Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has been urged to give Marcus Rashford a central role in the Red Devils attack by former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright.

And after the teenager was left on the bench for the 3-1 win in Swansea, he has the chance to do so after Zlatan Ibrahimovic was given his fifth yellow card of the season in south Wales, meaning he will miss the clash with Arsenal on November 19 through suspension, report the Manchester Evening News .

Rashford burst onto the scene last season with a sensational scoring record under Louis van Gaal.

New manager Mourinho has largely used the Wythenshawe ace on the wings since taking over at Old Trafford, though he did score one of his four goals this campaign when thrown on as a central striker alongside Ibrahimovic at Hull.

But Premier League goalscoring legend Ian Wright wants to see Rashford played down the middle all the time.

“Why is Marcus Rashford playing on the wing? He is a goal-scorer,” the former Arsenal and England striker told the Sun's football podcast.

“He has good movement and he can finish. They’ve left him on the wing and he’s rotting out there.”
