Manchester United midfielder Casemiro says Marcus Rashford can be one of the top five players in the world if he maintains his current form.
Rashford was dropped for disciplinary reasons on Saturday afternoon, but came off the bench and scored the winning goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Saturday's goal took Rashford's tally six goals in the Premier League, which is already two more than the whole of last season.
Casemiro admitted he has been surprised by the England international this season and has backed him to reach greater heights.
"I'm gonna be very honest with you. I was really surprised with the player Rashford is. In my opinion, especially knowing the player off the pitch, I can tell you that if he's doing well, he can be one of the top five players in the world.
"He has an incredible way of hitting the ball, he's got strength, he's quick, is very clever playing.
"He was one of the players that really surprised me. Of course, when you play in a different league you already know the player, but when you're in the same club every day."
"What a spectacular player. I'm enjoying so much playing with him. He gives us a lot of energy. I'm delighted to play with him. And I'm sure if he stays like this, with the conditions he has, he can easily be a top-five player because he's exceptional."
