Park Ji-sung shares Marcus Rashford verdict Manchester United fans will agree with

Manchester United favourite Park Ji-sung always expected Marcus Rashford to become one of the best players in the Premier League.

After netting only five goals in all competitions last season, Rashford has been a revelation since Erik ten Hag took charge. He has scored 30 goals for club and country this term.

Rashford, 25, has also been named Player of the Month three times over the course of the season and has his eyes on adding two further trophies before the campaign draws to a close.

Having already won the Carabao Cup, United harbour hopes of FA Cup and Europa League glory. Rashford, who will spend the international break recovering from injury, will also hope to help United cement Champions League qualification.

But how does Ji-sung view Rashford and what he has achieved under Ten Hag so far this season?

He said: "After the World Cup someone pressed the button to explode himself. Watching him you wanted to see him score more goals with his performances.

"Everyone expected that his potential is like that. He has gained more experience with that and he can be top [player and goalscorer] there in the Premier League."

During his seven-year Old Trafford career, Ji-sung made 204 appearances. He scored 28 goals in addition to 30 assists, as well as winning four Premier League titles and the 2008 Champions League.
