Whether Hughton will decide he is worth changing to 4-4-2 and promoting Connolly over Locadia and Andone, (not to mention, Gross, March etc) remains to be seen. A loan is more probable
Not really like Rashford. Connolly is small, kind of stocky, find half a yard in the box and smash it in type. Can't really think of a direct comparison.
That's got to be the next step for him. Need to find the correct club, not a hoofball team. League 1 might be more likely to increase his chances of maximum game time
