Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker has claimed that Marcus Rashford "wouldn't stand a chance" against Luke Ayling if he played on the same side as the Leeds United defender.
Leeds and Man United take part in their second Premier League clash in the space of four days when the two sides meet at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon. A sensational goal from Willy Gnonto after just 55 seconds was the pick of the action as both teams took home a point.
The Whites will be hoping that an Elland Road home advantage can help them push for all three points but know that it will not be easy against an in-form Man United side. Rashford is the top scorer for Erik ten Hag's side this season and added to his tally during the second-half on Wednesday night.

But former Red Devil Parker has revealed that he was far from impressed with Rashford during the match, claiming that if he had played on his favoured left-hand side, Ayling would have kept him quiet.
“Rashford was really having a tough time against Leeds," Parker told Apostagolos. "I'm so disappointed by what I'm seeing from him. And now people are talking about him because he scored a goal. He would have been the villain but now he ends up being the hero which is totally wrong.
“But I think it was very good that he didn't play on the left side because he would have been even worse if he was going to face Luke Ayling who is very underrated. Marcus Rashford wouldn't stand a chance against him, so I don 't know what Erik ten Hag is going to do at Elland Road.
"That goal was luck," Parker added when asked about Rashford's strike against Leeds. "Diogo Dalot closed his eyes and wrote 'luck' on the ball before he crossed it.
"Luckily Rashford was there to head it in but that was the only good thing he did at that game.”
