Ex-Liverpool player Jamie Redknapp has expressed his sympathy for Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford.
Rashford broke into the scene for United last month after netting a brace against Arsenal but the youngster has struggled in recent matches and he endured a difficult time during United's 2-0 Europa League Round of 16 first leg defeat against Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday night.
Rashford who was deployed in a wide position had to at times fill in at right-back during the first half before he was subbed off for Michael Carrick and Redknapp has now gone on to criticise United manager Louis van Gaal for overburdening the 18-year-old with defensive responsibilities.
"I feel sorry for Marcus Rashford - he's gone from centre forward to helping out at right back in the space of a week! He should play up front or not at all.
"His strengths are running in behind centre halves and first-time finishing, and by giving him a role with defensive responsibility, Van Gaal is in danger of over-exposing the 18-year-old."
