Last Updated : 10-Feb-2008 byRush, who is currently the elite performance director of the Welsh Football Trust, has been earmarked as part of the restructuring of the national team in the wake of a string of poor performances.In last year's Asian Cup, which Malaysia co-hosted, they failed to win a match in the group stage and scored just one goal.
Malaysia were also eliminated in the first round of qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in November.
Rush: "I have been asked to have a look at their strikers, but it has got no further than that at the moment.
"I will be having another chat with them when I get back from Portugal, where I am at the moment on a break. Maybe sometime next week I will be in a better position to make a decision.
"If it did happen I would probably go out there a couple of times for a short visit, but it would have to fit in with my current job with the Welsh FA Trust, helping to bring their kids through.
"So at the moment I can't confirm anything really, I will know more in a week or so."
1997/98 I.Rush Appearance: 9/5 Goals: 2 United tried to sign him when he was at Chester but Liverpool beat them to it. World class striker, but well past his sell-buy date when he came to Newcastle. Scored a vital FA Cup goal against Everton that broke Denis Law's FA Cup record. That was about his total output. Should have had him 15 years earlier.
