Alderweireld has received a lot of praise for his defending this season, especially in the manner in which he utilises his physique to hustle strikers. Against Rashford, he will have to deal with someone with loads of pace, confidence, and an exceptional ball control. The United academy graduate has a nac for popping up on the biggest occasions, as he showed with a brace against Arsenal a couple of weeks back. Injuries to Rooney and Will Keane and 5 goals in 9 games means he is United’s key man up front now, and this will be another key duel to look forward to.
