Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has revealed that he has been closely monitoring the career of summer signing Marcus Rashford for some time now.
This of course comes fresh off the 27-year-old taking to the pitch in the colours of his new club for the first time.
Frontman Rashford is now fully settled into his new surroundings in Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad.
After last week seeing his long-awaited Blaugrana switch made official on a season-long loan, the Englishman has spent the time since making a positive impression on the club’s coaching staff.
On Sunday, Rashford, in turn, was afforded his debut appearance, en route to a 3-1 friendly downing of Vissel Kobe in Japan.
Speaking during a press conference on Wednesday, Hansi Flick, in turn, was drawn on the name of the latest addition to his attacking ranks.
And Barca’s headmaster went on to admit:
“Rashford? I’ve been following him for many years, ever since he started his career at Man United. We hope he can show his quality this season.”
