Manchester United striker Mark Rushford in two England matches in September marked two goals, striking the gates of Spain and Switzerland.

The head coach of the "three lions" appreciates the attacker, but also understands that he needs to work a lot more.

"He - a special talent," - quotes Southgate Goal. - "We must remember that Harry Kane at this age almost did not play for Tottenham".

"You can even compare Rushford with those who have made a huge breakthrough in their careers. Some of the crossover and various tricks that Cristiano Ronaldo was doing at this age were incredible, but he did not convert them into as many goals as now ".

"So we have to give Marcus time to grow. He has already played many matches and scored many goals. Perhaps he lacks stability, but I'm pleased that he is full of confidence ".

Comparing Rushford with Cristiano - in the first three seasons at Old Trafford, the Englishman scored 32 goals in 123 matches, while the Portuguese - 27 in 137.
