Marcus Rashford's idol as a kid was Brazilian legend, Ronaldo. The Brazilian was associated with tremendous pace, extraordinary skills and remarkable finishing. All these traits are visible to an extent even in Marcus Rashford and the both of them are also good at dribbling.

The 21-year old exhibits many characteristics that Ronaldo possessed and one would hope Rashford goes on to become as great as Ronaldo. In fact, both of them have spoken a lot about how much they admire each other.

Rashford has stated that:

He always played free. No matter where he was playing, he played free and went out there and expressed himself. When you do that, that's when you play your best football.

Ronaldo has also expressed his admiration for the youngster:

He’s a very good young player. I see some of myself in him for sure - he has courage and he’s fast and is very good with the ball.
