As well as a lack of end-product for a player of his calibre, Man United legend Gary Neville expressed his concern for the player during his appearance on the Stick to Football podcast.
He said: "Marcus Rashford, I don’t know how to say this, but to me, there’s something not right.
"He’s not right, and it’s not just a case of him not playing well, he doesn’t look happy.

"It’s not a lad that’s grown up with the freedom and spirit of playing for Manchester United as a kid.”
Meanwhile, on the same podcast, Roy Keane said: "There’s no question mark about his ability. He’s outstanding – but there’s something amiss with him.
"We’ve had these conversations every few months – a player can have an off-spell or a dip, but he’s certainly not enjoying his football.
