Alejandro Garnacho was quick to describe Manchester United teammate Marcus Rashford as 'one of the best in the world right now' after the Reds' derby victory over Manchester City on Saturday.
Rashford scored the winning goal for Erik ten Hag's side, with the Reds climbing up to third in the Premier League table following the win over their rivals. It was City who took the lead in the clash through Jack Grealish, but Bruno Fernandes levelled proceedings in controversial fashion.
Having found the back of the net against Pep Guardiola's men, Rashford has now registered 16 goals in 26 appearances so far this season, including eight in the Premier League.

Garnacho, who replaced Christian Eriksen in the 72nd minute, impressed after coming on and provided the assist for Rashford's winning strike. The young Argentine was delighted with the impact he made, and was keen to praise his teammate for his calm finish from close range.
The 18-year-old took to social media after the game, writing: "THIS CITY IS OUR CITY!! @ManUtd... Assistance to one of the best in the world right now @MarcusRashford".
Rashford has already scored 11 more goals than he managed in the entirety of last campaign, with the 25-year-old comfortably back to his best after a difficult season last term. Following the win over City, he was also lauded by striker coach Benni McCarthy - as well as several other teammates.
Commenting on the England international's Instagram post, McCarthy wrote: "Keep that (fire) burning bro... plenty more to come."
United face Crystal Palace in their next Premier League match, with the Reds travelling to Selhurst Park on Wednesday evening.
