Could Rashford be left to 'rot' at Old Trafford?

Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says there is a possibility that Marcus Rashford will not find a club to leave Manchester United for before the transfer window closes and he "rots" until the summer.

Rashford is one of United's highest-earning players and the club do not want to be in a situation where they pay him to do nothing for half a season.

United will likely have to subsidise wages, but the New York Times' chief soccer correspondent Rory Smith believes this situation highlights United's ongoing issue of struggling to sell players.

"It is a problem for United and one of the reasons why they are up against the PSR threshold," Smith said on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club. "The system relies on you being able to sell well, so when you aren't the figures don't look good.

"The players at United earn way too much money and it is way more than their reflective value in the market."
