Ex-Manchester United defender Paul Parker claims his former club risk losing wonderkid Marcus Rashford if Jose Mourinho continues to overlook the striker.
Rashford, 18, burst onto the scene last term and earned a place in Roy Hodgson’s 23-man England squad for Euro 2016 after a phenomenal second half of the season at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho’s appointment at the Theatre of Dreams has seen Zlatan Ibrahimovic arrive and many have questioned the 53-year-old’s lack of trust in young players.
The youngster was an unused substitute in the side’s 3-1 win against Bournemouth on Sunday and made a 20-minute appearance against Leicester City in the Community Shield from the bench.
Parker, 52, spent five years at Old Trafford between 1991-1996 and he believes Rashford could look to leave the club if he continues to be overlooked.
‘You have to be concerned for the likes of Rashford. There is no way he can play the number ten role at this moment in time so he is competing with Ibrahimovic and United have to be careful he doesn’t become disillusioned and they lose him,’ said Parker, speaking exclusively to 888Sport.
‘Mourinho’s record will tell Rashford that he doesn’t really stand a chance of getting regular football. He believes in continuity and doesn’t make many changes so Rashford won’t get a run in the team apart from maybe the League Cup.
‘Will he get a run of three or four Premier league games? Not unless Ibrahimovic gets injured.’
