Man Utd striker Rashford admits studying Cavani game

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is full of praise for senior teammate Edinson Cavani.

Cavani is expected to start tonight's Europa League final against Villarreal.

Rashford said, “His movement in the box is just so focused. If there is a cross coming in, he knows where he needs to end up as the ball is going into the box. It doesn't come off every time, but he is always roughly in and around the right areas and, If there is something I need for my game, in terms of playing as a centre-forward or a winger, it's being in the right place at the right time.

“He's always on the move in the box; he never stands still. As soon as he sees a weakness, he's relentless with it. He'll do it time and time again. There aren't many that have been better than him over the duration of his career. If you look at the age of him, 34, the fact that he can still do it in the Premier League is remarkable.

"And I'm definitely delighted that he's going to be here for longer as well, so hopefully we'll manage to win trophies together."
