Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney is full of praise for teammate Marcus Rashford.

Rooney knows a thing or two about shining at a young age and believes his Red Devils team-mate deserves his place in the 23-man group, despite his tender years and inexperience.

"His attitude is fantastic. He's really been left to play, and he's done really well. I strongly believe he deserves his place in the squad," Rooney said.

"He can be a dangerous player for us. He had a fantastic debut, scoring after two or three minutes. I think, as players, we appreciate how tough the decision was for Roy to make. But with Marcus, he's a strong-minded lad for 18, and he can certainly bring a lot of fear to defences for us when he plays.

"If he keeps going the way he is, he'll be a massive talent for England and Manchester United for a good few years.

"I think the way he took, first of all, to coming into Manchester United's team and the way he has performed until the end of the season has been incredible, really, for his age."
