Manchester United starlet Marcus Rashford has been showered with praise by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swedish frontman is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract extending his stay at Old Trafford after his impressive start to the Premier League.
A combination of goals and the aura he oozes in the dressing room which includes nurturing the younger talent will see him rewarded with a new deal. While he stars for United bagging four goals in as many games, the 34-year-old has hailed the promising attacker by saying he'll "take over everything."

"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." He told MUTV.
Despite giving Jose Mourinho a selection headache prior to the Manchester derby, the Portuguese ultimately left him the 18-year-old on the bench before drafting him on. Though his ability isn't going unnoticed as he continues to add.

"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. There is no need to rush to push him and put him in the heat zone and put a lot of pressure on him because that can have the opposite effect."
"Time by time, he will take over everything. It's about having patience."
Ibrahimovic is attempting to win a league title in England following his successes in Holland, Italy, Spain, France, and he'll pass on the experience he's gained over the years to Rashford.

"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."
