Former Italian international Antonio Cassano believes that Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are better than AC Milan’s Rafael Leao – and the forward seems to agree with him. 

Cassano has named the Man Utd pair, along with Liverpool’s Luis Diaz and Barcelona sensation Ansu Fati as superior players to Leao, and said that he doesn’t make enough of a difference in games. 

The comments made have raised eyebrows in Italy, as he discussed the merits of the Portuguese forward.

‘He would not be a regular starter in the best teams in Europe,’ Cassano told Bobo TV on Monday.

‘Liverpool have Luis Diaz. Barcelona have Ansu Fati who is 19-year-old. Leao plays in Serie A, not a top league.

‘To me, Sancho and Rashford are better than Leao, Sancho is phenomenal. Leao is a mix between Dembélé and Martial. He is not worth €150m he doesn’t score 50 goals per season, therefore he doesn’t really make the difference.’

However, the 23-year-old hasn’t let Cassano’s opinion bother him, and liked an article on his Twitter feed that had reported on the quotes from the ex-Italy striker. 

Leao showed he doesn’t care about Cassano’s opinion by liking an article about his views

Cassano's comments on Haaland have come back to haunt him after he said the striker would struggle to fit in a Pep Guardiola side

Cassano’s comments on Haaland have come back to haunt him after he said the striker would struggle to fit in a Pep Guardiola side 

It’s not the first time the AC Milan star has waved off criticism on his performances on his social media. In August, he liked a meme on Twitter that was comparing him to former Milan flop M’Baye Niang. 

Cassano’s comments look somewhat unwarranted as the forward has hit four goals in the first 9 games for the Serie A this season – more than both Rashford and Sancho for Manchester United. 

The 40-year-old, who played for the Rossoneri in the 2011-12 season, is gaining a reputation for making outlandish comments and recently came under fire for his views on Erling Haaland. 

Suggesting at the start of the season that the Norwegian would struggle under Pep Guardiola after his move to Manchester City. 

Haaland has instead quashed those opinions by scoring 17 goals in his first 11 games for the Premier League champions.
