the wayside outside the Premier League than those who have succeeded.
If we add to that the fact that we are talking about a player who had fallen out of favour at his lifelong club, Manchester United, and who arrived at a Barça with a very defined style, with an attacking trident more than consolidated with Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski and Raphinha, more difficulties can be added to that process.
But Rashford is shutting the mouths of those who doubted him. There were already glimmers of hope in his six months at Aston Villa. There, with the confidence of Unai Emery, he scored four goals in 17 games. And at Barça he has already surpassed that figure with five goals in two months. In addition, he has added another five assists.
It is in the Champions League where he is giving the best performance, with four goals and a decisive pass in three games. In LaLiga he has played in nine with just one goal, but has shared four goals.
