Wayne Rooney: 'Marcus Rashford will be a superstar'

Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney hails Marcus Rashford as "one of the most exciting players in world football".

Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney has described Marcus Rashford as "one of the most exciting players in world football".

Rashford burst onto the scene in February of this year after he was drafted into the United first team as an emergency injury replacement, and his form in the closing months of last season earned him a place in England's Euro 2016 squad.

Having been left out of Sam Allardyce's one and only England squad, Rashford has returned under interim boss Gareth Southgate and Rooney has backed the 18-year-old to go on and become a "superstar".

"I think Marcus is doing fantastic. He is probably one of the most exciting players in world football, young players, at the minute. I am sure if he keeps working hard and developing he'll be a superstar in years to come," he told reporters.

"It's important with exciting young players that they get the rewards they deserve and I think he deserves it. He's been fantastic since he got into the Manchester United squad and he's carried that on again this season so he fully deserves his chance to be in the squad and to play. And I'm sure if he does that he will take his opportunity."

Rashford has so far scored one goal in three appearances for England.
