'He's as good as anyone in the world': Nicky Butt heaps praise on red-hot Marcus Rashford and admits it was obvious the Man United striker would be a star as he helped him through the ranks at Old Trafford

Marcus Rashford has been labelled one of the best forwards in the world by Nicky Butt, the coach who watched him come through the ranks at Manchester United.

Rashford is on an incredible scoring streak for Erik ten Hag's United, having found the net 17 times since the World Cup ended at the back end of December.

Now former United treble winner Butt – in charge of the Old Trafford academy when Rashford burst on to the scene in February 2016 – believes the 25-year-old has the world at his feet.
