Man Utd Told 'Weak Link' is 'Vulnerable' to Michael Carrick Drop Decision

Former Man Utd stiker Michael Owen believes Marcus Rashford could be dropped in the near future.

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been told he is 'vulnerable' to losing his starting spot after an underwhelming performance against Fulham on Sunday. Rashford has struggled to be productive since coming back into the Old Trafford fold, having failed to land a move away from the club during the summer.

The England international scored 14 and assisted as many during a loan spell at Barcelona last season, and there was talk he was reviving his still relatively young career, but those goals and assists did come for a brilliant Barca team. Barca decided not to sign Rashford in the summer, instead signing Anthony Gordon on a much more pricey deal, and Rashford returned to United after having a decent World Cup with England.

The Red Devils were willing to sell, with Rashford having a huge deal at Old Trafford, but offers were not forthcoming, and he has remained at the club, becoming a starter under Michael Carrick . United have been poor as a collective , only winning one of their five Premier League games, but Rashford has struggled, and former Red Devils striker Michael Owen says the England international is the most vulnerable to losing his starting spot as Carrick contemplates changes.

"On the left, Marcus Rashford has been probably the quietest of those attackers," Owen said on Premier League Productions. "He was quiet again today in his body language, just the glum face. He just doesn’t seem to be loving his football which has been a permanent frustration with Marcus.
