Manchester United fans have reacted to Marcus Rashford’s impressive individual performance in the Champions League.

The 27-year-old forward started for Barcelona against Newcastle United as the Spanish giants picked up their first three points in the league phase of the competition.

A brace from Rashford proved to be the difference maker on the night as the on-loan Manchester United star rolled back the years and reminded fans of his qualities.

Anthony Gordon’s late goal for Newcastle wasn’t enough to inspire a full comeback from Eddie Howe’s men, with Rashford being the match-winner as the game ended 2-1.

With England manager Thomas Tuchel watching in the stands, Rashford had the entire footballing world, including Manchester United fans, talking about him once again.

Manchester United fans stunned by ‘world-class’ Marcus Rashford

Rashford scored his first goal in the Champions League since 2021 to put Barcelona ahead as he got on the end of a cross to head the ball into the back of the net.

However, it was his second goal that silenced St. James’ Park as the England international unleashed a thunderbolt strike from outside the box that Nick Pope was unable to get anywhere near.

Given Manchester United’s early struggles this season, an impressive performance such as this from Rashford has stunned fans, given his inability to get into Ruben Amorim’s side.

One fan claimed that Rashford’s performance is another example of a player being “ruined at Man United,” as they praised him for his “two unbelievable finishes.”

Another admitted they “can’t believe Man United made us forget how good this guy is.”

One fan claimed that Rashford’s goal was a “cracker,” while another stated that “Rashford is back,” as they showcased their thoughts on his efforts.

Another supporter stated that the “Rashford slander must end” after what he was able to do in the Champions League.

Marcus Rashford’s impressive stats against Newcastle United highlight what he can offer

Rashford played for 81 minutes against Newcastle United, proving that he’s more than capable of delivering quality performances against Premier League opposition still.

Amorim deemed Rashford surplus to requirements last season. The versatile forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa before joining Barcelona in the summer for the 2025-26 campaign.

Rashford caused Kieran Trippier problems throughout the night. He had six shots on goal and made 64 touches.

He was a constant source of problems for the Magpies and an instant reminder to Barcelona and Manchester United fans of what he can deliver.
