"Many Photos" - How Paul Pogba is using his incredible passing range and relationship with Mbappe to turn Man United star Marcus Rashford into a world class superstar

MARCUS RASHFORD is being fast-tracked into becoming a world class player – and it’s all thanks to Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe.

Manchester United have turned their season around after sacking Jose Mourinho and appointing club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as interim boss.

And one of the biggest changes implemented at Old Trafford was Rashford being asked to lead the line up front.

And it has certainly paid off.

Rashford has nine goals and seven assists from 22 games in the Premier League this season.

And a fair few of these goals have been assisted by Pogba, himself looking a completely different player to the one that spectacularly fell-out with Mourinho over tactics.

Incredibly, this is almost a carbon copy of the play that involved Pogba with striker Kylian Mbappe being the beneficiary for France during the World Cup

SunSport can reveal that the Pogba-Rashford axis appears to replicate the Pogba-Mbappe axis for France.

During the World Cup, Pogba would often pick the ball up deep, and with a few giant strides he was in a position to play a searching ball up to Mbappe.

The pace of the PSG striker would mean he would have the defenders in the spin – he finished with four goals from seven games as Les Blues were crowned champions.

Under Solskjaer, Pogba has been given more freedom to do things his way in the middle of the park – and Rashford won’t be complaining.

Paul Pogba likes to exploit the pace of Kylian Mbappe for France – and it more often than not leads to a goal

In fact, the lead-up that led to Rashford netting against Spurs is almost a carbon copy from a France game at the World Cup.

Against Croatia, Pogba picked up the ball with one opponent in front and one behind.

But quick feet gives him some space and he arrowed a ball through to Mbappe, with the opposition defenders playing catch up.

He is utilising Rashford’s pace in the same way this season at United.

As defenders are facing the man in possession, Pogba, Rashford is ready to dissect the centre-halves and use his acceleration to bear down on goal.

By bringing the defenders with him, Rashford allows his team-mate that bit more space to make sure his pass is accurate and effective.

This is how Rashford netted what proved to be the only goal of the game in beating Spurs at Wembley this season.

If Manchester United can mirror French play in other areas of the pitch, they could well be back challenging for Premier League titles in no time.
