Mourinho should give these 3 Man United players a chance against Saint-Etienne

Marcus Rashford

England international Marcus Rashford is reportedly stalling on a new contract at United, and it’s not difficult to see why based on his recent amount of gametime.

The 19-year-old, almost a year since he made his big breakthrough in the Europa League against Midtjylland, has only started two of the Red Devils’ last 13 Premier League games, and hasn’t netted in the league since September 24 when Mourinho’s men thumped champions Leicester 4-1 at Old Trafford.

Rashford has been on a barren run since then, but did get two goals in their FA Cup triumph over Reading at the start of January, and United fans would have been hoping for the forward to push on like he did at the start of the campaign.

He hasn’t, but like Lingard, his pace and directness could be invaluable for United on Thursday, and giving him a start on Thursday could be the confidence-booster he needs to get back in amongst the goals.
