MARCUS RASHFORD has told Jose Mourinho he is happy to play in the No10 role.
United have had a terrible week that has seen them lose three games on the bounce and the players are being heavily criticised.
There have been calls to drop Wayne Rooney from his role just behind the striker and Rashford admitted he believes he is ready to take on the position.
Rashford told Inside United: “I don’t regret playing in the number 10 role because it means now I can still play there if I need to.
“Number 10, on both wings and up front as well. It means I have more in my armoury when it comes to the matches.
“I used to look up to players who would dribble at people, creating chances, scoring too.
“But the type of the player I want to be now is different to the type of player I wanted to be then.”
