Manchester United title winner Dimitar Berbatov says Marcus Rashford deserves to be considered their prime No9.

Rashford netted the opening goal in the 2-0 Europa League win over Granada, bringing his total for the season to 20.

In doing so, he became the first United player since Wayne Rooney to hit that mark in back-to-back seasons.

“Rashford is still a very young player and he is a superstar in world football, he been leading United's attack for a while now too, I think he is getting the credit he deserves and hopefully he is only just getting started," the former Red Devils striker told Betfair.

“Mbappe, Haaland and Rashford are the players I am looking at to dominate the future. Although he's only 23, he's already got lots of experience, he's going into his fifth year of being a senior player and a big part of the team.

“Not many other players at his age can say they have had that level of experience at a big club.

“Now, it's simple, he must continue to work on his strengths and work on his weaknesses.

“My view is that he should work on converting every chance he gets, sometimes his concentration isn't 100% when he has a good goal scoring opportunity, so he needs to work on that.

“If he stays healthy and doesn't have any injuries then he will always be up there and an easy pick for the manager."
