M. Richards: "Rashford in a team like 'Man City' would score 40 goals"

Former "Manchester City" defender Micah Richards believes that "Manchester United" is hindering the potential of Marcus Rashford.

Richards thinks that the English national team forward could achieve an impressive goal tally in a team like "Man City."

As the main problem, the footballer points out the "Man Utd" defensive line.

"I feel sorry for Rashford because in a team like 'Man City' he could score around 40 goals per season," said the Englishman to "Sky Sports."

"Of course, playing on the counter-attack with Martial, James, and Lingard looks decent, but when we look at the 'United' defensive line, without insulting the players, we can see differences.

Kevin De Bruyne always makes forward passes, while 'United' defenders always look for the safest option. Sometimes it seems like they don't take risks with their passes because they are afraid of making a mistake.

"In 'Man City's' defensive line, it's different - they immediately look for ways to pass the ball to players in attack," added Richards.
