'He has to demand goals like Ronaldo' - Kleberson urges Rashford to follow in footsteps of Man Utd legend

Marcus Rashford needs to start "demanding goals" in order to emulate Manchester United great Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Kleberson.

Rashford burst onto the scene as a youngster at Old Trafford in 2015 under Louis van Gaal, impressing with his raw pace and eye for goal during a transitional period for the club.

The 21-year-old has since only managed to score 47 goals in 171 matches across all competitions, showing a lack of composure in the final third despite being given a prominent role upfront.

Rashford contributed a modest 10 goals and six assists to United's cause in 33 Premier League appearances last season, but he already has two goals to his name in the 2019-20 campaign.
