Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold: Rashford bringing excitement to England

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has hailed the World Cup form of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.

Rashford is England's top scorer at the tournament.

"Excitement," Alexander-Arnold told talkSPORT when asked what Rashford brings. “That's the first thing, when he steps on the pitch, the first you think is that he is going to use his pace, his speed to get in behind to get at people. He's skilful, he can score and create.

"As defenders, you don't want to play against him because you're worried about what he is going to do. If he's going to score, if he's going to create, so to have him on our team, you know what defenders are thinking.

"He's an outstanding player. He's underrated, I think he's someone who can win games for club and country – he's shown that before and I'm sure will continue to do that. He's also someone that can help us win this tournament."
