Owen predicts Marcus Rashford's starting role may be at risk for Man Utd
Summary

Michael Owen has suggested that Marcus Rashford may soon lose his place in Manchester United's starting lineup. Rashford, now 28, is noted for his lack of form and enthusiasm since returning from loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona. Owen commented on Rashford's body language and suggested that he has not met expectations since rejoining the squad. The possible return of Benjamin Sesko from injury could further jeopardize Rashford's position, with Matheus Cunha likely to be shifted to the left if Sesko starts. Carrick has to consider other options for the attack as Rashford deals with a hip issue that forced him to withdraw from the England squad.
