Who Is Better – Marcus Rashford or Bukayo Saka?

on February 28, 2023 at 9:16 am

They are two of the most exciting young stars of English football but who is better – Marcus Rashford or Bukayo Saka?

Rashford has been in the form of his life recently for Man United with goal involvements in what feels like every game over the past month. The Red Devils winger is now up to 14 Premier League goals this season.

Bukayo Saka is also in incredible form for his club Arsenal. The young England international has an impressive nine goals and eight assists in league action this season.

We enlisted the help of Arsenal legend Emmanuel Petit to give us his take on who he would rather have on his team between the two players. Petit also told us what he thinks Arsenal need to do in the summer to improve their side.

Marcus Rashford or Bukayo Saka?

Who would you rather have in your squad, Rashford and Saka?

I would love to take both Rashford and Bukayo Saka on my team. Rashford was so miserable last season and he was losing his confidence, but now he is a completely different player and back to perfect standards. He is also very clinical.

Saka however is very important for Arsenal and does great things on the pitch and I love the pair of them. I am a massive fan of Saka and the way he plays – I think he will be the captain of Arsenal in the years to come.

Both players are so important and clinical for their clubs. I think they could compete for the Ballon d’Or, if they keep playing the way they are. But as a Gunner I would stick with Bukayo Saka.

Leandro Trossard A Good Signing For Arsenal

How smart was Arteta to sign Leandro Trossard?

Leandro Trossard is a good addition to the team. For a team that is going to play every three days, they need a fit squad and Arteta will want to compete. So bringing in Jorginho and Trossard are very good value signings. When you are new to a club, and you come into a team that has a good dynamic already – like Arsenal do this season – it is very easy to fit in.

At a club like Chelsea for example it is not the same. There are negative things everywhere and it is not easy for new players to adapt very quickly.Trossard scored am important goal against Brentford. I believe he is doing good things, though he is not a first team player. However he needs to understand Arsenal more in terms of tactics and movement. It is a different ball game with Arsenal compared to Brighton.

Will Arsenal Sign Declan Rice In The Summer?

Should Arsenal target Declan Rice in the summer or should they target Bellingham instead?

I’m a big fan of Declan rice, it is time for him to leave West Ham and play at a higher level to reach his potential. He needs to play in important competitions every single season if he wants to improve and move on to the next stage.

I think that he is struggling at West Ham and he does not have a good environment to adapt and improve. I’m also still a big fan of Mac Allister and Caicedo from Brighton, since I first saw them play. I know Arsenal won’t try and buy them all, but they would also fit next to Rice really well.

It also wouldn’t be much of a big move, geographically, for Rice as he his located in London with West Ham, so the move won’t hurt too much. But with all due respect to West Ham, it is time for Rice to go. It reminds me of Lampard when he first left West Ham and went to Chelsea and look what he achieved for himself.

He became one of the best midfielders in the world at Chelsea. Rice should follow his example and leave given Arsenal are ready to buy him.
