Marcus Rashford can take Manchester United no where. Marcus is a briliant player everyone can agree but he is not like CR7 or Messi , so this means that he can’t take United anywhere alone.
“I think Marcus enjoys it more, he looks better certainly, in the position we saw tonight,” Shearer said on Amazon Prime.
“He’s been given a little bit of freedom – if he wants to go down the middle at times, he can.
“But when he’s got all that space to run into from out wide, he’s a better player in doing that and he’s very, very good at doing that.
“In terms of him being a centre-forward, he lacks that killer instinct, that natural ability to think ‘yeah, I’m going to get in there, I’m going to get the two or three yarders’.
“But there’s no doubting his ability, he’s a fantastic player.”
“I do feel that Rashford is better on the left, he will contribute a decent number of goals each year,” said the former Liverpool and Real Madrid forward.
“But he’s not going to be the Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Robin van Persie, the Wayne Rooney who scores 30-plus goals a season.
“Obviously he is a huge asset to this football club, gives them something different, gives them pace, gives them directness.”
“I’d certainly look to go into the market to see if they could find a centre-forward,” added Shearer.
“But that’s easier said than done as that many clubs are looking for that guy that can go out and get you 25 goals a season.”
Owen added: “Rashford should be getting 20 a season if you include all the cups. In terms of the league, if he gets 15 that would be a very good return.
“But I think Manchester United need that number nine – whether it’s Martial or another player.”
