Trent Alexander-Arnold insists Marcus Rashford has always carried a similar threat through barren spells and purple patches.
The England duo will provide one of the key battles on Sunday afternoon as Manchester United face Liverpool at Anfield. Erik ten Hag's men can strengthen their hold on a top-four place, following defeats for both Newcastle and Tottenham on Sunday, but face a side who have won three of their last four in the league at a ground they haven't won at since 2016.
Any success for United will rely heavily on Rashford, with the forward's 25 goals across all competitions more than three times anyone else in red. Alexander-Arnold has often been criticised for his defending and the right-back has the unenviable task of managing one of Europe's most in form players come 4.30pm.
