Arsenal defender Rob Holding says he holds no grudge against Marcus Rashford.

Holding has revealed how Manchester United striker Rashford messaged him to apologise for causing his long-term injury.

Holding ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and was ruled out for the remainder of the 2018/19 season after a coming together with Rashford at Old Trafford in December 2018.

"Marcus text me when the [extent of the] injury came out," Holding told Arsenal's website.

"He just dropped me a text and just said, 'Hi mate, sorry to hear about the injury, I didn't mean it in any malicious way'.

"I didn't take it as a personal attack on me, it's just football. I just replied to him like, 'Yeah mate, don't worry about it, it's football, you didn't even make a tackle, you just sort of ran into me, there's nothing in it, I'm not going to be judging you off that'."
