'Ronaldo's vibe' - Manchester United fans rave about Marcus Rashford piece of skill in FA Cup win vs Reading

Marcus Rashford has enjoyed a rich vein of form since his return from the World Cup, and Saturday night's win against Reading was no exception for the 25-year-old.

A first-half headed effort looked to have put United ahead in the first-half but it was ruled out for offside, with Wout Weghorst having strayed beyond the last defender in the build-up. Despite the disappointment of this missed opportunity to become the first United player to score in ten successive matches at Old Trafford, he remained a constant threat.

In the second-half he produced an outrageous piece of skill to bamboozle the Reading defence, picking up the ball on the left-wing before cutting inside and playing a one-two with Wout Weghorst. Following this, he beat right-back Andy Yiadom with a great piece of skill before cutting back with a cheeky rabona before crossing into the box.

It was the kind of skill that exemplifies just why Rashford is in such a great run of form and demonstrates the high levels of confidence he is enjoying at present.

Fans on social media reacted similarly, comparing Rashford to United's Brazilian stars and lauding the England international for his flair.

On Reddit users were raving about the piece of skill.
