World Cup 2018: Manchester United's Ashley Young backs team-mate Marcus Rashford to be major player for England

Ashley Young feels his Manchester United team-mate Marcus Rashford has the potential to 'set the world alight' and is sure the forward will be a 'major player' for England at this summer's World Cup.

Young has also expressed his confidence in the entire squad in terms of the Three Lions 'going there to try to win' the tournament in Russia.

While Rashford, 20, has been in and out of the United starting line-up under Jose Mourinho, he scored 13 goals for the club last season to take him to a total of 32 in all competitions since being handed his Red Devils first-team debut by Louis van Gaal in February 2016.
