Shearer offers to be adviser to Man Utd striker Rashford

Former England captain Alan Shearer has called Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford.

Rashford has failed to score in his last 11 outings for the Red Devils and has only completed two of his 10 starts since returning from a shoulder injury in October.

The 24-year-old's body language has been routinely questioned by pundits and fans too - with many citing an unhappy figure within Ralf Rangnick's under-performing squad.

He hit another low point when fans turned on him during Monday's FA Cup win over Aston Villa .

The Sun says Shearer - who was a BBC pundit at Old Trafford on Monday - has called Rashford to help him get out of his slump.

They report that the Newcastle legend 'offered him tips on handling the pressure and expectation' and 'convinced him that he can come through' this rough patch.

They finish by reporting that Shearer offered his services to Rashford whenever he needed to chat in the future.
