Marcus Rashford is ‘pure Ronaldo’ as Man Utd striker scores breathtaking free-kick vs Chelsea

MARCUS RASHFORD has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo after his incredible free-kick against Chelsea.

The England international produced a moment of magic to send Manchester United into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The score was locked at 1-1 after Michy Batshuayi’s second half strike cancelled out Rashford’s opener from the penalty spot.

But the 21-year-old took the chance to double his tally after Fred was fouled by Pedro in Chelsea’s half.

United fans have previously pleaded with the club to ban Rashford from free-kicks after a number of awful efforts.

One supporter was even spotted hiding her head in her hands after he stepped up to take a set piece.

But that won’t happen again after his goal of the season contender against the Blues.

Rashford curled his effort over the wall, past Willy Caballero and into the corner of the net.

Immediately after the goal, fans on social media likened his technique to Ronaldo’s.

One said: “Rashford or Ronaldo? Unbelievable free kick!”

Another added: “When did Marcus Rashford turn into Cristiano Ronaldo? Incredible goal.”

While one supporter commented: “Wow! Nothing we’ve seen from Rashford over the years suggests that would go in. That’s Ronaldo like.”
