Man Utd captain Maguire: Rashford now developing into world class talent

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire says Marcus Rashford is developing into a world class talent.

Rashford is the joint-top scorer at the World Cup with three goals so far, and he has also done well for club side Manchester United after a difficult period.

Maguireb praised his team-mate for playing with a smile on his face again as he admitted it would be a 'dream' too see the 25-year-old win the golden boot in Qatar.

"I'm really pleased for Marcus," Maguire said. "He has so much talent that I don't think he'll ever reach what his talent can get to. He's so talented that he could be one of the best in the world and I think he should strive for that.

"Over the last year or so, it's not just Marcus at Manchester United – we had a difficult year as a group and it affects people as individuals. This year he's playing with a lot more freedom and a big smile on his face. We speak about him getting back to his best and I'm sure he will do.

"We've seen it this year. He's become a lot more consistent with his goals and assists and he affects games. That's the biggest thing. He's always a goal threat. He's always having chances."
