Rashford praises Man City stars

Surprisingly, the two crowns belong to two Man City stars, with the United ace naming Kyle Walker as the player who gives him the most problems.

"I would probably say Kyle Walker," Rashford told Old Trafford legend, Gary Neville when posed the question in an interview on The Overlap.

The 25-year-old reserved special praise for Erling Haaland, who he declared as the best in the league.

"Last season it was definitely Haaland," Rashford said when asked to name the best player in the Premier League.
"But over the last four or five years it’s [Kevin] De Bruyne, 100%," he added.
