Rashford has more to offer – Jesse Lingard

Marcus Rashford still has more to use and could manage the stress of being Manchester United’s No 9, according to Jesse Lingard.

Jose Mourinho exposed Rashford had actually played from the outset with a slight injury in Spain on Thursday, as the striker’s stunning free-kick protected United a 1-0 lead over Celta Vigo after the first leg of their Europa League semi-final.

United team-mate Lingard urges the 19-year-old could continue to bring the increased assumptions on his shoulders though as they hope to proceed their top-four press against Arsenal on Sunday.

“He can handle the pressure,” Lingard said. “He’s been about long enough now to handle the pressure.

“He’s scored major goals for United and again he’s got the important goal. He’s still going. He’s going to fill out even more.

“His knowledge of the game, his game intelligence will continue to grow and he’ll keep learning and go from there.

“Of late he’s been put on set-pieces and his corner delivery and free-kicks have been excellent. Close to goal he’s got a real chance of scoring.”

“It’s part and parcel of football,” Lingard said. “He’s going to learn. People are always going to have an opinion.

“You’ve just got to focus on the next game and he’s bounced back with that goal.”
