Erik ten Hag has claimed that Marcus Rashford is one of the best forwards in the world.

Manchester United secured all three points from the Sunday encounter with Leeds after a back-and-forth match.

The Red Devils managed to score in the 80th minute through a bullet header from Marcus Rashford before Alejandro Garnacho sealed the victory minutes later.

The English winger has now scored 8 goals in 9 games this season and has been in red-hot form since returning from the World Cup with England.

His manager believes that he is currently one of the best in the world.

‘He’s definitely one of them,’ said the Dutch boss.

‘I was convinced from the first moment, I was really excited to work with him. I thought I could get more out of him.

‘But he has so many skills and such high potential and there can be even more. When he works well he will score even more goals because he can score with his left foot, right foot and his head.

‘You asked me in August and September, “do you think you have a player in your squad who can score 20 goals”, and I confirmed that I thought he can do that.

‘Now, if you are satisfied with it then it will stop. Because satisfaction goes to laziness, you have to keep investing every day. When he keeps the investment and keeps the focus in every game and brings the energy and the belief, he will keep scoring.

‘So then I don’t know when it will stop, but it has to go from game to game, and during the week do the right things.

‘I think as a manager, as a coaching staff, we have to push him but finally it comes from the player. When he loses focus, the scoring will stop, clear.’
