Gary Neville reckons Marcus Rashford is better suited to playing as a central striker after starting up front again for Manchester United against Arsenal.

Rashford, 24, struggled throughout the 2021/2022 campaign and only netted five times in all competitions, but the England forward has been revived since Erik ten Hag stepped into the dugout.

After impressing on the left-hand side in pre-season, Rashford has operated in a more central role this season with Anthony Martial out injured.

Both of his goals against Arsenal, though, came while he was playing off the left flank following the introduction of Cristiano Ronaldo on the 58-minute mark.
