Manchester United have already found Marcus Rashford’s replacement, and he’s going to be much better – opinion

Marcus Rashford’s time at Manchester United could be up in an anti-climactic manner as the fallout from the Manchester Derby continues in a dramatic manner.

After Ruben Amorim dropped Rashford and Garnacho from the squad altogether for the marquee game, there were always expected to be ripples.

However, not many would have foreseen Rashford saying he’s ready for a new challenge in the immediate aftermath of the game, which probably settles his future path.

It comes after Ruben Amorim said that the next game is a new life for the dropped players so it’s not a good look for the player.

However, football moves quickly and the focus will quickly turn to Marcus Rashford’s replacement at Old Trafford. Fortunately, thanks to Ineos’ planning, United already found Rashford’s replacement in the form of the crown jewel of their academy last summer.

When Ruben Amorim arrived at Manchester United, Marcus Rashford’s future was already under question because there was no clear tactical fit for the player.

He couldn’t play as an outright centre-forward, there were no wingers in a back three system, his work rate wouldn’t allow him to play as a wing-back and his game in close spaces was not refined enough to play as a No 10.

Sure enough, that is exactly what transpired as Rashford played as a striker in one game, as an attacking midfielder in a few others but didn’t stand out in any.
