Marcus Rashford has spoken admiringly about Lamine Yamal and revealed how he was in touch with his former team-mate about the recent Ballon d’Or awards.
The England international has returned to Manchester United after a season with Barcelona, where he won La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup, but says he’s never played with anyone as talented as Yamal.
“I talked to Lamine, not after the awards but before. And before I left Barcelona, I told him I’ve played with some talented, talented players, but he’s above them all,” he said, per the Manchester Evening News.
