Marcus Rashford is not a striker. Playing him there does not solve a problem; buying a striker does. It's what Sir Alex would do...
Marcus Rashford is a brilliant forward, but Manchester United used to have at least three of them. Playing him in the middle isn’t a solution; buying someone as good as him to play in the middle is.
One off-hand comment from the legendary Manchester United manager is enough to end a debate that should never have been. “He operates from the left-hand side which is fantastic,”, with an ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ air, which when combined with acknowledgement of who’s talking, is enough to make anyone suggesting Rashford should play as the United No.9 feel very foolish indeed.
Asked about his preferred position in December, Rashford said: “I think it depends on opposition, it depends on the personality you’re playing against. More often than not I prefer to play on the left but if there’s a weakness in the middle or if there’s a certain player I feel I can exploit I like to have the freedom to move and do that.”Fergie, and also, in quite the welcome omen for Manchester United fans, seemingly very Ten Hag.
