The former Red Devils star thinks that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-fans-keep-doubting-marcus-rashford-derby-goal-not-enough-prove-commitment/blt0905ea8a08db4f40" target="_blank">Marcus Rashford</a> is capable of breaking his goalscoring records at the club but warned him that he must be more consistent. After a stellar 2022/23 season where he scored 30 goals across all competitions, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-utd-erik-ten-hag-marcus-rashford-ex-man-city-joleon-lescott/blt558751fbbe634b49" target="_blank">Rashford's form took a sudden dip</a> in the current season and he has managed to score just six goals in 33 appearances.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to <a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1766433436179341333" target="_blank">TNT Sports</a>, Rooney as asked if he had much sympathy for Rashford's current troubles and replied: "Not much. I think he is in a privileged position, he is playing for Manchester United. I've said before, he is the one player, I really believe, can go and break my goalscoring records. I hope he does because he is a Manchester lad. But I think he needs to get some consistency. Of course, he is not having the best of seasons but he needs to find some form and consistency and become a leader in this team."

WHAT WAYNE ROONEY SAID

The former Birmingham City and DC United manager is United's all-time highest scorer with 253 goals to his name. He scored 183 goals for the club in the Premier League which makes him the all-time third-highest scorer in the competition for a single club. Rashford, on the other hand, has made 392 appearances for the club since his debut in 2016 and has scored on 129 occasions.
