'No manager in their right mind would offload him!' - Paul Merson leaps to Marcus Rashford's defence amid criticism of the Manchester United star and insists he will not be sold by any incoming boss this summer despite his underwhelming form

Paul Merson has leapt to the defence of Marcus Rashford and insisted 'no manager in their right mind' would sell the Manchester United star this summer.

Rashford is enduring one of his most difficult seasons as a United player, with a number of below-par performances meaning he has drawn criticism from supporters and pundits alike.

The England international has scored just two goals in his last 20 appearances, and after losing his place in the starting XI reports have emerged suggesting he is now considering his future at Old Trafford.
