Gary Neville talks up Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Marcus Rashford pairing

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville backs Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford to form a successful partnership for the 20-time English champions.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has backed Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford to form a devastating strike partnership for the 20-time English champions.

Ibrahimovic has started his Man United career with five goals in nine appearances, while Rashford has netted four times in seven appearances at the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

Rashford has primarily operated in a wide position under Jose Mourinho this term, but Neville believes that the 18-year-old could eventually line up alongside Ibrahimovic in a front two.

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rashford seem to be a fit," he told Sky Sports News. "Ibrahimovic is clever enough to find the runs of Rashford. Rashford is clever. He isn't just a runner and a finisher. Those two could eventually end up playing together."

Man United will return to Europa League action at home to Zorya Luhansk on Thursday night.
