Marcus Rashford told how to emulate Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United

Manchester United flop Kleberson has told Marcus Rashford that he must start 'demanding goals' if he is to match the achievements of Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.

Ronaldo burst onto the scene at Old Trafford thanks to his goal-scoring exploits, netting four goals in his first two appearances for the club.

Four years on from his breakthrough into the United first-team Rashford has netted 47 goals in 171 matches for the club, with many of his appearances coming from out wide.

However, following the departure of Romelu Lukaku in the summer transfer window, England international Rashford has been tasked with leading the line for United in the new season.

Rashford netted an impressive brace on the opening weekend of the Premier League weekend and Kleberson believes the 'unbelievable' forward has what it takes to become the main man for United.

However, the Brazilian World Cup winner believes Rashford must start demanding more goals if he is to achieve the same legacy as Ronaldo did at the club.

“If Rashford plays like he did last weekend, he’ll score at least 18 goals this season," told us-bookies.com. "He's unbelievable and he only needs one opportunity to score. He’s had a great start and now has the confidence to continue.

"Now he has to take his chance and demand goals like Cristiano Ronaldo did at Man United. He has to look at his goals last season and say ‘I want to score more this year’.”
