Your support makes all the difference.Marcus Rashford can make history at Manchester United, according to his team-mate David De Gea.
The teenager scored the only goal at Old Trafford on Sunday as United kept their top-four hopes alive with victory over Aston Villa.
It took Rashford's tally to seven goals in 12 games.
Speaking after the game De Gea backed Rashford to continue making an impact.
"It's unbelievable, no?" the goalkeeper told MUTV. "This player is really young and he's scored many goals. Hopefully, for many years, he'll be in this club and can make history for the club as well."
Asked what 18-year-old Rashford is like to be around, De Gea said: "He's a shy guy, a really good lad and a good team-mate. He's a really good guy."
Manchester United are four points behind fourth place Arsenal in the hunt for Champions League qualification with five games remaining. They host Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
