Match with Southampton ‘will teach me more about my players’ than Liverpool, Arsenal clashes: Amorim
Manchester United are seeking a first Premier League win since the derby triumph away to Manchester City on December 15.
Heaping praises on Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, club legend Paul Scholes has said that the forward is clever enough to have a link with the midfield player.
“I always remember watching him, mainly in the reserve team, and he was an out and out centre-forward,” says Scholes the UTD Podcast, which will be released on Monday night.

“Sometimes I would go to games and just watch him, and not really watch where the ball was. I’d look for his movement – is he clever enough to have that link with a midfield player? I think he has that.

“I was really excited when he first got into the team, a little bit luckily at first – I think there was an injury to someone. But ever since he has got into the team, he has shown the talent he has got as a centre-forward or a player wide on the left.
“I always remember seeing him as a kid and I thought his intelligence and movement was as a centre-forward. He looked like an out-and-out number nine, but now when you see him in games, he seems to enjoy it more from the left-hand side,” he added.
Rashford has scored 19 goals in the 2019-20 season for the Red Devils. Notably, this is the striker’s best tally at United so far.
