Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has told Marcus Rashford to take a more selfish approach in the interest of winning matches, telling his team-mates to "f-----g give me the ball" if necessary.
Rashford, 22, captained United when they lost 3-1 at home to Manchester City in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday, scoring the hosts' only goal.
Berbatov—who won two Premier League titles with United (2009, '11)—wrote in his Betfair column that speedy Rashford must be more demanding if his midfielders are unable to pick him out:
"If I am as quick as Rashford and make three runs and nobody sees me or gives me the ball, on the fourth one I wouldn't waste my energy; it's all psychological.
