Louis Saha has no doubts that Marcus Rashford is the 'best player' in the Premier League on current form, as Newcastle United prepare to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final.
Rashford has netted 14 goals and provided five assists in his last 17 games across all competitions to extend his season tally to 21 goals and eight assists this term.
The England international is also the joint-leading scorer in the Carabao Cup along with Southampton forward Che Adams with five goals in as many games.
Newcastle will face Man United in their first cup final in 24 years when the two teams meet at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, February 26.

Former Man United forward Louis Saha has warned that it is going to be hard for any defender to 'cope' with the 25-year-old at the moment.
“For me, there is absolutely no question that Marcus Rashford is the best player in the Premier League right now," Saha revealed in an interview with Paddy Power.
"A lot of players played well and scored loads of goals like Erling Haaland, but in terms of quality and the full package, from December he’s been unplayable.
“He’s got the confidence and he’s playing unbelievably well. He’s also not really been helped by Wout Weghorst. The system reminds me a little bit of Kylian Mbappé and Olivier Giroud for France.
"When you have a player in full confidence, it’s going to be hard for any defender to cope with Rashford. He’s very smart and won’t get into situations where he’ll get bullied.
“There is no better player in the Premier League than Rashford right now.”
