The legendary Brazilian forward has advised the United youngster not to be afraid ahead of his selection into the England Euro squad.
Rashford, 18 has been selected in the England Euro squad, just about three months after he made his debut for Manchester United.
Pele, who was 17 when he won the World Cup in 1958, advised Rashford to have confidence in himself.
The legendary striker is putting up a lot of his personal footballing materials on auction, said:
"It doesn’t matter about age. It is important to be prepared. Never, never, never be afraid. Don't be afraid." (Via Daily Mail).
Pele admits that the pressure in football has increased compared d to his own era, where communication was still crude.
"In my time I didn’t have so many pressures with the TV, the radio, the communications.
"Now there is a big pressure. But if he has a good support from the team I think he has to have confidence and trust himself." He added.
Rashford has enjoyed a great start to his career, and it would be fascinating to see what role he would play in the England team in France.
