Despite not being able to prevent a defeat for Manchester United in their Europa League outing, the club legend thinks the young striker deserves to keep his starting berth
Paul Scholes believes Marcus Rashford has done enough to keep his starting place at Manchester United and urged Jose Mourinho not to drop him.
Teen sensation Rashford, 18, made his first start of the new campaign in Thursday's Europa League opener against Feyenoord after he made decisive contributions off the bench against Hull City and Manchester City in the Premier League.
However, the match at De Kuip ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Old Trafford outfit, with Rashford unable to force a breakthrough.
Nevertheless, Red Devils legend Scholes believes Mourinho should keep the faith in Rashford by starting him against Watford on Sunday.
"I think he did enough last week in the Manchester derby,” Scholes told BT Sport when asked whether Rashford should retain his starting berth against Watford. “He gave [Man City defender Bacary] Sagna a real tough time.
"He's got great ability to run at a player. He looked like he had a goal in him.
"I think the left-hand side and right-hand side are problems for United. I don't think those positions are set in stone for anybody. There's a chance there.
"I think Marcus is the best one to play in that position, especially at Watford."
