Marcus Rashford has been in superb form for Manchester United this season, especially since the World Cup.

The Englishman has netted 13 times in 15 matches since the resumption of club football after the 2022 World Cup.

He is also just two goals away from matching beating his best goal-scoring season, which was 22 goals in 2019/20.

Despite this, Rio Ferdinand has been telling Rashford how he can improve.

The United legend said on his YouTube channel FIVE: “If I’m a defender sometimes I look at Marcus and he can make it easy for defenders sometimes in the game. If he offered the threat in behind a bit more, then I think he’d get even more joy to feet and becomes that threat in behind still.

“That part of the game there, his decision-making on whether to come long or short, if he gets that he becomes even more of a horrible player to play against.”

He added: “I think there’s more of the dominance over 90 minutes that he can bring where he’s bringing other people into the game because you know he’s got the passing,” Ferdinand added.

“We saw that last season, even when he was out of form there were still elements where you were saying ‘wow’. Once he starts getting that synergy with other people in the team he’ll be able to pick out players more. He can take over a game.

“We’ve seen him do that at points this season but if he can do that more consistently I think you’re getting into the realms of world class football player. He’s not that far off now in terms of form, he’s right up there.”
