Hargreaves: What a superstar Man Utd kid Rashford is going to be!

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is destined to be a bona fide star of the game.

That is the opinion of Owen Hargreaves who watched the 19-year-old score a composed extra-time winner in United's 2-1 Europa League quarter-final second leg victory over Anderlecht.

The goal saw United through to the semi-finals of the competition with a 3-2 aggregate and prompted words of high praise from Hargreaves.

"What a superstar this kid is going to be," Hargreaves said on BT Sport.

"The touch to set this goal up is stunning.

"The take, the little Cruyff is brilliant.

"Absolutely brilliant, the touch and the finish. He was cool and composed.

"That touch was amazing. He's shown everything that he's going to be one of the best.

"Everyone said he'd be the future. He's the now."
