Would 'fresh start' benefit Rashford?

BBC Sport's Simon Stone reported earlier this week that Manchester United are willing to listen to offers for virtually all their first-team squad this summer, although club sources are adamant their preference is to keep Marcus Rashford and work with the England forward to restore last season's form.

"I have watched him closely for years and last season, maybe even the one before, I have thought there is something wrong," said former Scotland winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "He does not seem himself and his body language is unusually down.

"He is a world class player and he has all the ability, so if the club can get to the bottom of it then I do not think anyone would want him to leave.

"But if he is going to be up and down in performances then let him go."

Manchester-born Rashford came through United's youth ranks before making his first-team debut as an 18-year-old in 2016.

He has gone on to make 270 appearances for the Red Devils in the Premier League, scoring 83 goals.

Rashford finished last season with a career-best tally of 30 goals, but he has been unable to make the same impact this time around as United have struggled to build on their first campaign under manager Erik ten Hag.

"He has had a difficult season," added former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson. "Does he need a change? This has been his club for a long time but does he need to find his spark and love again for football?

"From the outside looking in, I think a fresh start at a different club would do him the world of good."
