Frontman Rashford of course put pen to paper on a year-long loan deal at the Camp Nou last month.

The 27-year-old has spent the time since working towards integrating himself into Hansi Flick’s squad, a major step up for a player whose career had previously appeared to be getting away from him.

Speaking during an appearance on ‘The Rest is Football’ podcast this week, Rashford was therefore drawn on his initial impression of his new teammates.

Specifically, the Englishman was asked to describe the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Pedri and Lamine Yamal in one word.

And Rashford’s full list of answers are showcased below:

  • Lewandowski: Classy
  • Pedri: Elegant
  • Gavi: Fiery
  • Cubarsí: Mature
  • Koundé: Strong
  • Fermín: He floats. He’s a floater
  • Lamine: Special
  • Rashford: Exciting
