England starlet Marcus Rashford is eager to show Jose Mourinho what he is capable of during Manchester United's pre-season tour of China.

'It means a lot to be going,' he told the club's official website. 'It's an opportunity to show the manager what you've got and you have to take the opportunity when it comes.

'It would be a massive experience especially with the players that could be going as well. I've got a lot I can learn from them.'

United will play Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City during the tour this month, before returning home for Wayne Rooney's testimonial ahead of the new season.

And Rashford is excited to be a part of the trip to the Far East - where United have a huge fanbase - ahead of his first full season with the side.

'It's crazy to see their support. The conditions can be difficult to play in as we witnessed in the tournament we were in back then but we got through it and it was a really good experience.'

'First and foremost a lot of touches of the ball. The training part of the tour is a big thing and getting used to the players and the personalities. I'm really looking forward to it.'
