Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford can rise to greatness like superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is, boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shares faith.
The 22-year-old England star is currently running his excellent form from start of the season after he helped United pick 2-1 derby win at Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday.
Rashford has a record of 13 goals this term with 10 coming in the Premier League fixtures.
And Solskjaer backed Rashford to emulate five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, who claimed three Premier League titles and the Champions League with United before leaving for Real Madrid in 2009.

“It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yeah,” said United boss Solskjaer. “Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes – everything.
“The boy [Rashford] has every chance in the world to become a top, top player. Let’s hope he continues like this.
“I don’t want to talk about the amount of goals. As long as he keeps being positive and being direct and thinking about getting in front of the goal and getting chances, he’ll score goals.”
United – up to fifth in the Premier League standings following wins over City and Tottenham – welcome Everton to Old Trafford on Sunday.
