Solskjaer’s final four years as a player at Old Trafford were alongside the Portuguese superstar.
He then joined the coaching staff so got a close up view of Ronaldo’s final couple of seasons as a United player.
Asked if he saw similarities with Rashford, he said: “It’s very easy to compare the two of them, yeah.
“Both with skills, body shape, attitude, attributes – everything. The boy has every chance in the world to become a top, top player.
“Let’s hope he continues like this.”
Rashford’s goal in the Manchester derby on Saturday means he has 10 in his last 11 appearances for United.

But Solskjaer is not setting his young forward any targets – he just wants to see him keep on scoring.
He said: “I don’t want to talk about the amount of goals.
“As long as he keeps being positive and being direct and thinking about getting in front of the goal and getting chances, he’ll score goals.”
