Manchester United fans say the same thing after watching Marcus Rashford skill against Brighton

Manchester United fans have compared Marcus Rashford to Brazilian legend Ronaldinho after witnessing his amazing piece of skill against Brighton in the second half.

Rashford was a constant threat to the Seagulls defence and netted United's third goal of the game with a smart finish after some excellent work by Anthony Martial.

The England international should have made it four just minutes later following an incisive counter attack led by Daniel James. The Welsh winger picked out Rashford in the centre but the forward got his finish all wrong.

Nevertheless, the 21-year-old was quick to make amends, delighting the Old Trafford crowd with a wonderful piece of skill that left Davy Propper helpless.

Rashford put the ball through the Brighton midfielder's legs with an elastico before darting into the penalty area and directing a low shot at Mathew Ryan.

United fans were amazed by his trickery and compared the youngster to Ronaldinho - a player who made the skill move his own at Barcelona.

They took to social media to react.

Here is what they had to say:
