Manchester United academy graduate Marcus Rashford has reportedly been left ‘considering his future’ following his selection snub in the Manchester Derby.
Injuries to Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo, combined with the loan of Anthony Martial, meant that the Englishman was the only recognized striker in Manchester United’s squad on their trip to the Etihad Stadium.
Despite this, Ralf Rangnick named him among the substitutes, opting for Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes as the two centre-forwards, and Rashford was only brought in as a late second-half substitute, alongside the outgoing Jesse Lingard.
Marcus Rashford is considering his future. He is worried about his lack of playing time, a source close to the Man Utd striker tells me: he has always been a professional, but he wants clarity. 🔴🏴 🔴🏴 🔴🏴 🔴 #MUFC

It looks like Rashford could also follow Lingard out of the club, with just 12 months left on his contract at Old Trafford for the summer, and no inclination to sign an extension so far.
The problems run deeper than Rashford
For Manchester United, the loss of their most promising academy graduate in a decade would be a bitter blow, but the truth is that the problems run much deeper than this.
Whether through lack of identity, conflicting egos or lack of direction, they have slipped from title contenders to fifth place, two points behind Arsenal and having played three more games than the Gunners.
In a cruel twist of fate, missing out on Champions League football could well be one of the best things to happen to Manchester United as they need a complete and total rebuild rather than short-term fixes for their decline. massive.
