Published on: 13 October 2016

Marcus Rashford has named Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny as the toughest opponent he's faced in football.


Despite scoring twice against the Gunners on his Premier League debut in a 3-2 win, Rashford still believes the French centre-half is the most formidable foe he has come up against so far.

Speaking in a feature with the club'sofficial website,Rashford said when asked who his toughest opponent was: "I think, individually, it would be Laurent Koscielny at Arsenal. He was a difficult defender to play against."


Koscielny has been at the Emirates since his move from his nativeFrance in 2010 and has gone on to make 255 appearances. He was also part of the French side that came runners-up in this summer's European Championships.

Rashford has become a sensation at Old Trafford since his goalscoring debut in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland and has since gone from strength to strength.


He has scored on both his England U21 debut and his debut with the senior side and travelled with England to Euro 2016.
