<\/p>\n

Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford, has played down Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s comparison of him and Cristiano Ronaldo, insisting he still has a long way to go to match the Portugal superstar.<\/p>\n

Solskjaer said it was \u201ceasy\u201d to compare Rashford and Ronaldo, after the England international scored his 13th goal in his last 14 games, in the 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

Rashford has also reached 50 United goals in fewer games than Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a forward player ever since I\u2019ve come through, they always compare you with forwards that have been in the past and it\u2019s something that you don\u2019t really have much of an input on.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll you do is try to do your best on the pitch and then people outside do the talking about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just a thing people like to do with forwards so it\u2019s obviously nice, definitely a compliment. I understand how far I\u2019ve got left to go to reach the heights they reached so I am very clear-minded and just focused on myself,\u201d Rashford said according to ESPN.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
