Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford says he has a lot to learn from new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic scored with a bicycle kick just four minutes into his debut for the club, Saturday’s 5-2 win over Galatasaray in Gothenburg.

Rashford burst onto the scene last season, making a huge impact in the Premier League which led to his surprise inclusion in the England squad for Euro 2016.

And the youngster says he expects to learn a great deal from 34-year-old superstar Ibrahimovic.

“We can definitely all learn from him while he is here, so we all need to take that chance,” Rashford told United’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.”

Rashford came off the bench at half-time in Sweden and won the penalty which was scored by captain Wayne Rooney and put United 3-2 up.
