Legend sings praises of young star

Manchester United legend Phil Neville has highlighted the talents of young star Marcus Rashford, and has claimed that the 18-year-old must be starting for the team.

Rashford had a positive affect on the team last night when he came on in United’s 3-1 win over Northampton. With the score 1-1 at the time he was introduced, United went on to continue dominating the game, and Rashford got the 3rd goal by chasing down a lost cause and causing goalkeeper Adam Smith to make a mistake and gift the striker a tap-in.

Rashford has now scored on his European, Premier League, League Cup and England (senior and U21) debuts and has been involved in more goals in all competitions than any other United player since his debut last season (11 goals, 3 assists).

“This kid is special,” said Neville.

“He has to start [against Leicester] – when a young lad is in such good form you’ve got to let them fly. You’ve just got pick him. It puts others under pressure, but this kid is special and he’s scoring goals.

“The biggest quality he’s got is his temperament. To play for Manchester United is not easy, especially at a young age. He’s making it look easy – he’s getting quicker, he’s getting stronger and the relationship between him and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is going to be special.”
