Cristiano Ronaldo impact on Marcus Rashford laid bare after ‘surprising’ training behaviour

Portugal striker Ronaldo lost his starting spot at Old Trafford this season, eventually leaving the club by mutual agreement in November and joining Al-Nassr after the World Cup. In his absence, though, Rashford has topped United's scoring charts and sits on a career-best 28 goals in all competitions after his winner against Brentford on Wednesday.
