Sir Alex Ferguson names Marcus Rashford’s best position and sets task for Erik ten Hag

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Marcus Rashford’s best position is from the left wing, rather than as the central striker, and has encouraged Erik ten Hag to find another goal threat to share the goal-scoring burden.

Rashford was awarded United’s second goal of the 2-0 Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle on Sunday after the effort was initially chalked as an own goal from Sven Botman.

It means the 25-year-old now has 25 goals to his name this season, having scored 17 times in his 19 outings since the World Cup, where he netted three times for the England international. Sir Alex was at Wembley for the final and met Erik ten Hag in the tunnel after the trophy lift.
