‘Man United Rashford Is Better Than €180m Mbappe, €105m Dembele’- Gary Neville
Former Manchester United and Liverpool defender, Phil Neville believes that Manchester United teenage striker, Marcus Rashford deserves to be in discussions in the same level alongside PSG’s Kylian Mbappe and Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
According to Neville, Rashford, who scored twice to lead the reigning EFL Cup champions to a 4-1 win over Burton Albion at Old Trafford on Wednesday, deserved praise.
“Everybody praises Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe but nobody talks about Rashford in this country,” Neville told Sky Sports.
“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.
Neville said, “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 said, “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.”
