Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskajer admits Marcus Rashford is burned out.

But he admits he "can't really give Marcus Rashford a break" due to United's limited options in attack.

"At the moment we can't really give him a break because we've had injuries," Solskjaer told Sky Sports. "Anthony [Martial] has been out for eight weeks now. So he's had to play loads more football than I'd hoped.

"Marcus is a centre forward who can play left, right and as a No 10. He wants to be able to play all the positions.

"I want him to be facing the goal, I want to be direct and attacking quickly, so at the moment I see him coming in off the left or as part of a two up front.

"Sometimes, because he's a young boy with lots of expectations on his shoulders, he's played four or five seasons now, and yet he's still not even 22 yet.

"He's a scorer of great goals, as he did for England. I want him to become a great goalscorer - and that's a different mentality. At the moment, he's learning his trade."
