Man Utd need to make strong Marcus Rashford stance to send message to his team-mates

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and become embroiled in an annual battle for the Ballon d'Or. But while one of these stars continues to shine bright and looks poised to earn a dream move to Real Madrid this summer, the other has faded almost as fast as he thrust himself onto the footballing stage in the first place.His stock has fallen so low he's been axed from England's latest squad, can't get in the United team and found himself rowing with heckling supporters earlier this week as he left Old Trafford following another defeat.Like Mbappe, Rashford could also leave his club at the end of the season, but he won't be heading to one with the might of Real, that's for sure.

The unsettled Manchester United winger is now damaged goods - and on current form he might be shocked to discover other clubs will not be falling over themselves to sign him if he does become available.Reports claim Rashford is considering his United future, but who is he to get to decide if and when he's had enough of turning out for one of the biggest clubs in the world?

Rashford shouldn't be the one making this call, because he's been so bang average for so long now that he hasn't done enough in the last two seasons to earn the right to call the shots.Nevertheless, United have a huge summer of change ahead of them and Rashford needs to be part of this.

If he does want to leave, whoever the new manager proves to be should tell him he's free to go.Such a stance would send a strong message to the rest of the United squad.
