Indy Boonen is pleased with the way he's started his season at Manchester United.

And Boonen hopes to follow 'special' Marcus Rashford into the Old Trafford first-team.

Speaking to Voetbal Krant, the Belgian – who has been dubbed the 'new Ryan Giggs' – admitted: “They say you never know when you are close to the first team.

“Even with Marcus, they did not say that he was getting close to it.

“He really is a top player, I had a very good relationship with him. We blindly found each other in matches and in training.

“Rashford skipped the Under-21s, and immediately went into the first team. He is an example for every young player at United.

“When he has the ball, you immediately see that he has something special."
