Manchester Unitedlegend Andy Cole insistsMarcus Rashfordis not the answer to the club’s problems in front of goal.

The 21 – year-old has been used as a center forward since Anthony Martial’s injury at the end of August but he’s scored just once during that time and that came from the spot againstLeicester City.

Rashford was mainly used as a left winger asJose Mourinhobut the departures of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku have given him a chance to impress up front.

He’s yet to take that opportunity and Cole agrees with England manager Gareth Southgate that Rashford is not an out-and-out center forward.

‘He doesn’t really enjoy it with his back to goal and he wants to pick it up and run at the defender,’ said Cole.

‘He is a super talent but he has to decide now what he wants to be.

‘Does he want to be a goalscorer or does he want to play off the left or right?

‘He’s 21 so I’d like to believe he knows what his strongest position is.

‘But if you are going to play as a center forward for Manchester United, you have got to be looking to get yourself 20 Goals.

‘His best return in a season so far is 13 and if that is your best return, and you are the main striker, you are going to have to get yourself a few more. ‘

Rashford will have another chance to impress against Newcastle United on Sunday.

The Red Devils are without an away win in their last ten matches and are set to be without Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba for the trip to the north-east.
