Marcus Rashford: Man United players can learn from Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Marcus Rashford is hoping the presence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Manchester United can help take his own game to the next level.

Rashford, 18, broke through at United last season, scoring four goals in his opening two games and going on to finish with eight in 18 appearances.

The England international reckons all of United's squad can learn from Ibrahimovic, a player who has won major honours in the Eredivisie, Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1.

"We can definitely all learn from him while he is here, so we all need to take that chance," Rashford told Manchester United's official website. "It's a massive help to be with him every day and it's great to see what he is like on and off the pitch.

"There is a lot to learn from him and hopefully I can bring some of his game into mine."

The arrival of Ibrahimovic could potentially limit Rashford's playing time at United but he is focused on preparations for the campaign ahead.

"I'm preparing for the new season now," he said. "There's no need to rush into anything -- I'm taking my time, taking it steady."
