t is barely two years since Marcus Rashford broke into the national consciousness with that now-famous double against Midtjylland on his Manchester United debut.

Still only 20, he has since gone on to record a phenomenal 110 senior appearances for the club and collected 15 England caps into the bargain. For many, that would represent a fantastic return in such a short time and would be proof enough that the forward’s star is destined to shine brightly.

But there have been great concerns regarding the youngster in recent weeks, with his current run of nine league games without a start matching his career high at a time when manager Jose Mourinho has been otherwise liberal in handing out starting shirts to his attackers.
