Marcus Rashford hoping to learn from teammate Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Marcus Rashford admits that being around superstar forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the training ground is a "massive help" for his own development.

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has insisted that he will look to take aspects from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's game in order to improve his own.

The youngster burst onto the scene last season when scoring four goals in his first two senior appearances and eight in 18 overall.

Rashford's form earned him a place in England's Euro 2016 squad this summer, but he is under no illusion that his spot in the United fold is nailed down at this early stage of his career, particularly with Ibrahimovic now also competing for a starting berth.

"We can definitely all learn from [Ibrahimovic] while he is here, so we all need to take that chance," the 18-year-old told the club'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.

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

Rashford was introduced for the second half of United's 5-2 victory over Galatasaray on Saturday evening - a match that saw Ibrahimovic get off the mark with a goal on his debut.
