MARCUS RASHFORD is closing in on his dream move to Barcelona but if he is to succeed he will have to follow 10 strict rules.
Hansi Flick has been in charge at Barca for a year and guided the club to three trophies last season, including the league and cup double.

But he did so by installing discipline and he makes his squad adhere to ultra strict rules, such as arriving at training 90 minutes early.
According to Spanish publication AS, that is one of 10 rules Flick’s players live by, and Rashford will have to adapt quickly if he wants to hit the ground running.
He will have to get used to Flick’s intense training sessions, which often last 90 minutes.
While on matchday there are warm up sessions players are required to take part in, which previous manager Xavi had scrapped following complaints.
There are several rules on game day, with players also told to meet at the team hotel ahead of every match – Flick is keen to avoid “unpleasant surprises”.
Players are restricted to just one day off a week with Flick demanding almost all of their time.
He tries to maintain a professional relationship with his players, and he grants them the respect to sustain their levels of discipline without resorting to fines.
Flick also instructs his players to eat food prepared by nutritionist Silvia Tremoleda at the club’s Ciutat Esportiva canteen.

And stars are required to take part in a daily weigh-in to keep a close eye on their fitness levels.
Fitness and recovery is key for Flick, so much so he has scrapped late night flights after away games – another change Rashford will have to get used to.
The England star has agreed a loan move to Barcelona and has touched down in the Spanish city following an arduous journey that saw him diverted and delayed.
