Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford has named three players he feels could win the 2025 Ballon d’Or award.
Rashford, who is currently on a season-long loan at Barcelona, has included two of his new teammates.
Apart from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, the England international has picked Ousmane Dembele as another player who deserves to be crowned the best in the world.
“[Ousmane] Dembélé, Raphinha, they all deserve it,” Rashford said.
“It’s hard to pick one, but they’re all mature and have had a fantastic season.
“Lamine is so young that he is sure to win it. He’s a top talent, a top player.”
The trio of Dembele, Yamal and Raphinha all made the 30-man nominee shortlist for this year’s Ballon d’Or.
