Marcus Rashford has always been judged differently to most other players.

Part of that is essentially just because of who he is.

He is one of the club's top earners and it is perceived that he should be doing a lot better.

But there is always a discussion about what he does off the field as well.

The idea he doesn't care makes things worse for him, and he is not perfect.

A lot of the criticism of him has come from United fans, but they sometimes forget they have got more in common with him than any other player in that team.

Rashford has always been one of the big talking points of this team - as he is now.

If he is going to move on it would have to be a deal that suits everyone - his fee from the club's point of view and, for him, his wages, and where he wants to play.

He's been at his boyhood club since he was seven and his utopia is winning trophies.
