Manchester United starlet Marcus Rashford has revealed that ‘for me thereâ€
s no bigger inspiration in football†than Juventus†Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rashford is likely to feature for United against Juve in the Champions League on Wednesday, and the young England forward could come up against Ronaldo, who is considered one of the Red Devils†best-ever players.
“The home game was a game with a lot of lessons. It was a game where we could have lost 2-0, drew the game 1-1 or won the game 2-1,â€� he told his clubâ€s official website, referring to the match at Old Trafford last month.
“I think in that game we left it a bit too late, but we learnt from it and we go again.
“There have been times when weâ€ve got it right and there will be times when we get it right again and times when we donâ€t, but we have to understand that it doesnâ€t always go to plan, and we have to be ready for that.
“I think itâ€s good to have the two games quite close together because the first game is quite fresh in a lot of peopleâ€s minds. I wouldnâ€t say itâ€s easier to prepare for it, but you feel ready to face it.
“The thing that is a massive eye-opener for me now is I remember when he first came his talent was arguably one of the biggest talents that weâ€ve seen at United for a long time; to have him and Wayne [Rooney] in the same team was amazing when you look back.
“But the way heâ€s sustained his career and even improved year or year is just amazing.
“People donâ€t do that at his age, people are usually heading towards the end of their career and their level starts going down a little bit, but heâ€s just gone up and up and up.
“For me there is no bigger inspiration in football. I could speak for a lot of young players and United fans that watched the team when he was here and the majority of us have followed him as heâ€s moved on in his career and thatâ€s what special about United.
“Once you play for this club you become part of this family even if you move on. There is always something that remains in your heart, you could see that when he returned [to Old Trafford] from our fans.
“When you play against a player like that you have to respect his qualities but at the same time you have to play your game and you canâ€t show fear to that type of player.â€�
