Solskjaer said: “It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yes.

It is not the first time Solskjaer has made the comparison this season.
The Norwegian said Rashford’s 29 – yard free-kick against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup was “Cristiano Ronaldo-esque.”
Rash ford is into double figures in the Premier League this season, something he has only achieved once in his career so far.
Solskjaer has stressed that there is added pressure on Rashford to produce more goals this season following the sale of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan in the summer.

But the United boss refuses to set targets for the England international.
“I don’t want to talk about the amount of goals,” he said.
“As long as he keeps being positive and being direct and thinking about getting in front of the goal and getting chances, he’ll score goals.”
