Marcus Rashford ready to learn from 'winner' Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Monday 10 October 2016 11:07, UK
Marcus Rashford believes Manchester United's young players can learn a lot from Zlatan Ibrahimovic's winning mentality.
Rashford is 17 years Ibrahimovic's junior but is only a goal behind the Swedish striker in the season's scoring stakes, having notched five to the Swede's six.
Ibrahimovic was a senior professional with Malmo before Rashford was born in 1996 and Old Trafford's teenage sensation is hoping he - and the club's other young players - can learn from the squad's veterans.

"It has been amazing," said Rashford. "We've got a lot of world-class players in the team, especially in the forwards like Zlatan and Wayne. For the young lads, we can't ask for anything better.
"The likes of me, Anthony and Jesse - watching these forwards play and how they train, their mentality, is so important.
"You can't ask for more. Zlatan is very easy to speak to and he's easy to get along with. The way he approaches every game is about winning.
"He wants to win, regardless of the opponent, whether we are home or away, whatever the odds, he always wants to find a way to win.
"That mentality is what you need to be at the top level. That is where he is and where he has been for years."
