Liverpool right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has named Manchester United's Marcus Rashford as the toughest opponent he has ever faced, specifically recalling the pair's meeting in March 2018.
At that time, Alexander-Arnold had only recently established himself as the first-choice starter, but his confidence was left in tatters after Rashford capitalised on his inexperience to net twice in the opening 25 minutes of the game, which United won 2-1.
Speaking to The Athletic, Alexander-Arnold confessed that it was the toughest challenge of his career, but he learned from it and used it as inspiration to improve.
