Zlatan Ibrahimovic tips Marcus Rashford to ‘take over everything’ if he’s given time to develop

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC is tipping teenage sensation Marcus Rashford to “take over everything.”

The veteran Manchester United superstar has taken Rashford, 19, under his wing since arriving at Old Trafford.

And Ibrahimovic, 34, has seen plenty of potential in his young protege.

He told MUTV:”First of all, he’s 18, he’s still young. He has a lot of time.

“I think the way you have to approach a player like that, where everyone is talking about the talent and what he’s able to do and what kind of potential he has, is to remember he still has a lot of time.

“It’s not like he needs to take over the world today, the club knows that, the coach knows that and the team knows that.

“We know his quality and what he’s able to do. What the world is seeing now, we already know because we see it every day.

“Time by time, he will take over everything. It’s about having patience.”

Mourinho has highlighted Ibrahimovic as a key role model for the young players at Old Trafford.

And ibrahimovic added: "I'll help him every day, him and all the others, in any way I can. I'm happy it gives an effect but, even if I was not here, they would still do good."
