Robin van Persie thinks Marcus Rashford is on a mission

“Yeah, you can see he’s having maybe the best form of his life,” van Persie said of Marcus, during an exclusive interview with club media. “The way he plays, he looks very fit. He looks very focused.

“He looks to have fun. He’s on a mission now. Everyone knew from an early age, because he broke through from a very early age, everyone knew how good of a player he was – and still is of course – but now you see that everything clicks, and that is partly down to him, but as well a coach, and, as well, your team-mates.

“If you look at the connection he has with Fernandes for example, that is something unique. You only have that connection with a few players throughout your career. And he has that now. He is like going from strength to strength.”
