Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has his toughest ever opponent in a new interview.
Rashford recently signed a new long-term contract with United, committing him to the club until the summer of 2028.
The England international has been playing in the Premier League for seven-and-a-half years, during which time he has faced some of the best players in world football.

Rashford has often played as a centre forward for United, a role he filled last year amid the unavailability of other players or a lack of options for manager Erik ten Hag.
But he has primarily played as a left-sided attacker for the club, pitting him up against opposition full-backs in a one-on-one battle.
And in a new interview with United legend Gary Neville on The Overlap, Rashford explained why a fellow Premier League star is the toughest player he has ever played against.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Rashford declared that Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker is the hardest opponent he has ever played against in his career.
Walker is known for his incredible athleticism and recovery runs defensively, as well as his strength in pushing opposition attackers off the ball.
And Rashford alluded to those reasons, as well as others, as to why Walker is the best he has faced.

He explained: "His physical capabilities are just unbelievable. It's always going to be a tough day [against him].

"You have to try and catch him off guard or get him in the wrong positions, but even then, he can recover. It's always a difficult game against him.
"I just try and drift into places where he can't drift, or where he has to pass me on into. And when he does pass me on, I just pull back a little bit, away from the defensive midfielder or wherever it is."
