Marcus Rashford should look to the younger players at Manchester United for inspiration to rediscover his form rather than Cristiano Ronaldo.
That's according to former United striker Louis Saha, who believes Rashford has the ability to get back to his best after a difficult campaign. The 24-year-old's form plummeted last term as he endured the worst season of his career.
Rashford only managed to score five goals which is the lowest tally since he became a first-team player, even including his first campaign in the senior side in which he only made his debut in February. His performances led to a spell out of the starting XI which in turn caused the striker to consider his future at Old Trafford.

However, Rashford is looking forward to working under new manager Erik ten Hag and is hoping to turn a corner after the toughest period of his career. Saha has offered him advice on how to do so.
"I think he's a terrific player I love him," Saha told PA. "I don't really understand why this happened, yes it could happen but I don't understand why.
"Because this guy has got it all, all the quality, speed, he's got arrogance in his way of dribbling and he can score goals. He needs to come back to basics and a strange one I'm going to say this maybe not to copy Cristiano Ronaldo but to copy maybe some of the other teammates who are young and he needs to back to young Rashford.
"Having that simpleness [sic] in his game, running at players, and that's it. Not thinking about whatever status that he had or he has been given by the press and his entourage. It's a new season.
"He has suffered a lot from that, I'm sure. He is a competitor, he's a fan of Man United. So I'm sure he's looking forward to rectifying everything because he has all the ability in the world to do that, he will be helped by the new manager for sure but by all the players because he's a top guy and I have no doubt he can do it."
