Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford takes free-kicks in a way that Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo does.
This is according to Red Devils legend Paul Scholes, who has insisted that we're yet to see the youngster's ability from a dead ball situation.
18-year-old Rashford burst onto the scene last month by netting twice against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League on his first start for the club.
He followed that up by hitting a brace against Premier League rivals Arsenal just three days later and has been an ever-present in Louis van Gaal's side since.
Despite the club's indifferent form, the Manchester-born attacker has excited the Old Trafford crowd in recent weeks, but Scholes believes that there is even more to come from the player.
When speaking about the youngster, Scholes stated, as per the Manchester Evening News: "Marcus Rashford, however, is no surprise to me at all. I've seen him play since he was 14 or 15 and then in Paul McGuinness' side.
"He's obviously only played a few times for the first team and his goals have been what you'd call 'goalscorers' goals' but he's got much so much more than that.
After Scholes' comments, United fans will be hoping to see Rashford take a free-kick in a dangerous area in the near future.
While some fans may well dismiss Scholes' comments comparing the youngster's free-kicks to Ronaldo's, others may well remember the striker's hit against Tottenham in an academy match last year.
This most definitely proves that the gifted teenager can hit the ball like the Manchester United legend...
