Manchester United fans on X reckon Marcus Rashford no longer has a future at the club after he was excluded from the matchday squad to face Bournemouth. The two sides are set to lock horns in the Premier League at Old Trafford later today (Sunday, December 22).
Andre Onana starts in goal for Manchester United. Noussair Mazraoui, Harry Maguire, and Lisandro Martinez make up the defense. The midfield consists of Bruno Fernandes, Tyrell Malacia, Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, and Kobbie Mainoo. Joshua Zirkzee starts as the lone forward to complete the starting XI.

Marcus Rashford has had a poor season to date, garnering seven goals and three assists in 24 appearances across competitions. The 27-year-old has now been dropped in three consecutive games by Ruben Amorim due to his poor performances in training.
One Manchester United fan reacted by posting:
"I suspect Marcus Rashford may have played his last game for Manchester United…a sad way for an academy product and local lad to end his career at his boyhood club. Regardless of what your opinion is of him!"

"This whole Rashford thing is an unnecessary distraction. Sell him in January and let both parties move on," one fan commented.
"Rashford should leave. Its best for all parties," another added.
"rashford been sent to the gulag," one fan tweeted.
"He needs to be sold rapido, out with the older underperforming over paid players and in with hungry players who want to win at all costs. Rashfords body language and work rate has been terrible for 2 seasons," another fan chimed in.
"Amorim told him what was required. He went straight to Henry Winter. He’s not up to the task, evidently. Where will he go in January?" another questioned.
"United always looks like conceding a goal" - Mark Lawrenson makes score prediction for Manchester United vs Bournemouth
Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has backed Manchester United to defeat Bournemouth 3-1 in their upcoming Premier League fixture at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have struggled this season and are currently 13th in the league table with 22 points from 16 games. However, they have won their last league game with a 2-1 comeback win over Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth have been excellent, and are currently eighth in the table with 25 points from 16 games. They have won three out of their last four league games, drawing the other.
Lawrenson wrote (via Paddy Power News):
"Everyone knows that I love Bournemouth but I think Manchester United will be too strong for them. United always looks like conceding a goal but they must be sky high with that derby win."
Lawrenson's Prediction: 3-1
