Rashford should use Ronaldo as a role model - Meulensteen

The young England striker has been urged to channel the former Red Devils star as he looks to find form in front of goal

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford should embrace Cristiano Ronaldo as a role model, according to former Red Devils coach Rene Meulensteen.

The 21-year-old, who is currently on international duty with England, has previously described the Juventus striker as a childhood hero having watched on as a fan while the Portuguese star was still playing at Old Trafford.

While hesitant to make any direct comparison between the two, Meulensteen has urged Rashford to use Ronaldo as inspiration as he looks to follow in his goalscoring footsteps.
