Southgate likens 'special talent' Rashford to young Ronaldo

The England boss believes the young Manchester United man needs time to grow, but is on pace to be a world superstar

Could Marcus Rashford be a Cristiano Ronaldo figure for England?

Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate believes the Manchester United youngster is a "special talent" and has likened him to the Juventus and Portugal star, even pointing out that the 20-year-old is better in front of goal than Ronaldo was at that tender age.

Rashford scored the winning goal for England against Switzerland on Tuesday, making it three home internationals in row with a goal for the youngster.
