Marcus Rashford looking to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United young sensation Marcus Rashford has chosen to emulate former United star Cristiano Ronaldo. The 18-year-old has seen his rise to prominence ascend to unimaginable heights since his first team appearance in February against Midtjylland in the Europa League  where he scored a brace and has since then scored 13 goals in 35 matches so far.


Speaking to Sky Sports' Soccer AM on Friday, Rashford said he aspires to reach the level of Real Madrid's star Cristiano Ronaldo.

"In recent years Ronaldo is the example," Rashford said.

"Wherever you put him in the attacking three he's going to make an impact and the opposition are going to fear him. Being a constant threat, that's what I need to develop.

"[Wayne] Rooney and Ronaldo were unreal [together]. In 2007-08 it was an unreal partnership, they have been huge players I have looked up to and watched how they perform to try to put into my own performance."

Rashford, has won three England international cap.
