Morgan Schneiderlin has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford after the teenager's match-winning display in the Manchester derby last Sunday.

The Manchester United academy product has made a huge impression since his impressive debut against Midtjylland in the Europa League last month, scoring five goals in eight games.

The 18-year-old grabbed the only goal of the game at the Etihad Stadium to lift United just one point behind fourth-placed City in the race for a Champions League place next season.

"It is amazing what's happened with him since he made his debut," said United midfielder Schneiderlin.

"He's a great talent, it is not just about the goals he is scoring, it's about all his game. He will make some progress in the future as well and he will be a top, top player."

And United will be looking to continue their winning form after the international break when they host Everton on April 3, live on Sky.

"It is a great feeling to win, especially for our fans after the disappointment of the Europa League defeat against Liverpool," he told MUTV. "We knew it was a massive game for ourselves as well as our fans and the club.

"We must make sure we win the game against Everton. We have some time to recover and to enjoy this victory with the international break but, against Everton, it will be even bigger than Sunday because if we want to do something in the league we need to confirm it with another win."
