Manchester United star Marcus Rashford won’t fulfil world-class potential at Old Trafford, says Jamie Carragher
Carragher reckons Rashford will never start ahead of Romelu Lukaku as the club's main and reckons he should leave for chances elsewhere
MARCUS RASHFORD may have to leave Manchester United if he is to fulfil his destiny of becoming a world-class striker.
That’s according to pundit and former Liverpool ace Jamie Carragher, who reckons that Rashford will never displace Romelu Lukaku as United’s go-to poacher.
The 20-year-old has been converted into a winger by Jose Mourinho, and his goal record is suffering as a result.
However, Rashford has shown he is able to put them away when playing as a centre-forward.
The wonder kid scored in each of England’s last two matches against Spain and Switzerland while leading the line for Gareth Southgate’s side.
But Carragher reckons Rashford will never get that chance at Old Trafford, and may have to look elsewhere in order to progress.
Carragher told Sky Sports: “I don’t see Rashford ever displacing Lukaku so long as he is there.
“Lukaku was at Chelesa and he had to come away from there and go to Everton. He ended up top scorer and then got his move to United.
“Everton is a club where someone like a Rashford knows he can play every week.
“Last season, he played poorly against Brighton, Mourinho had a pop at him and Lukaku went straight back in the next game. That is the problem he will always have.”
