Rashford will get back to his very best, insists Saha

- By JAMES FINDLATER

LOUIS Saha has backed Marcus Rashford to rediscover his form at United and insists he will become ‘unstoppabl­e’.

The forward had a difficult last season, suffering a drop in form as the Reds struggled.

Ultimately, it cost him a place in the England squad, and with the World Cup later this year, he needs to get back on track if he is to make Gareth Southgate’s squad for Qatar.

The 24-year-old started United’s opening game of the season against Brighton on Sunday. Rashford, though, again failed to impress, missing two big chances during the second half.

Former United striker Saha, however, believes it is ‘only a matter of time’ before Rashford is back to his best at Old Trafford.

“The longer it takes him to get out of this bad form, then the more you start to worry,” said the former French forward. “But he has too much talent and he’s a great kid.

“You can see that he loves the club, he’s very committed to the club, and he doesn’t talk to the press in any nonsense way.

“It’s only a matter of time before he’s back to his best and scoring goals for fun. When he clicks again, then I think he will be unstoppabl­e.

“He’s had to come back from an injury and has to rediscover that confidence. Once he does that, I think he’ll continue to improve and improve.

“I think sometimes he shows he’s more frustrated than he should, but that’s just part of football when you have the talent, and it isn’t quite clicking.

“If he keeps working hard and tries to enjoy his football more it will come back, I’m sure about that.”
