Despite the encouraging start, Cole believes Rashford will only truly kick on if he strips his game right back to its roots.

the methods that saw him burst on to the scene in 2016.

"I think as an individual you got to want to do it yourself first and foremost," the former striker, told the Daily Mail at an Evening with the United Masters on behalf of Bookmakers.com.

"Marcus would know that his game has changed to when he got first got into the first team six years ago.

"If I was Marcus, and this is just me I'm talking about what I would do or what I used to do, I would go back to basics. If Marcus asked himself "how did I get into the first-team", when he got into it "what was I doing" and looks at himself now he'll know he's not doing those things.

"So, if you're not doing what you did then, how are you going to get better? Go back to basics.

'"Roy [Keane] has mentioned that he has lost the eye of the tiger and that he has taken eye off the ball. That could well be right but I can't speculate about that part.
