Southampton winger Nathan Redmond has told talkSPORT that Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford’s finishing is incredible.

Rashford is one of the best young strikers in the Premier League and has been in good form so far this season.

The 18-year-old has scored one goal and created one chance in one league appearance for United so far this campaign.

The teenager also scored a hat-trick for the England Under-21 side against their Norwegian counterparts in a 6-1 win in Colchester on Tuesday.

Redmond, who is 22 years of age and is part of the England Under-21 set-up, has praised Rashford.

The former Birmingham City and Norwich City winger has stated that the United youngster’s finishing is as good as that of Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane and West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino.

Kane, who is 23 years of age and is now part of the England senior team, scored eight goals in 14 appearances for the Young Lions.

Berahino, who is also 23 years of age, scored 10 goals in 11 matches for the England Under-21 team.

“Marcus has direct pace and his finishing is up there with some of the best I’ve seen for the England Under-21s,” Redmond told talkSPORT.

“He is the same as Harry Kane and Saido Berahino – their finishing was incredible and Marcus is the same.”

United will take on city rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
