Ryan Giggs names which Manchester United legend would be a perfect Marcus Rashford foil

Ryan Giggs has claimed Manchester United legend Eric Cantona would be a perfect foil for Marcus Rashford during the discussion with the England international. Giggs has made his debut in 1991 as a 17-year-old, while Rashford was 18 when making his first appearance for the Red Devils, with Giggs as the assistant manager of the club. In a discussion on B/R Football, Rashford asked Giggs what it was like to play alongside Cantona, to which the former Red Devils player answered: "He was just different. You see him there, look how big he is. People don’t realise how big and strong he was. He was like a target man but also he had them little touches." Giggs also explained Rashford how his pace would have been a perfect complement to Cantona’s distribution. "For you he would have been a dream. Because you know when you make those runs, he would always find you, and you wouldn’t have to break stride. You know sometimes in a game, you make runs, you make runs, but no-one’s finding you? As soon as he got the ball, he wasn’t interested in scoring – he wanted to score – but he got as much pleasure out of making assists. He was brilliant to play with. Just the way that he trained. You must have seen coming up to the first team, players you’ve looked up to, training hard. You watch them and how they train and conduct themselves," he added.
