Despite opening up that Marcus Rashford is not ready for first team actions at Old Trafford, the Dutchman has compared the 18 year old to other top prodigies he has brought up in his previous clubs.
Van Gaal who has managed a lot of clubs in his career has said Rashford has given the same performance as Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert.
He said:
"... And then I go to Ajax and Patrick Kluivert, 18-years-old, made the same performances as Marcus Rashford. I can give a lot of examples, it is not new.
"At Bayern Munich it was Thomas Muller, at Barcelona, Xavi was 18 years-old and Iniesta 17-years-old, and (Thiago) Motta was also 18-years-old, who is now playing at Paris Saint- Germain. It is not strange. Age is not the big issue. Quality is the big issue."
