There seems to be a poor patch of form in Marcus Rashford of late. But that is something that Ole is definitely not worried about since the striker has obvious potential. And at only 21 years old, that’s kind of expected from him.

Against Barcelona at Old Trafford, Rashford didn’t cover himself in glory; this was one of his silent games. At Camp Nou however, with Manchester United chasing an unimaginable comeback, the young Englishman will have to be on top form. He’s expected to start as the lone striker here and that will leave him most of the time trying to hold up play.

This is something that the Englishman will have to do and do well if United are to overturn this tie. Other than that, he’ll have to work the channels and make sure he stretches play anytime he gets the chance. Also, he’ll have to be ruthlessly clinical here as United can’t afford to lose any chances.

If all goes well, he will also be needed to put a huge defensive display in the closing minutes of the tie.
