Manchester United hero Rio Ferdinand has underlined the role played by Wout Weghorst in allowing Marcus Rashford to shine at Old Trafford this season.
Before kick-off against West Ham on Sunday night Rashford had scored 29 goals in all competitions for United. Weghorst, meanwhile, has only found the net twice following his January loan move from Burnley and United will not attempt to sign him permanently when the market reopens.
However, after being recalled to the starting XI at the London Stadium with Anthony Martial dropping to the bench, Weghorst was pinpointed by Ferdinand as a significant factor in how Rashford has gone to another level since the World Cup break. However, he also called on the Netherlands international to net more goals himself in order to help rubber-stamp Champions League qualification.
