Rashford is special and Man Utd forward can be as good as Mbappe

The Red Devils forward continues to shine in a central striking role and is being backed to become as productive as a World Cup winner at PSG. 

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is “a special, special player”, says Phil Neville, with the England international capable of being mentioned “in the same breath as Kylian Mbappe”.

In a matter of weeks, the 21-year-old has gone from seeing his future at Old Trafford called into question to becoming a talismanic presence in the Red Devils side.

That reversal in fortune has coincided with a managerial change, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer displaying the faith in Rashford that predecessor Jose Mourinho lacked.

Under the Portuguese, a highly-rated talent was either shifted out to the flanks or left on the bench, while the man currently at the helm has used him as a central striker.
