Marcus Rashford has already made a strong impression at Barcelona just hours after joining completing his move to the Spanish giants.
Rashford was announced as a Barcelona player on Wednesday evening, joining the Catalans on a season-long loan from Manchester United.
Although the Englishman accepted a pay cut on his £325,000-a-week wage, he will remain one of the highest-paid players in Europe.
And if the 27-year-old impresses in Spain, then Barcelona have an option in the loan agreement to buy Rashford for 30m euros (£26m).

Now it has emerged that senior figures at Barcelona are already happy with their new addition.

"The Englishman has arrived in top form and very muscular."

The move appears to be a dream come true for Rashford, who previously spoke of his desire to play alongside Spanish wonderkid Lamine Yamal.
Speaking on Wednesday, Rashford said: "It's a club where dreams come true.
"They win big prizes and what the club stands for really means a lot to me.
"It feels like I'm at home and it's a big factor in my choice to come here.

"It's a family club and people are comfortable here."
Where will Marcus Rashford fit in?
It is no secret that Rashford was not Barcelona's first choice target this summer.

Their pursuit of Athletic Club's Nico Williams ended when he signed a new contract in Bilbao.
They also admired Liverpool's Luis Diaz, but it was expected to cost too much to prise him from the Premier League champions.
Rashford, who they did not have to pay a transfer fee for arrived as a reasonable alternative.
He will be used predominantly off the left, as cover for Brazil's Raphinha, who had an outstanding season last year.

Rashford could also get minutes through the middle covering Robert Lewandowski, who is nearly 37, although Ferran Torres is viewed as the back-up in that position.
Lamine Yamal is only 18, so opportunities may also arise on the right-side of Barca's attack.
What have Marcus Rashford's teammates said on the move?
Alejandro Garnacho, who is also set to leave Old Trafford this summer, replied to Barcelona's Instagram post confirming Rashford's signing.
He wrote: "Lets gooooo," followed by two salute emojis.
Jadon Sancho also wrote: "All the best brother!"
Meanwhile, former United teammates David De Gea and Anthony Martial have also given their support to the England international.
