The 30-year-old former Everton striker praised Rashford’s attitude and work rate, and commended how his has managed to carry on his impressive form from last season in the new campaign.
Rashford came off the bench to score United’s third goal in their 3-1 EFL Cup win over Northampton Town on Wednesday night, helping the Red Devils progress to the fourth round, where they will face rivals Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at Old Trafford on 26 October.
The tie against the Cobblers was Rashford’s first appearance in the newly rebranded EFL Cup, meaning that he has kept up his impressive record of goal scoring debuts.
The youngster has now managed to net on his first outing in the Premier League, Europa League and EFL Cup, as well as for England at both senior and under-21 level.
