Blackburn Rovers hero Steven Reid is a big fan of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.

Today's FA Cup Fifth-Round clash is the first meeting between the sides since Rovers were relegated from the top flight in 2012.

Of Rashford, Reid, now a coach at Reading, told the Daily Star: “The boy is pure class. He never stops running, either looking for the ball in behind defenders or by dragging them wide out of position.

“He's one of those forwards who turns bad passes into good ones, who leaves the pitch with the knowledge he has given everything for the team. He's a breath of fresh air, the best I've seen in years. He reminds me of a young Wayne Rooney."
