His he as Good as Mbappe and Dembele
Marcus Rashford as good as Kylian Mbappe
and Ousmane Dembele, says Phil Neville
Phil Neville believes
Marcus Rashford can be world class and is as good as Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane
Dembele.
Rashford
scored twice and set up another as Manchester
United eased to a 4-1 win over Burton on Wednesday night to
send them through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
The 19-year-old scored in
the cup holders' first attack with a delicate chip on five minutes before
doubling his tally 12 minutes later with a fierce 20-yard drive. He also set up
Anthony Martial for United's fourth goal.
After putting in such a
fine performance, the former United defender Neville believes he is on the same
level as PSG's Mbappe and Barcelona's £96m summer signing Dembele.
"Everybody
praises Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe but nobody talks about Rashford in
this country," Neville told Sky Sports after the match.
"Because he's English
we just say 'he plays on the left wing, he's OK'. He is up there with Dembele
and Mbappe, who also play on either wing. People say you have to play Rashford
as a centre-forward but you can play him anywhere because he is good enough.
"Rashford is in the
same bracket as those two - £100m-£150m players - he is every bit as good as
those two and can be in the future because he is improving every season.
"He broke in under
Louis van Gaal and set the world on fire, in his second season under Jose
Mourinho everyone thought he wouldn't play but he did in all the big games. Now
he is adding goals to his game and he can be absolutely world class."
