'He's in the form of his life': Robin van Persie lauds Marcus Rashford after his startling run of form for Manchester United this season, as the former Arsenal striker adds 'everyone knew' he would succeed from an early age

Robin van Persie has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford after an excellent season so far for the Manchester United man.

The 25-year-old has scored 27 goals in all competitions under Erik ten Hag and has already picked up a League Cup winners medal, with United also fighting in the latter stages of the FA Cup and Europa League.

He was initially named in Gareth Southgate's England squad to face Italy and Ukraine, but has been forced to pull out after an injury in the Red Devils' FA Cup clash with Fulham at the weekend.
