Take a look at how Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard rate their teammates in an interview with MUTV.

The Red Devils pair rate their teammates, while also providing some light-hearted banter and insight into the United squad.

Rashford on his teammates:

David De Gea – ‘He catches everything. Sticky – call him Sticky. Sticky gloves.’
Sergio Romero – ‘Him and David protect the goals in different ways. David drops back and makes saves while Sergio makes himself massive.’
Eric Bailly – ‘Warrior.’
Matteo Darmian – ‘I think he loves to defend. He’s a traditional defender. I bet, for the manager, it’s important to know that you’ve always got a player like that within the squad.’
Tim Fosu-Mensah – ‘He’s similar to the way Eric defends in terms of how he likes to attack the ball. He’s not one of those defenders who likes to drop and let the attacker get it.’
Marcos Rojo – ‘Because he’s played foreign football, he has the composure.’
Michael Carrick – ‘Everything is played so quick around him, yet he plays at his own tempo and hardly ever loses the ball.’
Marouane Fellaini – ‘He’s a beast. Definitely. He actually is. He’s a machine. He knows what he’s good at and is persistent and does it and does it.’
Henrikh Mkhitaryan – ‘He looks quicker with the ball. When he’s dribbling with the ball, it’s like he finds another gear.’
Anthony Martial – ‘He’s funny. For someone who doesn’t speak much English, he’s a very funny person.’
Jesse Lingard – ‘Joker.’

Lingard on his teammates: 

Daley Blind – ‘Composure as its finest.’
Phil Jones – ‘Brave and courageous.’
Luke Shaw – ‘Pace and power. You can see how hard he’s working in training.’
Chris Smalling – ‘He’s the voice at the back – even in training.’
Antonio Valencia – ‘I think it’s consistency with him. If you see the games he’s played this season, every game is an eight out of 10.’
Ander Herrera – ‘He will do everything to win the game; get around the field, win tackles and still has that composure to play well.’
Juan Mata – ‘Magical Mata. A wand of a left foot.’
Paul Pogba – ‘Octopus. You can’t get the ball off him. He actually grows an extra leg.’
Bastian Schweinsteiger – ‘Legend. He’s won pretty much everything in the game so that stays legendary. He’s a great guy to have around the changing room as well.’
Ashley Young – ‘He just gets on with it with no moaning, any position, he wants to play for United and will play it.’
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – ‘God, ain’t it?’
Wayne Rooney – ‘Legend. That’s the only word you can use to describe him.’
Marcus Rashford – ‘I’m trying to think who that is?! I think… wonder kid. You can’t score on every debut [laughs]. Who does that, man, it’s not normal?’
