How Marcus Rashford became a B-list player entrenched in victimhood - and what he should do to save himself, writes IAN HERBERT

Daily Mail  

It seems Marcus Rashford will have time on his hands again this weekend, so perhaps his entourage might consider sitting him down in front of a brilliant new BBC Wales documentary about a player who actually viewed wearing the No 10 jersey at Manchester United as a privilege and something to cherish. He signed for Barcelona, he tells the documentary crew, ‘because I didn’t have the confidence to say, “I’m not going".’ Marcus Rashford has been the subject of loan interest away from Manchester United after being dropped Rashford attended a New York Knicks game during an international break in a Louis Vuitton coat But the out-of-favour star can take inspiration from a club legend of yesteryear in Mark Hughes The reluctance was written across his face as he sat in that big chair all those years ago. Rashford, a far cooler and more sophisticated young man with a far higher opinion of himself, says he has ‘no regrets’ about leaving United. Goodness knows how Rashford - who says he feels ‘misunderstood’ and ‘disheartened’, despite years of coddling by United - would have dealt with what came Hughes’ way in Spain. ‘My mum loved his thighs!’ Rashford is 27 now and could do with being talked out of his current sense of victimhood Hughes was brought to Barcelona and faced down the disapproval of fans with equanimity If Rashford could only be talked out of his current sense of victimhood and align himself to the notion of redemption in football, then the documentary, which takes that word as its title, might speak to him.
