Henry urges Rashford to consider Man Utd future

Published on: 13 February 2018

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has urged Marcus Rashford to consider his future at Manchester United.

Rashford missed United's weekend defeat to Newcastle, with what Jose Mourinho described as a slight injury.

However, the 20-year-old hasn't started any of United's last six Premier League fixtures.

"One of the most important things for me is that you have to play," declared Henry, speaking on Sky Sports.

"You cannot be on the bench and missing games, missing learning about the game and stopping that momentum, and an example is Rashford.

"Michael Owen had the opportunity to back up what he did the year before because he played, and he played, and he played, and he played -and I can give you more examples.

"But Rashford at times could not capitalise on what he did from that year [after his debut], because sometimes he is playing on the right, [sometimes] on the left.

"Leave is a strong word. Obviously being from there, he wants to play for United. But he has to play and it is becoming even more difficult for him since Sanchez has arrived.

"I think at the end of the season, he is maybe going to have a thinking day of 'do I stay?'"

Henry added: "What I am saying to him is: you need to play. It can be at Manchester United. I'm not saying he can't play at Manchester United, but he still has not had that run of games to carry on the momentum that he has.

"Especially at a young age, you play on that at times. I don't know if he is going to leave or not, but he needs to play."
