Marcus Rashford - 5 things you need to know
Jose Mourinho started Rashford in his preferred position of up front against Arsenal on Saturday.
However, despite playing the full 90 minutes, the 19-year-old failed to have an impact on the game.
He turned in a below-par performance, as United were held to a 1-1 draw.
Redknapp wasn’t too impressed with Rashford’s tracking back as the Gunners scored a late equaliser courtesy of a header from Olivier Giroud, and has urged the youngster to work hard on improving this part of his game.

He told the Daily Mail: “I was very critical of [Marcus] Rashford on Sky for his performance against Arsenal.
“I am a big fan but was so disappointed by his display.
“With Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended, this was his big chance to shine. I was expecting fireworks from Rashford but instead there was a lack of movement.
Jamie Redknapp thinks Marcus Rashford still has a lot to learn
“He was also at fault for Arsenal’s goal, letting Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain run past him and cross for Olivier Giroud.
“When you are defending one-on-one you have to either show him inside where you have bodies or make sure you match his run if he goes down the line.
“This is a part of the game that Rashford must learn.”
United’s next league game is at home to West Ham on Sunday (4:30pm).
