Andy Cole: Rashford needs to become an Aguero or Firmino

The Red Devils’ England international forward is looking to nail down a role as a central striker, but has been told that he still has much to work on

Marcus Rashford needs to become a Sergio Aguero or Roberto Firmino-type figure for Manchester United, says Andy Cole, who feels much work need to be done for him to become a fearsome central striker.

"I want to see from Marcus, I know the two are totally different players but if you're going to play that position, I want to see Aguero. I want to see Firmino,” Cole told Radio 5 Live.

"That's what I want to see. If you look at those two guys playing as a number nine, when I watch them, I get excited watching them.

"Aguero for me, and I keep saying it, is the best centre-forward in the Premier League. I love this movement, I love that he just wants to get in the box, I want to score goals, I don't care what it is, header, tap-in, I'm going to do it and I know what I'm going to do.

"Firmino for Liverpool, he brings people into the game, he sets people up but I'm still going to get in and get my fair share as well.

"I look at those two and I say to myself I just love watching you two play centre-forward.

"Marcus has got to learn off those kinds of individuals."
