Manchester City star Phil Foden has reacted to Marcus Rashford’s Barcelona message after the winger hit his first milestone with the Spanish giants.
Rashford completed a loan move from Manchester United to the Catalan club during the summer, as he looks to get his career back on track.
Under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford, the 27-year-old fell well down the pecking order and was forced out on loan to Aston Villa for the second half of last season.
Now, the England international is set for a full campaign away from his boyhood club, as he aims to rediscover some of his best form under Hansi Flick in Spain.

Rashford has had a difficult start to his Barcelona career and has often been reduced to bit-part appearances during the opening month of La Liga action.
However, his time with the Spanish champions took a turn for the better on Sunday (14 September) evening, as Barca beat Valencia 6-0.
Rashford was handed a start by Flick, and the German manager was rewarded for his trust in the winger, who picked up an assist in the second half.

After the game, Rashford shared some photos from the game on Instagram, with the caption: “What a night!!
Long live Barca.”
Man City attacker Phil Foden liked the post to show support for his international teammate.
Meanwhile, Rashford could earn a permanent move to Barcelona if he can put together a string of good performances, sources have told Football Insider.
Having been heavily criticised in Spain since his summer move, reports have gone as far as to suggest Rashford could be sent back to Man United.
However, the Catalan club are expected to stick with him for the duration of his loan spell and he will be given the chance to prove himself in an upcoming crucial run of games.
After his performance against Valencia, the upcoming Champions League clash with Newcastle United is being eyed as an opportunity for him to impress.
