Owen: Rashford is good, but less cruel in the penalty box

Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen admits Marcus Rashford has good talent. However, according to Owen, the 21-year-old player was less cruel in the penalty box.

"Rashford has an extraordinary touch and general skills that I have never had, but he doesn't have the killer instinct I have, players like Robbie Fowler, Sergio Aguero or Harry Kane are obsessed with. I don't think Rashford is like that," said Owen Soccerway.

Rashford has been United's main striker this season, after the transfers of Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan. However, Rashford's performance was quite alarming.

He has scored two goals in his inaugural week against Chelsea. However, after that, he never put his name back on the dashboard.

"You can certainly improve your finances, but I don't think you can improve your instincts, I know Rashford was never a central striker in his childhood."

"He always wants to play wide or number ten and I know that his coach at the academy always encourages him to follow the ball and be a goal scorer, it is never really his wish, he always comes out of the area of ​​improvement, with a little touch and so on," Owen said .

"Rashford will always score a decent amount of goals and he's a very talented player, but when you talk about Aguero, who is cool and keeps thinking about goals, I don't think Rashford is like that," he said. said Owen.
