5 reasons why Marcus Rashford is more talented than Marco Asensio

#1 Rashford is more intimidating

Asensio has been closed down well recently

So, here is a scenario: a quick and explosive player running at you with vengeance or a calm and composed player who is mostly dangerous with long-range shots – who would you be more afraid to face?

I know my choice and it is for this reason as to why I find Marcus Rashford’s presence as the more daunting one. He might only be 20, but he has already skinned quite a few experienced defenders who have been in this game for so long that their facial hair has turned white.

Marco Asensio, on the other hand, is a wonderful player by all means, but he is yet to ooze out the fear-factor like Marcus Rashford does. It seems as though defenders have found a way to stop the young Spaniard as they rarely allow him any space to shoot from 30 yards out.

This has left the 21-year-old a little stranded and his influence has waned over the last few games until the match against Las Palmas where he scored another blinder of a goal while on the run. However, Asensio offered little else for the rest of the match, and that is perhaps why Rashford is the more intimidating player.
