Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he doesn't regard Marcus Rashford as a natural striker.

Ferguson praised Rashford's stunning goalscoring form that has seen him bag 25 goals in all competitions for the Red Devils - a career best for the England international - but warned more players need to be contributing goals.

"I don't think he's a striker. He operates away from the left-hand side and has been fantastic," Sir Alex told Sky Sports.

"His finishing is always good, always keeps his shots down which is really important for a striker and is in a great vein of form.

"Unfortunately for us, he's the main source of goals we could do with an extra one, but he's doing it."
