Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has named the two most talented team-mates he has played with during his career.
After a challenging start to life at Old Trafford, where he went 14 Premier League games without a goal, Hojlund has now found his goalscoring touch.
The 21-year-old has scored in each of his last five matches in all competitions, including a close-range finish in United's 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

And following his £64 million move from Atalanta, Hojlund is starting to prove why he was so coveted by United boss Erik ten Hag.
Hojlund had a number of previous clubs before arriving at Atalanta, including Austrian side Sturm Graz and Danish giants Copenhagen - the latter of whom played a key role in knocking United out of the Champions League earlier this season.
But the Dane has gone with two United stars as the most talented players he has ever played alongside.

He was asked the question by JD Sports, before replying: "Like in terms of ability? Probably Marcus [Rashford] or Bruno [Fernandes]."
It may not come as a surprise as to who he picked, with Rashford and Fernandes having been two of the side's key players for several years, and under various managers.
Fernandes is United's captain, having been appointed to the role in the summer by Ten Hag,

Rashford and Hojlund have begun to form an effective attacking partnership in recent weeks, with Hojlund providing two assists for his team-mate.
And the England international praised his counterpart's abilities as far back as September.
Rashford told Premier League Productions: "I'm sure it is a relationship that will help both players, so I am excited for it, excited for the future, and I am also so excited that we have so many games coming up because we have so many opportunities to show who we are."
