Premier League legend Alan Shearer has insisted that only Marcus Rashford and Ruben Amorim can explain the winger's drop in form at Manchester United this season.

Rashford has been consistently selected this season and has managed seven goals in 24 appearances. However, due to his high standards, many feel there is more to come from the 27-year-old.

On Thursday night, the forward endured boos from the away end after a disappointing display and his place in the squad to face Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday is in doubt. Speaking to The Mirror as a Betfair ambassador, Shearer believes that there are only two people who can get to the bottom of what is happening for Rashford at present.

"I don’t know him personally. I saw him three years ago scoring 30 goals a season, so it is in there, but we haven’t seen anywhere near that for a long time now," he explained.

"I don’t know if there’s anything going on in his life or anything like that. There’s only two guys who can answer, his manager and him with his attitude and his performances and his belief.

"His performances haven’t been there for a while, he’s gone from there to down there in such a short space of time, so clearly something’s not right. I don’t know why he’s gone from there three years ago to where he is now, but I don’t see a happy player.

"It would be wrong for me to speculate, I don’t know what’s going on around him."
