MANCHESTER UNITED striker Marcus Rashford has been criticised for his form this season - but he's been more prolific than Kylian Mbappe.
League stats show that Rashford has a better minutes-per-goal-ratio that that of the PSG striker believed by many to be rivalling Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi as the best in the world.
Rashford has scored three goals in eight games, playing a total of 686 minutes.
That gives him a minutes-per-goal ratio of 228.7, compared to Mbappe's 276.
The French wonderkid has netted one goal in four Ligue 1 games, playing 276 minutes.
Both players have two assists.
And the pair have once again been linked with a move to Spanish giants Barcelona.
RASHFORD TO REPLACE SUAREZ?
The Catalans are scouring the globe to find a long-term successor to Luis Suarez.
At 32, Suarez is approaching the latter stages of his career prompting Barca to try and plan for the future.
And Ernesto Valverde's side see 20-year-old Mbappe as the perfect replacement to the Uruguayan veteran, according to .
The Spanish outlet claim there are doubts at the Nou Camp whether the club would be able to finance the deal in the next year.
So they would reportedly prefer to move when the France international enters the final year of his contract in 2021.
Despite the young superstar being top of Barca's wish list, they are said to have drawn up a list of potential replacements if the Mbappe deal doesn't come off.
FANS 'DESERVE BETTER'
Harry Kane is on the list but his wage demands could be a problem.
And Liverpool's Roberto Firmino is also highly thought of in Catalonia and could follow the footsteps of fellow Brazilian and former Red Philippe Coutinho, who left Anfield for the Nou Camp in 2018.
A surprising name on the list is Manchester United's Rashford despite his and Manchester United's struggles so far this season.
The England youngster was very vocal of how things are going at Old Trafford in the wake of the the 1-0 loss at Newcastle.
Rashford insisted fans "deserve better" with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men winning just two of their eight league matches so far this term.
