Antonio Cassano says Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are better than AC Milan forward Rafael Leao… with the Portuguese striker LIKES the former Italy star’s comments on Twitter
- Antonio Cassano says Man Utd pairing is better than AC Milan star Rafael Leao
- The former Italian striker believes that the Portuguese striker is not worth 150 million euros
- Leao ignores comments by liking the article reporting Cassano’s opinion
- The striker has scored four goals in nine games for the Italian side this season
Former Italian international Antonio Cassano thinks Manchester United pair Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho are better than AC Milan’s Rafael Leao, and the striker seems to agree with him.
Cassano named the Man Utd pair, along with Liverpool’s Luis Diaz and Barcelona sensation Ansu Fati as superior players to Leao, saying it doesn’t make a difference in games.
The comments made have drawn attention in Italy, as he discussed the merits of the Portuguese striker.
Rafael Leao has been the subject of comments from former Italy star Antonio Cassano

“He wouldn’t be a regular starter for the best teams in Europe,” Cassano told Bobo TV on Monday.
Liverpool have Luis Diaz. Barcelona has Ansu Fati, 19 years old. Leao plays in Serie A, not in a higher league.
‘For me, Sancho and Rashford are better than Leao, Sancho is phenomenal. Leao is a mix between Dembélé and Martial. He is not worth 150 million euros, he does not score 50 goals per season, therefore he does not really make a difference.”
However, the 23-year-old hasn’t let Cassano’s opinion bother him and liked an article on his Twitter account reporting on the former Italy striker’s dating.
Leao showed that he doesn’t care about Cassano’s opinion by liking an article about his views.

Cassano’s comments about Haaland came back to haunt him after he said the striker would have a hard time fitting into a Pep Guardiola side.
It is not the first time that the AC Milan star has rejected criticism of his performances on his social networks. In August, he liked a Twitter meme that compared him to former Milan flop M’Baye Niang.
Cassano’s comments seem somewhat unwarranted as the striker has scored four goals in his first 9 Serie A games this season, more than Rashford and Sancho for Manchester United.
The 40-year-old, who played for the Rossoneri in the 2011-12 season, is developing a reputation for making outlandish comments and was recently criticized for his views on Erling Haaland.
Suggesting at the start of the season that the Norwegian would have problems with Pep Guardiola after his move to Manchester City.
Instead, Haaland overturned those views by scoring 17 goals in his first 11 games for the Premier League champions.
