The 21-year-old striker already enjoys high esteem, but the Spaniard thinks we only see the tip of the iceberg.
Ander Herrera could not name another player of the same fabric as his Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford, and thinks the attacker will become "unstoppable".
Rashford has seen a resurgence under new boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who seems to prefer the 21-year-old to Romelu Lukaku as first-choice center-forward, with the England international reaping the benefits in terms of goals scored.
Jose Mourinho had most of the time relegated Rashford to the wing during his tenure at Old Trafford, but Herrera felt that, there are many tall men wide in the match today. His teammate has something more.

"It's different," said Herrera ESPN. "We know that there are currently fantastic wings in modern football: 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 player, but I think he'll improve over time in his decision making and that he'll be unstoppable. "
And, while Herrera thinks the English striker is an integral part of the pack, he also praises Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata.
The Spaniard acknowledges that the duo's skills are more limited, but insists that he uses what he has to produce a remarkable effect.
"We all know that Lingard does not have the individual ability of Rashford, Martial or Alexis Sanchez, but he has other very important qualities.
"When I get the ball, as soon as I turn, I know Jesse is moving to receive it. Juan Mata is quite similar, they are always ready to recover the ball and help the team.
"Football is about making the right decisions. That's why Mata still plays and plays fantastically.
"I always tell him that it's not the fastest, that he's not the strongest, that he's not the best shot, but that he always makes the right decision.
"When you see one of us shoot at goal, who is the one who is always ready for the goalie's rebound?" Mata.

"When we see one of our backs cross the ball, who is still in the right position in the field in the area? Mata.
"When the team is in trouble and we need an extra midfielder to come play, who is there? Juan Mata. "
United returns to the Premier League with a trip to Fulham on Saturday, eager to stay in the race for a spot in the top four.
