Henry: Man Utd boss Mourinho doesn't rate Rashford as No9

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry believes Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho doesn't rate Marcus Rashford as a central striker.

Henry says Mourinho does not see him as a No9.

“Well obviously Jose Mourinho doesn't fancy Marcus Rashford as a No 9," Henry said.

“I think he's played 26 games in all competitions for Man United, scored 10 goals, but under Mourinho he has not played a lot as a 9.

“All I'm thinking is that he had the education of a No 9 early in his career.

“At the end of the day you're choosing between Martial, (Jesse) Lingard and Rashford.

“Those are not bad players, although Lukaku is not around and Ibrahimovic too.

“That will be a headache you would like to have or apparently maybe it's not a headache for him."
