Manchester United's top scorer of the 2022-23 season across all competitions with 30 goals, Marcus Rashford has recently named his dream five-a-side team excluding Manchester United and England players. While naming the players, Rashford showed his admiration for the five-time UCL winner after realising he can't pick the Portuguese legend in his team.
The 25-year-old Man United forward, who registered his career-high 17 goals in 35 Premier League matches this season, came close to levelling Cristiano Ronaldo's 2021-22 season stats of 18 goals in 30 matches in the Premier League.
In a viral video on social media, Rashford was seen dribbling the ball while he was asked to pick his dream five-a-side team. However, England and Manchester United's former and current players were unavailable for the selection. Rashford showed his love for Cristiano as he said, "So, I can't pick Ronaldo?" Rashford went on to name his team as he said, "Brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, (Lionel) Messi, Dida, and Cafu."

Meanwhile, Manchester United, who stand a chance to win their second trophy this season after winning the Carabao Cup against Newcastle United, are scheduled to face city rivals Manchester City at the Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup 2023 final. The match between Premier League 2022-23 champions and the Red Devils will take place on Saturday, June 3.
Recently, the Man United forward won Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards during the Manchester United annual awards. United largely rely on Marcus Rashford's brilliance to claim a second silverware this season as Erik ten Hag's Man United will look to dominate their opponents, Man City.
