'For what he does' - Rashford singles out Barcelona's most underrated player

Barcelona's new striker Marcus Rashford answered a series of quick-fire questions about his Blaugrana teammates, whom he is getting to know better each day.

In an interview with "Sport," the 27-year-old named Gavi as the funniest player in the dressing room.

When asked if he had been pranked as a newcomer, he replied, "No, not yet. I hope they don't."

According to him, the 'best-dressed player on the team is likely Jules Koundé', while the most underrated is Frenkie de Jong.

"It's tough, they are all very good. But for what he does for the team, I think it's Frenkie," he said.

Since arriving from Ajax in 2019, De Jong's versatility has been a key asset for Barcelona, allowing him to be deployed in various midfield roles and even occasionally in defense.

The Netherlands international has been a consistent presence in the squad, becoming an integral part of the team's possession-based style of play.

Despite the club's well-documented financial issues and periods of inconsistent form, De Jong has remained a constant and reliable performer.

His time at the Camp Nou has yielded several domestic titles, including the 2022-23 La Liga title, the 2020-21 Copa del Rey, and the 2022-23 and 2024-25 Spanish Super Cups.

De Jong's journey at Barcelona has not been without its challenges.

He has been the subject of frequent transfer rumors, largely due to the club's need to balance its books, but he has consistently expressed his desire to stay and become a legend at the club.

Injury setbacks have also been a concern, at times limiting his availability and disrupting his rhythm.

Nevertheless, he continues to be a central figure in the team, serving as a vital link between defense and attack.

Rashford also made some other picks surrounding his new teammates.

The England star revealed the most talented player he has played with is Lamine Yamal, to whom he would also give the Ballon d'Or.

"Lamine, Raphinha, or Dembélé. All three deserve it; they had a very, very good season," Rashford said.

When asked whether he would prefer a Champions League title with Barcelona or a World Cup trophy with England, Rashford gave a diplomatic answer: "Both."

The defender who has given him the most trouble on the pitch so far is Virgil van Dijk.

The best decision of his career? "To play football."

When asked for his favorite word in Spanish, Rashford answered succinctly: "Team."

Rashford also explained the meaning behind his goal celebration, where he points to his head: "It's simply a matter of mentality."
