Man United and Arsenal set their sights on Barcelona winger

Valverde said: “He’s a player with self-assuredness. He has the goal in his head.

“I believed he could help us in this game and that it’s good for the B team players to come and face a situation like this.”

He was purchased this summer and moved up a division after scoring 12 times from 41 league appearances for Real Valladoid.

Barcelona sit top of La Liga and are four points clear of Valencia having won eight out of nine of their league games.

They will play the second leg of the Copa del Rey fixture on November, 29 at the Nou Camp.
They have not lost to Murcia since they were defeated 2-0 in 1989.
