Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund says he's happy working with Marcus Rashford.

However, the Dane insists reports of 'secret training' with Rashford is wrong.

Hojlund said: "I think it's a bad translation, because we haven't had training sessions. We have only talked at training sessions, where we have tried to find each other's patterns.

"It could be that, if we play a build-up game, they say that if you fall down, I will run deep and such. It's just very basic relationships.

"I really like playing with him. I think he is a world-class footballer, and I enjoy playing with a player like him."

He admits that it's a bit surreal now even training with Rashford.

"Yes, yes, 100 percent. He's a player I've looked up to, even though he's only a few years older than me.

"He has done well since he came up and scored against Midtjylland that time (Rashford's debut in a Europa League match against FCM in 2016, ed.).

-"He has been a great player ever since, and of course it is great that we are teammates today."
