Former Liverpool midfielder Graeme Souness believes that some of Marcus Rashford’s performances this season have deserved him to be sold by Man United.
In William Hill’s Three Up podcast, he explained: “He’s got the qualities to do that but does he have the appetite to do the hard yards, maybe we’ll never find out.
“When I was a player, no one was given permission to not track back, you’d sprint forward, and even quicker coming back - no one was given a pass. I’d say that’s how it has been before my time and even now for the very best teams.
“If you’re at a proper club with proper professionals, you’re doing that in training each day and if you’re not, they’ll come after you. The coach doesn’t even have to say it, that’s what happens at the big clubs.
“This should be hammered into you in the training sessions, what Marcus Rashford showed against Ross Barkley when they played Luton a few weeks ago, means he must’ve been doing that in training.
‘If he was doing that at a proper football club, they’d be all over him to the point where there would be fallouts, and if they didn’t learn, they’d think about selling you.”
Rashford has attracted criticism from fans for not showing enough desire to track back in some games. The Red Devils are reportedly ready to sell him IF Marcus himself pushes for a summer exit.
The 26-year-old has only been able to score eight goals and provide five assists across all competitions in the 2023/24 season for Man United.
