Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has lauded Manchester United counterpart Marcus Rashford as a "wonderfully gifted" player.

The England teammates will go head to head at Old Trafford on Sunday.

"Knowing that he's [Rashford] a good player and knowing how to stop him are two very different things," Mings told Sky Sports.

"He's a fantastic talent - you saw his goal against Chelsea [a stunning free-kick in the Carabao Cup] - and a player who can produce moments of magic.

"Coming on for England - his goal against Kosovo - he's a wonderfully gifted player.

"I think we'll all have our work cut out on Sunday as a back four but we'll be looking to back up our most recent clean sheet with another one."
