Cole challenges Rashford to get 20 goals

Club legend Andy Cole has claimed that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford should be scoring 20 goals every season.

Since coming through the academy setup, Rashford has scored a total of 48 goals from 179 appearances in all competitions.

While Cole feels that the England international's versatility is hindering his development, the ex-striker has insisted that the attacker should be showing more of a ruthless streak in the final third.

Cole told The Sun: "If you are going to play as a centre forward for Manchester United, you have got to be looking to get yourself 20 goals.

"His best return in a season so far is 13 and if that is your best return, and you are the main striker, you are going to have to get yourself a few more."

Rashford has netted just three times this season, with two of those strikes coming from the penalty spot.
