THE battle could be one to see who takes the free-kicks for Manchester United – as new £55million signing Bruno Fernandes has a set-piece which mirrors Marcus Rashford’s.
Striker Rashford is crocked at the moment so will not be taking free-kicks for a while.
That will give the former Sporting Lisbon captain time to bed in after his big move and show what he can do with his deliveries.
Fernandes is set to make his United debut against Wolves tonight and is is sure to take any free-kicks which might come his new side’s way.
Footage emerged of him hitting a magnificent free-kick in Lisbon’s derby against Benfica.
He bent the effort from 25 yards out into the top right corner.
But Lisbon lost that match 2-1.
It was exactly the same as one Rashford scored for United at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup last 16 in October.
England striker Rashford scored his superb free-kick late on to send United through with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
His effort was much better as it was at least 30 yards out.
It sailed over the Chelsea wall and into the top right corner.
Not since the days of David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have United had two world-class free-kick specialists.
