De Gea: Rashford can make history

David De Gea believes Marcus Rashford can go on to make history for Manchester United after the teenager's latest goal earned a 1-0 victory over Aston Villa.

Rashford took his tally to seven in 12 games during the first half at Old Trafford on Saturday and De Gea is delighted with his colleague's seamless integration into the first team.

"It's unbelievable, no?" the keeper 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. He's a shy guy, a really good lad and a good team-mate. He's a really good guy." 

De Gea kept another clean sheet in a win that confirmed Villa's relegation from the Barclays Premier League and the Spaniard felt the three points were vital in the quest for a Champions League spot.

"We've defended really well this season and we need to continue until the last game and hopefully we will be in the top four," he said. "We need to win our games and wait for the rest of the teams. We will see in the end."
