Marcus Rashford convinced Barcelona defender Jules Kounde should have been awarded red card

Marcus Rashford was sure Jules Kounde should have been punished for a foul on him.

The Manchester United forward claims Kounde ought to have been kicked off the field.

Rashford was perplexed as to why Kounde's challenge did not result in a foul on the night he scored his fourth goal in as many games and his fourth goal in as many games overall.

In the 64th minute, after Marcos Alonso had given the hosts the lead, Rashford was set free behind the Blaugrana defense by Bruno Fernandes. At that point, the visitors were up 2-1 on the game.

As Rashford approached the edge of the box to make a potentially game-saving challenge, Kounde, who had tracked back to stop the forward, appeared to catch his leg, sending Rashford to the ground.

Nevertheless, there was no foul called, and Kounde avoided getting sent off during Thursday's thrilling 3-3 draw at the Nou Camp.

'It's a massive moment in the game,' Rashford began after the final whistle. 'I've not watched it back, but in the moment I don't understand why the linesman or the referee thinks I'm going down there.

'I've touched it past him and my foot's in front of the ball, and he hits my leg, and it's clear contact. It's not a penalty but it's 100 per cent a foul for me, but like I said I've not watched it back.'

Rashford ignited his team's comeback and appeared to have put them on track to earning their first-ever victory over Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

After falling behind just two minutes earlier, he defeated Marc-Andre ter Stegen at the near post to put United back in the lead in the 52nd minute.

After Raphinha's cross went directly past David de Gea to tie the score at 2-2, the Red Devils were denied what would have been a memorable victory.

Even though they were put under late pressure by Casemiro nearly scoring on himself and Ansu Fati forcing the Spaniard to make a good save, United still hold a commanding lead going back to Old Trafford for the second game.
