England striker Marcus Rashford says that he hopes to follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

Marcus Rashford has expressed his desire to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps at Manchester United.

The 18-year-old has scored 12 goals in 25 games for the Red Devils since netting a brace on his debut in February 2016.

Ronaldo also made his United bow at the age of 18 when he signed for Sir Alex Ferguson's side from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, going on to become one of the club's most iconic players.

In an interview with Sky Sports News, Rashford said: "In recent years Ronaldo is the example, 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. 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 also impressed for England, marking his first Three Lions senior game with a goal and firing a hat-trick on his Under-21s debut.
