Rio Ferdinand says Marcus Rashford can establish himself as one of the world's elite footballers if he improves his in-game dominance, ball retention and movement decision-making.

The Manchester United attacker is in the form of his career having tallied 21 goals so far this campaign. He has now scored in all but one of his last nine Premier League appearances, including in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Leeds United.

The 25-year-old has now netted more than four times as many goals as he managed last season. Ferdinand believes Rashford still has gears to go to become an even more accomplished star, though.
