Marcus Rashford must have watched Cristiano Ronaldo practice free-kicks at Manchester United, according to caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Rashford sealed Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United on Wednesday, having also helped Romelu Lukaku open the scoring.
Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was unable to deal with Rashford’s free-kick for the opener, spilling it for Lukaku to tap in.
Solskjaer believes Rashford may have learnt a bit from former United star Ronaldo, who left Old Trafford in 2009.
“I can talk about loads of individuals but when you’re a striker like he is, scores such a great goal like today, calm, composed, just passes it past the goalkeeper,” he told a news conference.
