In an interview with Spanish journalist Gerard Romero, Cucurella believes Rashford has the abilty to be a success at his former club.

“Good, Good. I like him (Rashford),” Cucurella said. “Physically, I think he’ll do very well in La Liga. He’s very fast and the pace of the leagues is very different. He’s coming off always playing there (Premier League), he’s used to it.”

“Here (La Liga), I think he’ll notice that the pace is a little bit inferior to the Premier League, so I think he can do a lot of good work.”

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, Rashford, 27, has already put pen to paper on his contract with the La Liga champions.
