Jordan insists Man Utd striker Rashford not world class

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan insists Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford isn't world class.

Jordon has suggested that despite Marcus Rashford's brilliant run in front of goal should not see him labeled as 'world class'.

He told talkSPORT: "Rashford is in a ridiculous vein of form.

"What I've always pushed back against is the characterisation that he is a world class player and he's in an elite position."

“A body of work and a constant level of containment puts you above everybody else.

"At this moment in time, while Marcus Rashford's form is extraordinary good, I think it's a bit silly to call him world class."
