MARCUS RASHFORD was hauled off at half-time on his full Barcelona debut with his side trailing Levante 2-0.
The England star made his debut off the bench last week and played 20 minutes as Barca cruised to a 3-0 win over Mallorca.
That earned him a start away at Levante, but he was hooked at half-time after failing to impress.
Rashford departed with Marc Casado and the pair were replaced by Dani Olmo and Gavi.
It took just four minutes for Barcelona to mount a comeback, with Pedri firing in a rocket from distance.
Three minutes later, the score was level as former Manchester City star Ferran Torres volleyed in from a corner.
Fans slammed Rashford’s performance and suggested he had brought a losing mentality with him from Old Trafford.
One reacted saying: “Rashford has successfully brought the Man Utd mentality to Barca.”
Another added: “Why this coach go start Rashford Abeg, he carried Man Utd losing mentality to Barcelona.”
A third wrote: “You can take Rashford out of Man Utd but you can’t take Man Utd out of Rashford.”
And another commented: “Marcus Rashford plays like he’s still playing for Man Utd. No application of intelligence on the ball at all, doesn’t even know how to position himself.
“Hasn’t he been training or what? Does he think running is everything? Dude, you are playing for Barcelona. Play smart!”
Barcelona pressed for a winner and had to be patient but it finally came in stoppage time.
Unsurprisingly, Lamine Yamal was the architect as he floated a cross to the back post which was headed into his own net by Levante defender Unai Elgezabal.
