Marcus Rashford given Manchester United hope as Paulo Dybala issues Cristiano Ronaldo verdict

Here are your Manchester United morning headlines for Tuesday, March 22.

Matthijs de Ligt comments show what the future could hold for Rashford

Matthijs de Ligt's comments are proof that Marcus Rashford would be given a fresh start at Manchester United under Erik ten Hag.

Rashford has endured a difficult season at Old Trafford and has scored just five goals in 26 outings. MEN Sport understands the England international is thinking of leaving the club, with his omission from the starting XI for the recent derby loss to Manchester City causing him to consider his future.

Meanwhile, MEN Sport understands the United board are hoping to appoint Ajax boss Ten Hag as their permanent manager. And if De Ligt's comments from January 2018 are anything to go by, Rashford will be given a chance to prove he is worthy of a place in the United starting line-up.
