Ander Herrera thinks his Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford will soon be "unstoppable".
Rashford is in an exceptional form since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer temporarily took over United, following Jose Mourinho's departure in December.
The English international Rashford has scored four goals in the first four months of the season under Mourinho, spending most of his time on the flank.
But under Solskjaer, the 21-year-old was used almost exclusively as a center-forward, either alone or in a pair with a separate strike.
And he rewarded the Norwegian with a number of remarkable performances, while scoring six goals in eight games in a series without defeat.
That played for Rashford to be named January player in the Premier League – Solskjaer winning the manager's trophy.
And the Spanish midfielder Herrera said that he was not surprised by Rashford's improvement since his shift from a more prominent role to a more central role – and insisted on the fact that there would still be a lot to do.
"It's different," said Herrera ESPN . "We know that there are fantastic wings in modern football today: Ousmane Dembele, Raheem Sterling, Anthony Martial, Eden Hazard – but Marcus is different.
"Marcus can shoot, he can play one on one, but he also has the necessary quality to combine and not lose the ball for the team.
"I could not name another player who reminds me of Marcus Rashford. I think he's already a top, top, top player, but I think he's going to improve.
"With time, [improvements] in his decision making, and he will be unstoppable. "
Rashford is expected to lead the United attack while the Solskjaer men will attempt to continue fighting for the top four against Fulham on Saturday at noon.
The win at Craven Cottage will see United come in fourth, one point behind Chelsea, who will be heading to Manchester City on Sunday.
