Van persie in the making. The boy is destined for greatness and needs to be given more playing time as a striker than rashford.

That's why Old Trafford is theatre of dreams . Kudos to both of them for such an enviable achievements , the only minus for Rashford is that he's declining instead of progressing , and am seeing Greenwood eclipsing him as Utd's top striker if the 17 year old continues with this momentum, not in vain Ole sees Greenwood as best finisher around ..
