He has also contributed 11 assists across all three competitions [Champions League, La Liga, and domestic cup] and is the only player in Hansi Flick’s squad this season to score in every competition.
He could have easily achieved a hat-trick against Guadalajara if not for an outstanding performance by their goalkeeper.
Barcelona has not yet made a decision on whether to negotiate a permanent deal with his parent club, United.
However, AS reports that “the reality is that Rashford is making it very difficult for them not to sign him permanently at the end of the season.”
He was not initially the top target for the position during the summer transfer window.
Sporting director Deco had both Luis Diaz and Nico Williams ahead of him on his wishlist.
Yet, bringing the England international into the fold has proven beneficial, with Flick reportedly pleased with his performances and attitude within the team.
From now until the end of the season, Rashford’s focus will be on increasing his contributions and persuading Barcelona to invest in him.
Rashford and his teammates are currently at the top of La Liga.
They hold a four-point lead over their closest rivals, Real Madrid, and are still vying for success in the Copa Del Rey.
They are positioned well for progression as they continue to compete across all competitions.
However, some effort is still needed to secure a top-eight finish and advance directly to the last 16, with Flick’s side trailing Atletico Madrid – who currently occupy that final position – by two points.
