Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer compared Marcus Rashford's free kick against Chelsea to those scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Rashford hit a stunning free kick in the second half to give his team a narrow 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge in the Carabao Cup.

It moves them into the quarter finals, and Solskjaer was full of praise for Rashford after the game.

"It was very Cristiano-like, wasn't it? The boy has got nerves of steel," Solskjaer told MUTV.

"Takes a penalty, no problem, steps up and hits the ball like he does and wins us the game. Fantastic."

He added: "I think he works too much on [those free kicks]! You know what I've always said is to get Marcus inside the box and scoring simple tap-ins. He always scores great goals, Marcus! He practices and today he got his reward.

"Of course, great character, great mentality [as well].

"I told him this morning, 'When we get a penalty, if we do, you take it, just make your mind up when you're going to put it.'

"Sweet as you like."
