Michael Owen says Manchester United need to bring in a centre-forward who can score as many goals as Marcus Rashford in order to be among the title favourites next season.
Rashford has netted 21 goals this season, the latest of which came in Sunday’s 2-0 win over Leeds. Owen said the attacker is “carrying” United scoring-wise at the moment and that Erik ten Hag needs to bring in a centre-forward who can contribute amid Anthony Martial’s inconsistent form and fitness struggles.
Speaking on Premier League Productions, he said: “People questioned when [Cristiano] Ronaldo left [in November], who can score the goals. Martial has never done it consistently. Rashford, you wouldn’t say he’s prolific would you until this season?
