Rashford’s Barcelona Debut and Flick’s Frustration…
Manchester United players rallied behind Marcus Rashford with more enthusiasm than a stadium full of cheering fans, as he debuted for Barcelona against Mallorca. Rashford joined the fray as a substitute, taking the baton from Ferran Torres, who swapped his Manchester City blue for a goal in this early season clash. The game was as intense as a salsa dance episode, with Mallorca down to nine men and Rashford sharing post-game celebrations with a flourish on Instagram. Even his new buddy Ronald Araujo dropped emojis like confetti, while United stars showered likes like rice at a wedding.
While Rashford’s social media soared, his coach, Hansi Flick, might as well have been practicing his grumpy face in front of a mirror. Flick scolded his squad for playing like they were conserving energy for a couch potato contest after catching two red cards. “This can’t happen against nine players,” he thundered, as serious as a teacher policing a recess. Despite his intensity, Flick mused over Rashford’s limited play chances, blaming Mallorca’s packed defense for turning the field into an obstacle course fit for Ninja Warriors. Who knew football could be such a comedy of errors?
