MARCUS Rashford lived up to pre-match praise from both Erik ten Hag and Xavi as Manchester United drew 2-2 with Barcelona in their Europa League knockout play-off first leg.

He drew Man Utd level, smashing a shot past Marc-Andre ter Stegen two minutes after Marcos Alonso had headed Barcelona into a 50th-minute lead.

He helped to complete the turnaround seven minutes later, drilling a cross along the six-yard box that Jules Kounde deflected into his own net as Man Utd looked set to claim another famous win at the Nou Camp.

But Raphinha dashed those hopes when his inswinging cross found its way inside David de Gea’s far post to set up a tantalising second leg at Old Trafford next week.
