UEFA Champions League 2018/19: Manchester United 0-1 FC Barcelona - 5 Hits and Flops 

#4 Flop - Marcus Rashford

Rashford struggled to make an impact against Barcelona

The onus was well and truly on Marcus Rashford to trouble Barcelona with his pace and trickery on Wednesday, but the forward did not give a good account of himself at Old Trafford.

The 21-year-old sealed Manchester United's progression to the quarter-finals with a level-headed penalty in stoppage time against Paris Saint-Germain in the previous round, and more was expected of him against the Catalan giants.

However, Rashford lacked his usual flair and clinical nature in front of goal to hardly trouble the visitors in what worked out as a largely insipid display at home for the Red Devils, yet again.

Despite providing the cross that produced his team's best chance on the night, when Diogo Dalot planted a free header agonisingly wide, Rashford was far from his usual self and struggled to make an impact against Barcelona.

Furthermore, Rashford failed to make the most of a direct free-kick from a good position as he blasted the ball way over the crossbar and did very little to offer some hope to the hosts, who did not register a single shot on target during the game.
