Jamie Carragher explains why Manchester United 'need someone better than Marcus Rashford'

Former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher insists Manchester United will need to find an upgrade on Marcus Rashford if they are to return to the top step of domestic and European football.

United have spent huge amounts of money on attempting to strengthen their attacking options over the last few years, bringing in Jadon Sancho, Antony and Rasmus Hojlund for big-money fees.

Though Hojlund is still adapting to life in England, Sancho and Antony have failed to produce the goods expected of them. It has meant the bulk of the goalscoring responsibility has been loaded on Rashford's shoulders since Erik ten Hag took over as manager.

He scored 30 goals in all competitions last season, producing a series of brilliant performances in the process.
