5 reasons why Marcus Rashford is more talented than Marco Asensio

#2 Rashford is more of a team player

Rashford likes to bring his team-mates into play

While this might be a little harsh on the young Spaniard, his recent outings haven’t done him any favours in this regard. Last season, the former Mallorca starlet wouldn’t have been accused of being selfish.

This season, however, there is something different about him. Surely, those two goals against Barcelona over two games helped take his confidence sky-high, which is something we can witness in his game now.

However, there are often times when you realise that Asensio could have been more effective if he decided to pass instead of go for glory all by himself. It is of little wonder as to why Cristiano Ronaldo cuts a forlorn figure up top with Asensio and Isco playing around him.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford might have the forward’s instinct and does attempt to score goals, but he is also aware of his surroundings and is keen to help his team-mates more often than not. It is for this very reason as to why Jose Mourinho trusts him like he hasn’t done with any other young player in his career.
