Another day I said Saka is way better than Rashford and I got roasted here. Today he is proving me right🔥

Most United fans don't want to admit that Saka is better than Rashford currently.

Saka is something else. Genuinely what is stopping him from winning a balon dor at some point in his career?

Remember when City fans insisted Foden was better than Saka?

Big picture for Saka
Saka was Arsenal's best player last season, pulling the Gunners within a few points of the PL title, ultimately falling short in the end. His meteoric rise has also seen him become one of England's most important players ahead of next year's Euros.
