Man Utd striker Rashford: Honour to work with Giggs and Rooney

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford says that getting to work with the likes of Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney was a true honor.

Rashford grew up a United fan and got to emerge in the first team from their youth setup under Louis Van Gaal.

Since then, he has gone on to become a key player, but he will always remember his early interactions with the likes of Giggs and Rooney.

"To get the opportunity to play with him was an unbelievable experience and it was just the little things he did for our games that makes him a special player," Rashford said of Rooney to Bleacher Report.

I was watching him quite closely. It's just the way he transitions between the positions like it's nothing. That's what makes him a world class player."

"Rooney. Or maybe Giggs when I first came in and he was coaching under [Louis] van Gaal," added Rashford when asked who left the biggest impression on him.

"He [Giggs] helped me a lot with what he used to say to me.

"But on the pitch, Rooney. You learn a lot when people speak to you but more when you're on the pitch with them."
