Man Utd defender Lisandro: Incredible Rashy can be anything he wants to be

Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has declared Marcus Rashford as "incredible" after he scored in last night's FA Cup win against Everton.

Rashford is the leading goalscorer at the club this term and his performances were lauded by Casemiro last week, with the midfielder describing him as a 'spectacular' player.

Martinez agreed with that verdict and he explained that Rashford still has the potential to improve to yet another level.

"For me, Rashy is an incredible player," Martinez told Sky Sports. "He can be anything he wants to be, it all depends on him. I see him around the place and he's such a professional. I know how much he gives every day in the training sessions.

"I like to think that I'm always there to help him and speak with him if he needs any advice. I totally agree totally with Casemiro. He's a key player for us and he's the sort of player who can turn a game in an instant.

"But it's not just about his individual aspects, it's his work-rate as well. He's got that team ethic and team spirit about him. He realises the importance of the team and his work rate for the team is very, very important as well. He's got a great attitude and I think he's going to be one of the best players in the world."
