Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo compared by Manchester United great Gary Neville

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has made a comparison between Marcus Rashford and Cristiano Ronaldo. The 22-year-old Rashford had been enjoying a great season before the suspension of the Premier League, netting 14 in 22 league appearances, before being sidelined with a back injury. Despite his form this season, there has still been some questions over his consistency of scoring goals. However, Neville thinks the pressure on Rashford must be relieved as United legend Ronaldo wasn't the greatest finisher at his age either. "Marcus Rashford, to be fair, is still a young player [who’s] developing, he needs to be persisted with," he said. "He will be persisted with because Manchester United believe in him, and they should believe in him because he’s a great talent. "When you’re sort of a young player... Alan Shearer didn’t score a goal a game at Southampton when he first broke in. Simple as that. "Cristiano [Ronaldo] didn’t do it at Manchester United when he first came to Manchester. We shouldn’t be expecting the same of Marcus Rashford." Source- Manchester Evening News
