Xavi said: “In the transition he is very, very dangerous so, yes, we need to take care of all of them but especially Rashford. He’s one of the most dangerous players now in Europe, yeah. He’s very fast, he has a very good at dribbling in one-versus-one.”

Along with his positive words for United’s talisman, the Spaniard also shared how impressed he has been with ten Hag’s work in Manchester. The Dutchman has turned things around quickly in the Premier League whilst winning the hearts of all the Red Devils supporters, something Xavi has noticed.
The Barcelona manager said: “They are excited again, the club, the fan base and also the way they play does a lot. He changes things offensively, defensively, everyone’s working very well, so it’s a tough rival for us and he’s a very interesting coach.”
Ten hag’s side will be travelling to Spain tomorrow with the intention of finishing the tie early and Marcus Rashford will be pivotal in doing so. Leaving Xavi to create a plan that will keep United’s star man quiet over the two-legs.
