Jamie Redknapp has labelled Marcus Rashford's brilliant match-winning free-kick against Chelsea the stuff of greatness.
The Carabao Cup fourth round clash was finely poised when the Red Devils won the free-kick 30 yards from goal, Rashford having already scored from the penalty spot before Michy Batshuayi's equaliser.
And Rashford made the most of the opportunity with a unstoppable knuckleball effort that swerved its way past a despairing Willy Caballero.
'I’ve seen a lot of free kicks, and that’s right up there,' said Sky pundit Redknapp.
'You see Roger Federer, all the greats from different sports, they make it look effortless.
'As he strikes that it’s so easy. It looks like he’s just trying to clip the ball into the box. As it hits the net it looks like it’s going faster.
'You (Darren Fletcher) played with David Beckham who was one of the greatest. You used to have to put the movement on the ball.
'These days, with the ball, the technique, getting that knuckle ball effect. Juninho used to do it, (Didier) Drogba, (Cristiano) Ronaldo, the goal he scored against Portsmouth.
'It’s not so much the players, it’s almost the ball, you’re trying to make it wobble. When we played you wanted to try and make it curve and make it do it itself. This ball is perfect for players.
