Marcus Rashford aiming to follow Cristiano Ronaldo's lead by being a constant threat at Manchester United

Marcus Rashford has targeted replicating the rise of Cristiano Ronaldo, with the young Manchester United and England striker believing the Real Madrid man sets the benchmark.

Rashford is expected to receive a recall to the national side when Gareth Southgate names his squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia on Sunday.

The 18-year-old has the remarkable record of having scored on his Premier League, League Cup, Europa League and senior international debuts, but before becoming a fans' favourite at Old Trafford, he himself was in the stands learning his trade off the likes of Wayne Rooney - and Ronaldo.
