Cristiano Ronaldo's influence can be seen in Marcus Rashford's eye-catching form for Manchester United this season, it has been claimed.
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.
Despite top-scoring for the Red Devils in the first season of his second stint, Ronaldo's return ended on less-than-positive terms. With Rashford thriving, though, some have found positives even after the veteran's departure.
