Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford took part in a Q&A session on the club’s official Twitter account, and shared who his toughest opponent has been since he made his debut for the senior side in February of this year.

The 18-year-old has taken the league by storm, scoring eight goals in 16 league appearances for the Red Devils.

What has been more impressive though, is the games in which he has scored.

Two goals on his home debut against Arsenal was impressive enough in itself, but he then went on to score the winner for United at the Etihad in the Manchester derby in March.

Ironically, it was an Arsenal player who Rashford chose as his toughest opponent, during a live Q&A session on the club’s official Twitter page:

The 18-year-old has only started three league games for Jose Mourinho’s men this term, but has still managed to score three goals.

With the arrival of superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic over the summer, it was always going to be harder for Rashford to make as many starts as he would like, but he will surely learn from the Swedish magician, and in doing so, become an even better player.
