Ben White calls Marcus Rashford the toughest Premier League attacker he has faced
The Arsenal defender’s assessment was reported by Yahoo Sports alongside praise for Rashford’s movement, defensive work and chance creation.
Arsenal defender Ben White has named Marcus Rashford as the toughest attacker he has faced in the Premier League, according to Yahoo Sports.
White reportedly made the assessment while speaking to Men In Blazers. His comments were published alongside discussion of Rashford’s improved performances and broader contribution for Manchester United.
Rashford returned to Manchester United after a loan spell at Barcelona. The supplied report said manager Michael Carrick compared his return with having a new signing.
The report credited Rashford with sharper movement, quicker runs into space and greater defensive involvement, while also describing him as more focused on creating chances for teammates. It said he had created the fourth-most chances in the league this season, although no complete statistical source was provided.
White’s view is a personal assessment rather than an objective ranking. The report also said White had not faced Rashford since his return from Barcelona, leaving the full context of the comparison unclear.
Rashford was reported to be 11 goals short of 100 Premier League goals and 12 short of 150 goals for Manchester United in all competitions.
