5 reasons why Marcus Rashford is more talented than Marco Asensio

#3 Asensio's overall game has left a lot to be desired

Asensio scored a blinder against Las Palmas

When Marco Asensio scored that stunning goal against Barcelona in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup, I found myself with mazy eyes and jaws almost touching the floor. The panache with which he executed it and the precision with which it went it truly left almost everyone speechless and with their hand on their heads.

The sheer disbelief in the looks of Mateo Kovacic right after the goal spoke volumes about how impressive it was. Apart from that, however, it is difficult to pinpoint where the former Espanyol loanee stands out.

So far, he has wowed the world with his long-range shooting ability. With the number of goals he has scored from long-range over the last year, it won’t be an exaggeration to claim that no-one hits it better from outside the box.

However, apart from that, it remains difficult to understand where his other qualities lie. He played a good game against Valencia without scoring a goal, which could give one hope that he does have something in him apart from those glorious long-rangers.
