The only difference in the trajectories of Marcus Rashford and Kylian Mbappe is that the latter has been playing in a better team for much longer.
That's according to former Manchester United striker Louis Saha who believes Rashford would already be considered among the Ballon d'Or contenders had he been in a more confident side in recent years. The forward has roared back to his best form this season after enduring his worst-ever goal-scoring return last term.
Rashford already has 16 goals and six assists in 27 games and is far and away the top scorer in Erik ten Hag's improving side. Saha now rates him as one of the best players in the world on form.
