Wigan Athletic boss Warren Joyce has spoken of working with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford.

Joyce worked with Rashford as United youth coach.

And ahead of their FA Cup tie, he told The Sun: “There are certain tick boxes for the X factor players. Some — like Pogba — tick every box.

“The more x's in those boxes the more difficult it is to reach the very top. But Marcus is in that same category as Pogba.

“He's a good footballer as well as a goalscorer. He's clever, he's tough, he's quick.

“You could stick players like them in all sorts of situations. They can almost play anywhere on the pitch.

“They can run, tackle, head it, they can score, pass it, dribble, they can keep ball. And they have the big hearts."
