Kluivert says United striker Rashford is the best candidate to ease pressure on Suarez at Barcelona

Patrick Kluivert says Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is the 'best' candidate should Barcelona look to ease the pressure on Luis Suarez this summer.

The former Catalan side's striker feels the 21-year-old from Wythenshawe has 'got the skills' to excel at the Nou Camp, a compliment Kluivert does not feel applies to many in the Premier League.

Rashford's deal at United expires in 2020 but the club have offered him a new deal worth £150,000-a-week in a bid to secure their talented striker for the long-term.
