I always felt he was the polar opposite of that.People see him missing a couple of chances and then suddenly hes not a natural finisher.I dont know where they got that from, because I love the way he finishes.Linekerbelieves it’s the complete confidence that Rashford has in himself that has been the biggestfactor in his rapid development. He added: Hell obviously learn and get better along the way, but hes got some superb characteristics to his game.Hes got great speed, great confidence, a great touch and hes very humble.When was an 18-year-old he was picking up the ball and taking corners and free-kick without hesitation.To me that shows a player who is hugely confident in his own ability, not one who chokes in front of goal.BT Sport brings you the moments that matter this season, with exclusively live coverage of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.
