Manchester United legend Paul Scholes claims that he used to watch reserve team games to see Marcus Rashford.

The Red Devils star is now 22 and a key member of the first team.

Scholes spoke about the times that he would go to watch reserve games as Rashford was involved.

He broke into the first team under Louis Van Gaal several seasons ago.

"I always remember watching him, mainly in the reserve team, and he was an out and out centre-forward," Scholes told UTD Podcast in a sneak preview of the latest episode of the club's official recording.

"Sometimes I would go to games and just watch him, and not really watch where the ball was. I'd look for his movement - is he clever enough to have that link with a midfield player? I think he has that.

"I was really excited when he first got into the team, a little bit luckily at first - I think there was an injury to someone. But ever since he has got into the team, he has shown the talent he has got as a centre-forward or a player wide on the left.

"I always remember seeing him as a kid and I thought his intelligence and movement was as a centre-forward. He looked like an out-and-out number nine, but now when you see him in games, he seems to enjoy it more from the left-hand side."
