England striker Marcus Rashford insisted there is ‘no better motivation’ to him than Cristiano Ronaldo and the 20-year-old believes the Portugal forward is the best in the world. Ronaldo has started his World Cup in superb form with four goals from the opening two matches and is currently leading the scoring charts in the race for the Golden Boot.
And for Rashford, Ronaldo – a man he has a personally close relationship with – is currently the best in the world as he continues to improve his own game.
‘He keeps making these moments which are unbelievable and there is no better sort of motivation than him. He is not only maintaining it but he keeps hitting new heights. To get to that level it takes years and years of doing the same things in training every day.’ Rashford said.
While the pair never crossed paths at Manchester United, Ronaldo clearly has a soft spot for the rising England and United striker.
