Marcus rashford has become one of the best forwards in the Premier League in United manchester, inevitably drawing comparisons with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
After joining United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, Ronaldo was smooth sailing before completing a £ 80 million transfer to Real Madrid six years later.
Rooney came to Old Trafford in 2004 and spent 13 illustrious years at the club, eventually becoming his own. all-time top scorer.
Unsurprisingly, the Red Devils have struggled to replace those two unique talents in recent years, but it looks like Rashford is finally going to fill that void.
Courtesy of Transfermarkt, we’ve compared Rashford’s first 250 games at United to Ronaldo and Rooney’s first 250 appearances at United to see who wins.
