Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin praises Marcus Rashford's "great talent".

Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has backed Marcus Rashford to become a "top player" after making a positive impression following his senior debut in February.

The 18-year-old has made eight appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals, the most recent of which was the winner in Sunday's derby against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

"It is amazing what has happened with him since he made his debut," Schneiderlin told MUTV. "He is a great talent, it is not just about the goals he is scoring, it is about all his game.

"He will make some progress in the future as well and he will be a top, top player."

The teenager joined United's academy from Fletcher Moss Rangers in 2005.
