Despite struggling to establish himself as a first-term regular under Jose Mourinho, it’s reported that Marus Rashford has no desire to quit Manchester United just yet, but his long-term future could depend on a key factor.
The 20-year-old has only managed to start one of the opening four Premier League games this season and it currently suspended for three games after getting sent off against Burnley in our previous outing.
Competition for places are fierce on the left-flank at Old Trafford with the likes of Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial also fighting for the starting spot, while Romelu Lukaku is the main man up front.
