Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has spoken candidly about the immense trust he places in his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rashford, who finished as the top scorer for Man United last season, believes that Ronaldo is the only player he can completely rely on when faced with a challenging situation.

During an appearance on Gary Neville's The Overlap's YouTube channel, the ex-footballer turned pundit playfully quizzed Rashford on which player he believes could convert a 90th-minute penalty to save his life.

After careful consideration, the England international confidently named Ronaldo as his ideal candidate for such a critical task.

"Who to take a last-minute penalty to save my life? Cristiano Ronaldo. 100%," he said as quoted by CristianoXtra on Twitter.

Statistically speaking, Rashford's choice is well-founded. The Al-Nassr captain has an impressive track record of 152 successful penalties out of 181 taken, with only 29 misses, according to Transfermarkt.

This remarkable record translates to an astounding 83.97 per cent success rate, making Cristiano Ronaldo an incredibly reliable choice from the penalty spot whenever the opportunity arises.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford has expressed his opinion on who he considers to be the top player in the English Premier League currently.

During a conversation with Gary Neville at his training camp in Portugal, Rashford revealed his thoughts, stating, "Last season, it was definitely Haaland, but over the past four or five years, De Bruyne, 100%," he said as quoted by SportBIBLE.

This response has garnered significant attention on social media, likely due to the intense rivalry between Rashford's Manchester United and De Bruyne's Manchester City.

Rashford among players tipped for greatness

Sports Brief also reported on the six players Ronaldo believed had a chance to shine in a few years and where they are now.

Back in 2017, having helped Real Madrid secure the La Liga title, a second-successive Champions League triumph, and picking up his fourth Ballon d'Or, the Portuguese was in a privileged position to posit who might go on to achieve as much success in the future.

Among the players Ronaldo foresaw achieving great success were the Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe and Marcus Rashford. It's remarkable to witness how these two players, among others, have blossomed and realized their potential since Ronaldo's prediction.
