Marcus Rashford has revealed that Laurent Koscielny is the toughest defender he has played against.
The Manchester United starlet has troubled opponents with all sorts of bother with his searing pace and directness since bursting onto the scene last season.
But he has named France international Koscielny, an often underrated centre-back, as the best he has faced when asked by the Inside United magazine.
“Laurent Koscielny at Arsenal," said the teenager.
"He was a difficult defender to play against.”
Marcus Rashford reveals Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is the best defender he has faced
"You don’t go through a game of football without having a knock. I don’t think I have done that for years! It does toughen you up.
"When you get the first knock it kind of wakes you up, you know they are men and it is not like Under-18s when you can take loads of knocks and know you will be fine, that you won’t feel anything after the game.
"You definitely get harder knocks but it helps. You just get up and get on with the game, and then you can give it to them back.
"It is important and when you are young I think you need those types of game."
