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.

"It's really important to get that first win together as a group. It's great for us in the build-up to the season. The manager wasn't concerned with United being 2-1 down at the break and just told us to push and close the space, something we did really well in the second half.
"There's a lot of optimism, as that is only our second pre-season game as a full squad. It was the first game for some players. It is very exciting for both fans and players."
