A former Premier League club owner claims it's "silly" to call Manchester United star Marcus Rashford world class despite his performances this year.
Since domestic football returned in December, Rashford has bagged an impressive 14 goals in his last 16 games across all competitions.
Those goals have helped propel United to third spot in the Premier League and a spot in the Carabao Cup final.

However, former Crystal Palace owner-turned pundit Simon Jordan claims the England international is not world class.
"Rashford is in a ridiculous vein of form," Jordan told talkSPORT.
"What I've always pushed back against is the characterisation that he is a world class player and he's in an elite position.
"You can see in a player that their confidence is brimming, but confidence and moments in time are one thing. A body of work and a constant level of containment puts you above everybody else.
"That's the usage of the word 'world class' - we throw it around like confetti. There are very few world class players, you can name them on two hands.
"At this moment in time, while Marcus Rashford's form is extraordinarily good, I think it's a bit silly to call him world class. At this moment he's on top of his game, that's a fair enough assessment."
