Manchester United star Marcus Rashford reveals he can take free-kicks like Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo… he just hasn’t shown it yet

MANCHESTER UNITED star Marcus Rashford says he can take free-kicks like Old Trafford legend Cristiano Ronaldo - but says he has not shown it yet.
The 19-year-old forward has become a key part of the Red Devils first-team since his stunning breakthrough two seasons ago.
And now he is even getting set-piece responsibility in Jose Mourinho's side.
He demonstrated his dead-ball capabilities on Saturday as he set-up a Marouane Fellaini to head home in United's 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
However, despite only scoring once for the club from a free-kick against Celta Vigo in April, he insists his ability is just as good as the Real Madrid superstar - but he tries to do things his own way.
Rashford, referring to that Europa League strike against the Spaniards, said: "No, it's actually different.
"I can do it like he (Ronaldo) does it but I haven't done it yet."
Ronaldo became famous for his stunning technique from free-kicks during his six years at the Theatre of Dreams.
