"But you have to do more. There is no doubt about that. He's not world class, he's probably a level below that. "If Manchester United want to get back to winning the league or winning the European Cup, which is what they should always be judged against, Marcus Rashford can’t be your best attacker.Former United captain Roy Keane said Rashford was"struggling" this season and believes it could be hangover from signing his new five-year contract worth a reported £325,000 per week earlier this year.
