Manchester United find themselves in an all-too familiar position with Marcus Rashford. For this once all-conquering club, it’s another sad indictment of their downfall over the past 10 years.
United made their name as the club that bucked the trend under Sir Alex Ferguson. That oft-quoted soundbite from Alan Hansen that “you can’t win anything with kids” was regularly debunked as the Old Trafford conveyor belt kept churning out exciting and new talent.
Those names would go on to etch themselves into United history. Scholes, Giggs, Neville, Beckham et al. would go on to play a big part in some of the club’s greatest moments.
