A current Barcelona star has revealed what Marcus Rashford's performances are like in training.
During the summer transfer window, Rashford left Manchester United to join Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona on loan for the 25/26 season.
Since joining Hansi Flick's side, Rashford has so far registered five goals and seven assists in 13 matches across all competitions for the Catalan club.
As a result of the 28-year-old's impressive start as a Barcelona player, it has been suggested that they are ready to make his loan move permanent.

According to the Spanish news outlet SPORT, relayed by Tribal, Barcelona are reportedly ready to take up the permanent option in Rashford’s loan, although there is still some debate about a potential fee due to Barca’s financial situation.
Barca can trigger the option for a fee of £26.2 million, but Rashford, who is contracted to his parent club until June 2028, will likely have to sacrifice a portion of his current £315,000 per week salary from his deal at United.
Recently, Rashford's teammate at Barcelona, Wojciech Szczesny, has spoken about the Englishman's performances in training while heaping praise on his qualities.
As reported by the Manchester Evening News, the goalkeeper said to Barcelona's YouTube channel: "He's an excellent player, I love him a lot. Direct in his play, attacks with speed, and he's contributed to a lot of goals. I think he's a complete player, and I remember him since he was 18 or 19 in the Premier League. I knew he was special back then.
"He has fewer goals than he deserves, because in training, when he's having a good day, you can't stop him. If he shows that magical right foot more in matches, he'll be very dangerous."
Rashford and Barcelona will be back in La Liga action this weekend when they take on Elche at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday afternoon.
