Former Tottenham striker Lineker was following the match, and he was impressed with the performance of Rashford.

Rashford is one of the best young forwards in entire Europe and could prove to be one of the best players in United history in the coming years.

The teenager is hugely talent and has a lot of potential, and if he gets to play regularly, then he is only going to improve.

The 19-year-old scored five goals and created 19 chances in 29 Premier League appearances for United so far this season.
