Rashford: “Check out your clips today.”

Manchester United’s attacker Marcus Rashford has revealed that he “still watches Internet clips from players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar to better understand their actions”. He told the Times that.

“I see videos of a lot of players. When they do something on the weekend, I want to know how they did it,” he explained.

Messi was particularly taken with the Englishman: “Messis talent is crazy. It’s always a pleasure to watch him, also for his way of using the space,” Rashford said. “It’s special how he can influence a game without touching the ball.”

The 21-year-old continues: “Even when I was younger, I watched games on TV and clips on YouTube. Then I went outside and tried everything. I was looking at Ronaldinho and the Brazilian Ronaldo.” In his professional career, Rashford has played 111 times in the Premier League and 18 times in the Champions League.
