Manchester United starlet Marcus
Rashford has identified Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo as the example
he intends to follow in his quest for Old Trafford stardom.
The
United academy product burst on to the scene last term with a double
against Midtjylland in the Europa League on February 25, before
repeating the feat against Arsenal in the Premier League just three days
later.
Rashford has since gone on to become a
real threat for United and, after initially struggling to get into Jose
Mourinho's team at the beginning of the season, he now has four goals in
his last seven appearances across all competitions.
And with the 18-year-old tipped for the top, he is aiming to follow in the footsteps of another former Old Trafford favourite.
"In recent years Ronaldo is the example," he told Sky Sports' Soccer AM.
"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 [together]. 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."
