New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag ‘needs convincing’ on Marcus Rashford, according to reports. Staff at Old Trafford have been urging the Dutchman to stand by the 24-year-old, despite his poor form this season. But it appears his future is still unclear as the summer transfer window edges closer.

Rashford, as a local lad, is said to have never previously wanted to leave Old Trafford behind.
Yet he’s been considering his future having fallen behind Anthony Elanga in Rangnick’s pecking order since the German’s appointment earlier this season.
Arsenal have been put forward as potential suitors.
But their failure to qualify for the Champions League could count against them, with the Gunners expected to be playing in the Europa League instead after a recent collapse.
Newcastle have also been keeping tabs on Rashford as they hunt a marquee signing.
Yet with the Toon not qualifying for Europe, they also appear to miss out.

Barcelona have long admired Rashford yet, due to their financial situation, will struggle to seal a deal.
But Paris Saint-Germain could feasibly act if, as expected, Kylian Mbappe departs to Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, speaking recently, Louis Saha had some unorthodox advice for Rashford.
He urged the England international to go on holiday to get his head right - and recommended Las Vegas.
"I think he needs to go on a holiday, have a Las Vegas trip and enjoy himself as much as he can!” he stated.

“He should not be dropping in confidence at all.
"This guy is an amazing player, for me, he just needs a rest and some time to think about his career and what he wants next.
“He has a massive future at United, yes he's struggling, but when you look at his potential and ability, it's nothing that dramatic that he can’t recover from.
"He just needs to get back to where he was when he was 19, not overthinking, or thinking about his status.
“Just work hard, play with a smile and everything will be fine. There is no one with his qualities, this guy has it all."
