When asked about adapting to the Spanish language and culture, Rashford disclosed that his teammates have taken to calling him by a particular Catalan word during moments of camaraderie in the dressing room. 'When they're having fun among themselves inside the locker room, they call me 'chuche'... I don't know what it means, but it's funny when they say it,'Rashford revealed.
