Wan-Bissaka reveals how Rashford has helped his development

Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has named Marcus Rashford as his toughest opponent in training and credited the England international with helping his development.

Wan-Bissaka joined United in a £50m deal last summer and has since forged a reputation as one of the Premier League's best one-on-one defenders.

However, the former Crystal Palace man has admitted that Rashford is a particularly difficult opponent to face due to his unpredictability.

When asked for his toughest opponent in training, Wan-Bissaka told the club's official website: "I'd say Marcus, yeah. He's just so unpredictable. When I first joined United and came up against him in training, he was doing things that I just really didn't expect.

"I thought he'd go a certain way and he'd go the other way, or I thought he was about to do one thing and he did another, so he's really tricky to play against.

"I enjoy that though; it's been really good for my own development to test myself against him and the other attackers we have at the club."

Wan-Bissaka has made 34 appearances across all competitions during his debut season for United.
