Marcus Rashford wishes to remain a Manchester United player despite the club looking to cash in.
The 26-year-old has endured one of the worst seasons of his career with just eight goals to his name in all competitions, despite appearing in 40 games.
Rashford’s massive drop-off from last season – where he bagged 30 goals – has become a cause of concern. And it has led the club’s hierarchy to consider cashing in on the hometown hero.
