Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer likened Marcus Rashford to Paris Saint-Germain sensation Kylian Mbappe as he hailed both players ahead of the looming Champions League tie.<\/p>\n

And Solskjaer \u2013 contracted until the end of the season \u2013 believes Rashford is United’s answer to PSG’s 20-year-old World Cup winner Mbappe.<\/p>\n

“Marcus is going to be a top-quality player. I love working with him. I am sure PSG will look at Marcus the way we look at Mbappe \u2013 he’s one of the main threats,” Solskjaer said following Saturday’s 3-0 Premier League win at lowly Fulham.<\/p>\n

“Mbappe had a fantastic rise to stardom and he’s got a fantastic smile about him. A great enthusiasm. And there will understandably be comparisons.<\/p>\n

“I have seen Mbappe live once and Marcus every single day. Strikers don’t really dominate football but the pair of them will have a massive impression on football for the next 10 years. They will really light it up.”<\/p>\n

With Neymar already sidelined through injury and doubts over Edinson Cavani and Marco Verratti, Mbappe will shoulder a lot of PSG’s hopes in Manchester.<\/p>\n

Discussing the Champions League showdown, Solskjaer added: “Neymar is very, very good, our fans would love to see him \u2014 and the players would love to have played against him.<\/p>\n

“One of the things I most remember is playing the best \u2014 [Zinedine] Zidane, Ronaldo, [Luis] Figo, [Paolo] Maldini \u2014 you look forward to testing yourself against the best.<\/p>\n

“That’s how we were and I’m sure these boys would’ve loved to play against him. But we’re playing a team which still has top quality players and we will need to perform at our very best.”<\/p>\n

The Old Trafford outfit come into the match off the back of a 3-0 win over Fulham on Saturday, while PSG earned a 1-0 Ligue 1 result against Bordeaux.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
