Manchester's Fletcher Moss Rangers warn football may miss out on the next Marcus Rashford... with financial pressures building and support in short supply, today's young stars are seeing hopes of a professional career fade amid a second lockdown

At first glance, little seems to have changed in the clubhouse at Fletcher Moss Rangers.

The team pictures on the wall are still there featuring Marcus Rashford, Danny Welbeck and Ravel Morrison before they made it to Manchester United, as are two trophy cabinets laden with silverware and a showcase full of club pennants collected from Hong Kong to Arizona.

Look a little closer though and things are different. Covid regulations are pinned to the noticeboard to be strictly followed, QR codes on the walls so parents can register on the NHS Covid-19 app, and a one-way system.
