Manchester United legend Paul Ince says he would prefer to coach Marcus Rashford than Neymar.
The pair came up against each other when United played PSG in Paris last week, with Rashford scoring a late winner for the visitors.
And Ince believes the 23-year-old provides more consistency than Brazil star Neymar, who he described as ’embarrassing’.
“I look at Rashford and the way he plays, his attitude, his application, his intensity, he’s a main part of that team,” the former Red Devils midfielder told Ladbrokes.
“For such a young kid he’s got a great responsibility on his shoulders, not just on the pitch but off it as well. He’s the level United should be looking at when bringing in players.
“He’s a great boy – he’s still only 23. A Manchester boy, he plays like he loves the club – which is brilliant. Some players play like they want to get away from the club. It looks like he wants to be there for the rest of his life.
“You look at Kylian Mbappe, you look at Neymar. Would you put Rashford in that ilk? Not just yet, but he’s still learning, he’s young.
“Mbappe is a special player. You look at Neymar, though, against Man United, he was a disgrace. He was embarrassing. Losing the ball, standing still. That’s not a great player.
“You wouldn’t get that from Rashford. He came on and scored a hat-trick.
“If you were to ask me who I’d rather have in my team between Rashford and Neymar, it’s Rashford, absolutely. That’s for sure.
“If he keeps continuing doing what he’s doing, I’m certain he’d be up there with the likes of Mbappe.
“He likes the pressure, he turns it on week-in, week-out. That’s what a Man United player should be.”
