MARCUS RASHFORD has outshone Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal in a key metric this season.
The Manchester United star is winning the plaudits on loan at Barcelona.
He has settled into life in Spain and his beginning to produce his best form once again.
Rashford, 28, struggled at United under Ruben Amorim before leaving the club in January, on loan to Aston Villa.
He showed glimpses of his quality at Villa Park, particularly in the Champions League, but at Barca he has really been able to shine.
And he is now the leading assist maker in LaLiga, with five.

The England star has scored six goals in all competitions and has nine assists, nailing down a starting berth in Hansi Flick‘s side.

He said: “I feel like I’ve been in an inconsistent environment for a very, very long time.
“So it’s even more difficult to be consistent. I think consistency is what I need to bring into my game and I’m looking to do that.
“Obviously, I want to be at my best, not sometimes, but as often as possible.
“When people talk about consistency, in order to be consistent in anything, not just sports, you need consistent variables like in your life.
“And in the way you train, and we’ve just had so many changes so far in my career.
“But, like I said, I have to look forward, and that’s definitely one of the things that I’d want to put right and improve on, to be at my best more often.
“Because when I’m at my best, I really enjoy everything about the sport, so, yeah, being there is a special thing for me.”
