MARCUS RASHFORD is all the rage…his name is on the tip of the tongue of every self-respected football fan and pundit.
Except Phil Neville’s…
In his case Rashford’s name is slipping off his tongue because he inadvertently referred to the teenage whizkid as MICHAEL.
And all on national television.
United ace Rashford has now scored on his European, Premier League, League Cup and England (senior and Under 21) debuts.
He’s also been involved in more goals in all competitions than any other United player since his debut last season (11 goals, 3 assists).
So it was natural that Neville, summing up United’s 3-1 EFL Cup win at Northampton, should analyse his performance.
Except that he said:
“Zlatan is helping him a lot …I think the biggest quality MICHAEL Rashford has got is…”

To be fair Neville did provide a decent analysis of the United sensation, insisting it will be hard to leave him out on Saturday for the visit of Premier League champions Leicester City.
“The biggest quality he’s got is his temperament. To play for Manchester United is not easy, especially at a young age. He’s making it look easy – he’s getting quicker, he’s getting stronger and the relationship between him and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is going to be special.”
So special that maybe Phill will remember Marcus’s name next time!
