Arsenal legend Ian Wright is convinced Marcus Rashford will be a Manchester United first-choice by the New Year.

Wright reckons Rashford will soon be leading the line at Old Trafford alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"I think it's brilliant what he's doing: he's not saying too much, he wants to play, he comes on, he scores a goal, he's forcing the issue for Jose Mourinho," Wright told ITV following England's World Cup 2018 qualifying win over Slovakia.

"I believe halfway down this season he will end up most probably playing with Ibra.

"He's ready to go, you can't hold him back."
