Flick has his reasons for going for Rashford when Raphinha was one of his best players for last season now both players can not start a the same time but who knows if Raphinha is not feet like last season that could be the reason why Rashford is in the picture already it could also be that they need a younger player that could replace him at Barcelona so that it will not be difficult for them when his contract expires with the team and they are not willing to offer him another contract because of his age. Raphinha should be a regular starter if his feet but the coach will have the final say as for who getsore playing time among the players.
Do or you or have you all forgotten that Rashford was never in the radar or books of Barcelona for players to be signed? If that's the case, how can he be the option of Raphinha's replacement if he doesn't perform as he did last season. Talking about age, the age difference between Rashford and Raphinha is just 1 year. Rashford is 27 while Raphinha is 28 currently, so I don't even think it's about a younger player.
