Rashford: 'I think Messi is the greatest ever'

The debate that pits Ronaldo against Messi has been carrying on for a very long time, despite both players admitting that they do not seek out the comparisons, and Rashford has weighed in with his opinion on the subject.

The 20-year-old told 'CNN': ''I have to say Messi - some of the stuff that he does is unbelievable. I'm a big fan of Roanldo as well but I think Messi is the greatest ever.''

Perhaps Rashford's comments may come as a bit of a shock for the Real Madrid striker, given that the pair have struck up a friendship over social media in recent months.

As for the greatest player that Rashford has ever played alongside, he said: ''Wayne Rooney is the best player I've ever played with. A legend.'' Given the wealth of talent that the youngster plays alongside, Rooney has earnt quite the accolade.
