Man Utd captain Maguire: Rashford most talented player I've ever played with

Harry Maguire says Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford is the most talented player he has played with.

Maguire spent two years at Leicester City before joining United last summer and has been an important figure for the England national team in recent years.

And the United captain thinks Rashford ranks above all his past and current teammates.

"I've always spoke so highly of Marcus when I was with him at England. I can't speak highly enough of him. I think he's going to go on to have an exceptional career," Maguire told the Official Manchester United Podcast.

"I think as a club, you should have a captain and rely on him but you need to spread the onus of the leadership in the group. Marcus is there and he battles through every game, obviously he's missing through a bad injury at the moment but he's battling hard to get back and he's very rarely missing games.

"He's always wanting to make himself available. I think you can see around the place and on and off the field as well, he's excellent with his charity work, which is great to see.

"On the pitch, like I said, he's amazed me. He's the most talented player I've ever played with and I'm sure he's going to be a wonderful player for this club."
