The Manchester United hierarchy are desperate for Marcus Rashford to stay at Old Trafford despite his relationship with the club growing increasingly strained, according to reports.
Rashford, 24, has endured a challenging season since returning from shoulder surgery and he has scored just five times in 27 appearances. This poor form has seen the England international fall down Ralf Rangnick 's pecking order and he has started just one of United's last six Premier League games.
His relationship with the interim manager reached rock bottom when he was left out of the starting line-up for last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Leicester despite being the only striker available. In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Edinson Cavani, Rangnick chose to deploy Bruno Fernandes as a false-nine as the Red Devils laboured to a somewhat fortuitous point.
