Gary Neville makes admission about new Man United signing and Marcus Rashford
Gary Neville admits Alexis Sanchez's arrival at Manchester United has hampered Marcus Rashford
Gary Neville has admitted that Marcus Rashford has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United following the Red Devils’s signing of Alexis Sanchez last month.
The Red Devils opted to bring the Chile international to Old Trafford last month in the same deal which saw Henrikh Mkhitaryan head to Arsenal.
Sanchez has been a regular fixture in the Manchester United team since the transfer and his arrival at Old Trafford has increased the competition for places in attack.
And with Anthony Martial having been in decent form for Jose Mourinho’s men of late as well, Neville admits that Rashford is facing more competition to break into the team.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville said: “With Alexis Sanchez signing, with Anthony Martial doing quite well recently, he has just fallen behind those two slightly.”
Manchester United will return to Premier League action on Monday week when they travel to Crystal Palace in the top flight.
Mourinho is aiming to at least guide the Red Devils to a top four finish in the Premier League in his second campaign in charge at the club.
The Red Devils, who have not won the title since 2013, finished sixth in the Premier League last season but won both the Europa League and League Cup in Mourinho’s first campaign at Old Trafford.
