'I can't believe' - Graeme Souness in feisty clash with fellow pundits over Marcus Rashford verdict

Former Liverpool player Graeme Souness has suggested that Manchester United's slim Premier League titles hopes will depend on the fitness of in-form attacker Marcus Rashford.

The Reds cruised to 3-0 victory over Brendan Rodgers' men at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Rashford (2) and Jadon Sancho both on the scoresheet for Erik ten Hag's side. The home side were lucky to be level at the half-time break, but United came out of the blocks firing in the second period and were worthy winners in the end.

Leicester had a number opportunities to take the lead in the first half, but David de Gea was in superb form and made two spectacular saves to deny the visitors. The Reds had Rashford to thanks once again, with the England international having now registered 24 goals and eight assists in 36 appearances this season.

Rashford has only missed two matches through injury all season, but Souness has insisted that the Reds would not be winning without the 25-year-old, before suggesting that an injury to the forward could potentially derail the club's season. However, former Chelsea frontman Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink disagreed - claiming that Ten Hag's side would manage without the England ace.

Liverpool have undoubted quality with people coming back into the squad.
