For Marcus Rashford, his football career is starting to come full circle. In March 2019, Manchester United supporters eulogised the Wythenshawe native after he stunned Paris Saint-Germain to fire their club into the Champions League quarter-finals.
A 94th-minute penalty demonstrated the ice-cold mentality England fans enjoyed on Tuesday night when Rashford’s dead-ball capabilities broke the deadlock against Wales. Three-and-a-half years ago, a certain Kylian Mbappe watched on as the Ligue 1 giants surrendered a two-goal advantage from the first leg to crumble on home soil.
Comparisons began to emerge between the two, with United supporters - perhaps in jest - claiming to have the better player. To this day, both players boast a similar style, preferring to operate from the left flank, using their pace and trickery to get into goalscoring positions.
