The head coach of the England national team, Gareth Southgate, is convinced that Marcus Rashford can be the new Cristiano Ronaldo. The strategist emphasized that even Cristiano himself was not as effective in attack at Rashford's age. Despite the fact that celebrating his 21st birthday in October, Rashford has not yet secured a main role at "Man Utd", he has been given opportunities to shine on the England national team - scoring two goals in the last two matches. "He is an exceptional talent," said G. Southgate. "We must remember that even Harry Kane couldn't break into the main 'Tottenham' team at his age." "Marcus can be compared to the best players who are already at the top of football. Rashford is taking similar steps as Ronaldo, but even Cristiano did not have such great statistics at 20." "We must give Rashford time to fully develop. Now he is getting a good amount of playing minutes, although he is not a solid starter. I am pleased that he is leaving our national team with the highest level of confidence," added the strategist. This season, Rashford has played three matches for "Man Utd", but has not yet scored a goal.
