Rashford misses too many chances and isn't a natural goalscorer like Lukaku - Merson

The former England international says the Manchester United forward has not shown himself to be deserving of the central striking role he craves

Marcus Rashford is “not a natural goalscorer” and has not done enough to earn a central striking berth for Manchester United and England, says Paul Merson.

The 20-year-old frontman has stated in the past that he hopes to operate down the middle for club and country once fully established as a senior star.

He has, however, been stuck in wider berths by both Jose Mourinho and Gareth Southgate on a regular basis.
