‘Rashford won’t be a clinical centre-forward like Cavani’ – Man Utd striker can’t be relied upon to get 20 goals, says Cole

Marcus Rashford is never “going to be a clinical centre-forward like Edinson Cavani” says Andy Cole, with Manchester United told they cannot rely on their highly-rated academy graduate to net 20 goals a season.

The talented 23-year-old passed that mark for the first time in his career last season, finding the target on 22 occasions across all competitions.

He is already up to 16 for the current campaign, but 1999 treble winner Cole believes the experienced Uruguayan snapped up as a free agent last summer is the most predatory finisher on the books at Old Trafford.
