Man Utd ace Rashford: Courtois' swipe at Pickford?

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has jumped to the defence of England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.

Rashford has defended Everton No1 Pickford by dismissing claims made by Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois over the Everton shot-stopper's height.

Rashford said: "I've not seen what [Courtois] said, but my side of it is that the way he performs and his body, he's adapted everything to the way he is, physically.

"He's got himself this far, so I don't think you can really say that about him.

"He's a top keeper and there have been plenty of top keepers who have been considered not to be quite big enough compared to other keepers - but it doesn't really hold them back."
