'Load of rubbish' - Rashford proving 'not a natural goalscorer' pundits wrong, says Man Utd academy coach

With the striker well on his way to getting 20 goals in the league this season, it should provide food for thought for the ex-England man

Manchester United academy coach Colin Little has hailed Marcus Rashford for proving the pundits wrong, having been previously criticised for not being efficient enough in front of goal.

The 22-year-old has enjoyed his most productive season to date in the Premier League, scoring 14 goals in just 22 appearances – surpassing his previous best of 10, which was achieved last term and took him 33 outings to accumulate.

Calling out Michael Owen – a former United striker – Little says he is frustrated to see pundits claim that players are born with a scoring instinct that cannot be taught.
