Saha– ‘Marcus Rashford has received the energy of Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to Louis Saha, Manchester United’s in-form Marcus Rashford appears to have “been handed the vigor of Cristiano Ronaldo.”

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo left the Red Devils in November 2022 after he became a free agent.

At that point, Rashford was showing signs of rediscovering his form, but since the World Cup break, he has been nearly unstoppable, scoring 16 goals in his past 17 appearances to increase his season total to a personal-best 24.

The 25-year-old is playing as well as anyone on the planet, according to former United striker Saha, who described an incredible purple patch to Lord Ping: “Rashford is one of the best players in the world of football right now, but Kylian Mbappe is still the best,but Kylian Mbappe is still the best as he’s been incredible over the last three years and the boss at PSG, even with Neymar and Lionel Messi there”.

“In terms of how good he was in the World Cup too, but Mbappe and Rashford are the best two in the world at the moment. Erling Haaland is playing well, but he doesn’t provide as much”.

“The excitement, speed, confidence of this guy at the moment, he’s unplayable and Kylian Mbappe is the same – it’s impossible to defend these skilful players. It seems he’s been transferred the energy of Cristiano Ronaldo since his departure – I don’t know what’s happened to the kid!”

In his most recent game, Rashford scored twice as United thrashed Leicester 3-0. Given that Ronaldo has always surpassed the 30-goal threshold throughout the years, he will feel as though he should be doing so this season.

Five points behind Arsenal for first place in the Premier League, Erik ten Hag’s squad is currently in third place. They are also getting ready for Thursday’s second leg of their tie against Barcelona in the Europa League quarterfinal play-off stage that is now tied at 2-2 on aggregate..
