Fast forward 12 months and United are still playing dull football 

#1 Marcus Rashford would be a top quality striker

The 19-year old is mobile, fast, intelligent and clinical

At the end of the 2015/16 season, everybody in England was going mad about Marcus Rashford. The teenage sensation had taken the Premier League by storm and become a rising star at Old Trafford. Under Van Gaal, he scored 5 goals in just 11 appearances, including a memorable brace against Arsenal.

Fast forward a season and the promising youngster has scored 5 goals again but this time in 32 appearances, THIRTY-TWO. If that’s not a drop off in development I don’t know what it is.

It’s fair to say under the tutelage of Van Gaal, the Englishman would have taken the club to new heights. The 19-year old is mobile, fast, intelligent and clinical, but for some reason, Jose couldn’t see that and instead positioned him on the wing.

Whilst Zlatan Ibrahimovic was, for some reason, given a £300,000-a-week contract to stunt the growth of Marcus Rashford.
