Manchester United's former youth coach Paul McGuinness says that Marcus Rashford 'needs to start scoring ugly goals'.

Manchester United's former youth coach Paul McGuinness has claimed that forward Marcus Rashford 'needs to start scoring ugly goals' if he is to break records with the 20-time English champions.

Rashford, 19, finished the 2015-16 campaign with eight goals in 18 appearances, before notching 11 goals in 53 appearances under Jose Mourinho last season.

McGuinness worked closely with Rashford in the youth system at United, and the 51-year-old has called on the teenager to study former Red Devils forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was a penalty-box predator during his time at Old Trafford.

"Marcus can score all sorts of goals, but to be a goal-scorer you need more of the Ruud van Nistelrooy type of goals. If it hit the goalkeeper - there was Ruud. If it hit the bar, post, deflected - he was there. Marcus has got a bigger range, but he needs more of those," McGuinness told the Manchester Evening News.

McGuinness has also revealed that Rashford wanted to be a central midfielder during his youth career.
