Sir Alex: ‘Rashford is fantastic, but he is not the striker, we need one’

The win against Newcastle at Wembley brought a smile to United’s most successful manager – Sir Alex Ferguson. He ran to congratulate Erik ten Hag, they took a picture with the League Cup trophy, he was invited to the locker room to celebrate with the players, and he didn’t spare words after the final. In previous years, he kept quiet for most of the time, as he didn’t want his comments to influence the players and the club. Now, he felt he had something and someone to praise. Marcus Rashford continued to terrorize opponents, scoring his 25th goal of the season and currently seems unstoppable. He will definitely be a major competitor to Erling Haaland for the Premier League Player of the Year.Man Utd player chanting “Wembley, Wembley We’re the famous Man Utd & We’re going to Wembley with Sir Alex Ferguson involved.❤️😍🎶 pic.twitter.com/ll52Uwhhi6— 𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗴’𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘀 ✍🏼🇳🇱 (@TenHagBall_) February 27, 2023 Sir Alex Ferguson is happy that United has such a striker, but also worries a little… Because what will happen when he stops scoring so often, which will surely happen at one point?“I don’t think he’s a striker. He operates from the left-hand side fantastic, his finishing is always good, always keeps his shots down which is really important for a striker and he’s in a great vein of form. Unfortunately for us, Rashford is the main source of goals, we could do with an extra one – but he’s doing it” said Sir Alex in his rare appearance on Sky Sports.King Casemiro, the professional trophy lifterSo, a proper striker is the first on the list of needs for United this offseason, and even if a current loanee Wout Weghorst manages to convince Ten Hag to buy him, the Red Devils will still need a top quality number 9. But surely the Dutch coach already knows that. Ten Hag so far managed to show he is up to the task, which was confirmed by Ferguson himself.“Erik mentioned it this morning, and I think he’s right. United are based on success and he’s going the right way about it. His signings have been really good, I think that was important. And he’s got a grip of the club which is really, really big for him. When you come to United, you try and get off to a good start right away and he’s doing well, he really is” said Ferguson.##NAJAVA_MECA_7049886##
