Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford has explained how he has benefitted from playing alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Rashford has largely had to play a peripheral role for Manchester United this season due to the presence of Ibrahimovic and the young striker has been shifted out wide on many occasions in order to accommodate the veteran Swede.

Despite being forced to play in an unnatural position, Rashford has no complaints and has explained that he has actually benefitted from playing alongside Ibrahimovic.

Rashford told the Telegraph: “You will see the benefits in years to come. What I have learnt from [Ibrahimovic] is irreplaceable.

“I didn't feel uncomfortable in the wide role [initially], but when something is different it takes a while to get used to it. For me the development has been going great all the way through."
