Ex-Man Utd star Saha says Rashford can join Mbappe and Haaland as world’s best

Marcus Rashford has been told he can score upwards of 30 goals per season and join Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland as the world's best players.

Manchester United star Rashford scored against Bournemouth earlier this week to continue his recent hot streak, bagging the third goal in the home side's comfortable 3-0 victory. The 25-year-old has three goals in his last three Premier League games either side of the Qatar World Cup, bringing his tally to 12 for the season in all competitions.

And former Old Trafford hero Saha believes United's no.10 is on course to not only match the talents of Mbappe and Haaland, but potentially even better them.

Speaking to Compare.bet, Saha said: "He [Rashford] is a player who can score 30-40 goals a season. There’s no doubt about it. He can do it all and why can’t Marcus Rashford do as much or even more than Haaland or Mbappe?

"Those two guys have great pace and awareness that very few players have. They’re so good at getting in the right areas and scoring different sorts of goals, which is what Marcus is starting to do."

Saha also spoke positively about Erik ten Hag's influence on the England forward, going so far as to suggest the Dutchman had changed Rashford's life.

"Half way through his first year I’m really impressed with him," Saha said. "He has changed Marcus Rashford’s life, and even Anthony Martial is smiling now and looks to have improved. There is still hope with Maguire and he has dealt with that situation really well.

"There doesn’t seem to be any players that are unhappy now, and they are working hard and getting the results their performances deserve."

Rashford's rich vein of form has helped propel United back into the conversation for not only the Champions League, but perhaps even the title race.

The Red Devils have won their last four matches in the top-flight and now find themselves just nine points adrift of league leaders Arsenal.
