Marcus Rashford's superb free kick had echoes of Cristiano Ronaldo - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Marcus Rashford's superb free kick that fired Manchester United into the Carabao Cup quarterfinals had a Cristiano Ronaldo-esque feel to it, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The England forward was in fine form as United stopped resurgent Chelsea in their tracks with a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

With 73 minutes on the clock and Chelsea beginning to dominate after Michy Batshuayi's equaliser, Rashford lined up a free kick 40 metres out and sent the ball dipping and swerving past a helpless Willy Caballero.

Earlier, Rashford had given a near full-strength United a deserved half-time lead from the penalty spot after Welshman Daniel James had been fouled by Marcos Alonso.
