That is according to pundit and former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand.
Rashford has hit the ground running since being handed his debut by Louis Van Gaal back in 2015.
The youngster is now a regular
in the first-team and is being tipped to become one of the greatest talents England has ever produced.
And after his rise to stardom, Ferdinand admits he is optimistic about Rashford's future.
“He’s a great talent and he’s doing well,” the United legend told the Daily Mirror.
“He looks like he’s maturing. He’s improving, he’s hungry and he’s getting opportunities this season.
“He’s somebody who can be a huge talent for United and England, and he’s at the right place to do that."
Rashford may be the youngster to watch in the Premier League but across Europe some incredible talents have emerged in recent years.
Phil Neville recently claimed Rashford was as good as Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.
But Ferdinand is quick to say the 19-year-old is yet to perform in Europe, unlike the French duo.
“You’ve got Ousmane Dembele who’s gone to Barcelona and Mbappe, who’s gone to PSG. Would you say Rashford is of the same ilk as them?" he added.
“I think potentially he’s as good as those guys, but they’ve done it in the Champions League, while he’s yet to prove that.
“But I don’t think Marcus is silly.
“He knows he’s not the finished article and will keep working hard at his game.
“He has to keep proving himself, and there are so many hurdles you have to get over. These young players, we’re too quick to say, 'He can be this or that’.
“If he keeps improving, keeps working at his game and stays in love with football, he’s got as good a chance as any kid in the game to be a real success and a huge star.”
