The on-loan forward put together a Player of the Match performance as Barcelona picked up their first three points of the Champions League’s first phase by defeating Newcastle 2-1.
Anthony Gordon’s late goal was nothing more than a consolation for Eddie Howe’s men, and the entire football world was left talking about Rashford.
That included his former Manchester United teammate, as the current club captain was stunned by what he saw happen at St. James’ Park.

Bruno Fernandes has his mind blown by Marcus Rashford
Rashford might not be wanted by Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, but his former teammates haven’t forgotten him, with Fernandes being impressed by what he saw from him.
The on-loan Barcelona forward scored a brace to give his new side the win, with the first goal being a header and the second being an incredible strike into the top corner from outside the box.
Fernandes immediately took to social media, sharing several emojis, making it clear he was wowed and had his mind blown by Rashford’s strike.

Marcus Rashford delivered exactly what Manchester United need right now
Rashford and Amorim didn’t see eye to eye during their time working together, which led to the England international being loaned out to Aston Villa for the second half of last season.
He is spending this season on loan at Barcelona, and after failing to score in his first four games for the club, he showcased his qualities.
After a tough start to the season, Rashford’s goals and overall energy throughout the game are exactly what Manchester United could benefit from right now out wide.
