Ronaldo sends signed jersey to Rashford

Cristiano Ronaldo has sent a signed shirt to Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

The Real Madrid star personalised one of his jerseys with a message of support to the young England international, which read: “To Marcus, keep up the good work.”

Rashford later thanked Ronaldo on Twitter for the gesture.

The 20-year-old, who came off the bench on Saturday as United beat Tottenham 2-1 to reach the FA Cup final, has previously described Ronaldo as something of an idol for youngsters at Old Trafford.

“I used to watch a lot of him growing up, all of his games,” he told the Telegraph. “He was a top player who won a lot of things in his career, so when you know he’s saying good things about you then it really stands out.
