Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs says Louis van Gaal had no hesitation giving Marcus Rashford his debut last season.
Rashford made an instant impact scoring twice in the 5-1 Europa League win over FC Midtjylland.
Giggs told the Daily Telegraph: "Marcus is a great talent and I can remember watching him play in an Under-21s against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium shortly before the Midtjylland game in February.
"At half-time I had some hard words with the boys because I felt they were below par but Marcus had stood out even then.
"A couple of days later Louis van Gaal and I watched him in first team training and you could see in glimpses then – the way he took a player on, the little flashes of skill - that this was a boy who was ready to go.
"Of course, the night itself at Old Trafford he just took that chance himself but what he had done before meant there was no hesitation about putting him in the first team when Anthony Martial was injured.
"That was a great example of a young player seizing his opportunity and then breaking into the England squad for Euro 2016 too, but there is no harm 10 months later to going back to the basics and making sure you feel right.
"Like good all teenage players, Marcus has time on his side."
