Former France star compares Marcus Rashford to Kylian Mbappe ahead of England vs France

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has drawn comparisons between Marcus Rashford and Kylian Mbappe ahead of England's huge World Cup quarter-final showdown with France on Saturday night.

After comfortably getting through the group stage, England took another step towards the final at the Lusail Stadium on December 18 with a convincing 3-0 win over Senegal in the last-16 on Sunday evening. Goals from Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka sealed Gareth Southgate's side's place in the last-eight, booking a date with reining World Cup holders France.

Much of the conversation since the fixture was confirmed has been about how England will deal with the threat of star man Mbappe. Many consider the Frenchman, who is the current leader in the race for the Golden Boot with five goals, as the best player in the world on current form.
