Rashford will never be a striker for as long as he stays at Man Utd - Shearer

The legendary Premier League frontman feels a lack of minutes in a central role is costing England and may force the youngster into a domestic move

Marcus Rashford will never be a striker at Manchester United and may need to leave if he is to prove himself in that position, says Alan Shearer.

The 20-year-old forward has made no secret of the fact that he sees himself as a central frontman.

He has, however, been denied the opportunity to prove his worth in that position under Jose Mourinho.

With the United boss preferring to use the fleet-footed youngster in a wider role, his finishing ability has been affected.
