Following his superbly taken free-kick in Manchester United's 2-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday night, Marcus Rashford has drawn comparisons with ex-Red Devils superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Red Devils defeated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the League Cup on Wednesday, with Rashford scoring a brace from two dead-ball situations.
For his first, Rashford scored a penalty after Daniel James was fouled by Marcos Alonso in the box, while his second was one right out of the top drawer – a knuckle-ball free-kick from distance to win the game.
The 22-year-old's strike was almost a carbon copy of a few free-kicks Ronaldo hit for United years ago, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was quick to point that out in a post-match press conference.

"It's Cristiano-like, isn't it?" he said, according to ESPN.
"The boy has got nerves of steel, he takes the penalty, no problem.
"Then he steps up and hits the ball like he does, no problem, and wins us the game.
"He always scores great goals, Marcus. He practises and today he got his reward."
