Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is showing that he's in the same bracket as the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele, according to Phil Neville.
The former Red Devils defender believes Rashford is not talked about highly enough in this country, and insists he should be talked about in the same breath as the two French forwards.
Both were among the most talked about players in this summer's transfer market, and ended up sealing big-money moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, respectively.
Mbappe joined PSG on an initial loan but will end up costing around £163million next summer, while Dembele joined Barca for a fee of £136m, which currently makes him the second most expensive player in history.
Neville heaped praise on Rashford after his performance in the Carabao Cup win over Burton, saying he should also be talked about as a £100-150m player.
'Everybody praises Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe but nobody talks about Rashford in this country,' Neville said.
'Because he's English we just say "he plays on the left wing, he's OK". He is up there with Dembele and Mbappe, who also play on either wing.
'People say you have to play Rashford as a centre-forward but you can play him anywhere because he is good enough.'
Neville added: 'Rashford is in the same bracket as those two - £100m-£150m players - he is every bit as good as those two and can be in the future because he is improving every season.
'He broke in under Louis van Gaal and set the world on fire, in his second season under Jose Mourinho everyone thought he wouldn't play but he did in all the big games. Now he is adding goals to his game and he can be absolutely world class.'
Rashford, 19, has five goals in eight games in all competitions so far this season, and also recently scored England's winner in their World Cup qualifier against Slovakia.
