The Red Devils star is facing an uncertain time at Old Trafford after a tough spell of form.

Rashford, 27, struggled in Manchester United‘s win over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League.
The forward was unable to influence the game and was arguably fortunate to escape a red card in the second half.
Rashford flew into a tackle when already on a yellow but avoided further punishment before being hooked by Ruben Amorim.
He was not acknowledged by the manager when walking off the pitch and to the bench.
Fans spotted the moment and are now convinced that it means that the club will sell him in January.
One wrote: “Looks like Rashford is certainly gonna be sold, Amorim didn’t even shake his hand when he came off.”
A second wrote: “Amorim acknowledges Malacia and Zirkzee.
“No exchange between him and Rashford when he came off earlier.”

Another commented: “He didn’t even look at him.”
While one summarised: “There was nothing to acknowledge about Rashfords game.”
Another sad fan added: “I wouldn’t be devastated if Rashford left.”
Reports have been circulating that Man United would be willing to cash in on Rashford in January.
The Daily Mail have reported that the club would accept a bid worth £40million to allow him to leave.
The potential sale of Rashford would boost the club’s PSR position as he is an academy profit and would count as 100 per cent profit.
An influx of cash would also boost Amorim’s fund to invest in new players to strengthen the squad for the second half of the season.
However, finding a buyer could be difficult, with Rashford earning up to £325,000-per-week.
His deal runs until 2028, having been signed only in July 2023.
Man Utd ratings vs Plzen as Hojlund and Amad spare Onana’s blushes are horror show
ANDRE ONANA had his blushes spared by Rasmus Hojlund as Manchester United fought back to win against Viktoria Plzen.
Here’s how SunSport’s Henry Tomlinson rated the Red Devils stars…
Andre Onana – 4
It was a very shaky start to the game in which Onana hurt Casemiro and failed to deal with the host’s crosses convincingly.
He made a massive error that led to Plzen taking the lead with his poor pass, leaving his defenders with no chance of bailing him out.
Diogo Dalot – 6
Dalot made some decent runs forward to join in with the attacks.
Defensively was fairly solid and was not often caught out.
Noussair Mazraoui – 6
Playing a bit more central, Mazraoui used his pace well to help out at the back.
Matthijs de Ligt – 6
He was sold short by Onana’s pass that led to the opener but otherwise was fine during the 90 minutes.
Lisandro Martinez – 6
Made himself available when Man United got forward but struggled with the physicality of the Plzen attackers.
Tyrell Malacia – 6
He offered very little going forward in the wing-back role as he struggled to combine with Marcus Rashford.
Casemiro – 6
He moved the ball forward when he could and recovered from an early blow from Onana.
Bruno Fernandes – 7
He was lucky to have escaped an early yellow card. Stung the goalkeeper’s gloves in the first half with a good effort.
His quick thinking set up Rasmus Hojlund to fire in a late winner.
Amad Diallo – 8
Diallo was a rare bright spark in Man United’s attack against Plzen.
It was his run that led to the equaliser, and he used his pace and skill to get past his defender.
Marcus Rashford – 4
Rashford was often loose on the ball and surrendered possession in the attacking third.
He received the first booking of the game for a needless foul and was lucky not to be sent off in the second half before being hooked by Ruben Amorim.
Joshua Zirkzee – 6
Took on the centre-forward role well, held the ball up and linked up play well enough.
Subs
Rasmus Hojlund 55′ – 8
Hojlund showed his striker instincts by being in the right position to grab Man United’s equaliser.
He then latched onto Fernandes’ clever pass to score the winner.
Antony 60′ – 6
He was involved in the equaliser by linking up with Diallo.
Mason Mount 60′ – 7
Made a positive impact after coming on and was unlucky not to score as he was denied twice by the goalkeeper after coming into the action.
Alejandro Garnacho 80′ – N/A
Failed to make a positive impact on his short spell on the pitch.
Manuel Ugarte 80′ – N/A
He slotted into the midfield as he replaced Casemiro late on.
