These 2 Man United players must improve if they are to challenge for the Premier League title

Marcus Rashford

The same can be said for England striker Marcus Rashford, whose vast amount of football over the last 12 months appears to be catching up on him.

The 19-year-old netted four times in his first seven games of the season, and looked like the player that broke into the United and England side last season.

However, since his last goal against Leicester on September 24, the young forward has not scored for United in 12 appearances, nine of which have been starts.

He has also created just one chance in his last five games, yet you sense that as soon as he scores once, plenty more will follow, just like it did last season, and indeed at the start of this campaign.

A spell away from the side over the next few weeks may be needed to get Rashford back to full fitness ahead of the New Year.
