Manchester United winger Marcus Rashford lavished praise on his former teammate Lamine Yamal:

"I have played with many very, very talented players, but Lamine Yamal is above them all.

He is the player closest to reaching Lionel Messi’s level in the coming years.

I have great faith in this player’s talent.”

"I wouldn’t be surprised if the Spaniard won seven Ballon d’Or awards.”

Lamine Yamal has scored thirteen goals in fifteen matches this season.

He finished third in the Ballon d’Or award, while Harry Kane was the winner.
