Cristiano Ronaldo an inspiration to me, admits Marcus Rashford

Manchester United young striker Marcus Rashford says he was inspired by Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo during his time at Manchester United.

The 18-year old is one of the key players in the team as Manchester United are keen to go for Premier League title this season under new manager Jose Mourinho. The new manager have sent most of the young players on loan or offloaded some of them on a permanent basis.

However, he kept some of the young talents with him for the current season and Marcus Rashford is the brightest of the lot as he has either started or came as a substitute in all the Manchester United games so far this season.

The young striker has admitted his admiration for the Portuguese international and has grown up seeing Ronaldo as an inspiration during his earlier years.

“When Cristiano Ronaldo came to United, he was the one who everyone looked up to,” Rashford told Inside United.

“The thing that impressed me the most was the fact he was only young when he came into the side and he wanted to be the best player on the side.

“He worked hard every single day, you saw him in the gym every single day and the results came on the pitch. He openly wanted to be the best player in the world.”

Rashford who is touted to be the next big academy player from Manchester United sees Ronaldo’s single-mindedness as a key attribute to become a successful player in the world.

“You have to have an approach like that — all the best players in the world do,” he added. “It’s not arrogance or anything like that, it’s the mindset you need to achieve things.”

Rashford is already taken by the fans and are hugely admired for his success since his start under Louis van Gaal last season. He has scored on Manchester United debut and have been scoring consistently since then. He has also scored an extra time winner against Hull City this season as Manchester United clinched three important points.
