Rashford unstoppable when he got space, says Van Gaal

The Dutch manager introduced the current star of Manchester United in 2016 when he was 18.

gave a debut to

in an important Euro League match in his second season. It was a turning point for the young English striker as he became a regular player for the Red Devils since then. Rashford has scored 79 goals in 234 appearances for United across all competitions since graduating to the senior squad in 2015.

Van Gaal praises Marcus Rashford as he says the forward is playing more mature, giving more passes, and step by step becoming a star in

.

When I first saw him, he was an old fashioned dribbler. That is how he played in the reserves,"

the Dutch head coach told The Mirror.

“He would take people on all the time, go past them with lovely dribbles. And he still loves to do that.

“But he is now growing as a top player. He knows when he can’t make his dribbles, he needs to pass.

“When he has double markers he needs to come up with quick decisions and different options.

“I have noticed how he is giving more assists for goals, the way he scans the pitch is good.

“He must keep doing that, if he dribbles too much he gets stuck with the ball. When you give him space, he is unstoppable.’’
