Former Premier League player Chris Waddle has urged Marcus Rashford to leave Manchester United and try his luck at another club to regain England consideration and return to his goalscoring form.

Marcus Rashford paid for his poor season as the 26-year-old scored just eight times in 42 appearances for his club last season. As a result, the Manchester United forward was left out of Lee Carsley's England squad for the UEFA Nations League double-header with Ireland and Finland.
The winger is still working to regain his best form but some believe he needs to move on if he is to get his chances at international level again.
"I can see why Lee Carsley has left Marcus Rashford out of the England squad, he doesn’t do enough. On his game, he’s a terrific player, as we saw two years ago when he scored over 30 goals, he was on fire that season – that’s what you want out of him," Chris Waddle said in an interview.
"Since then, we haven’t seen that. Last season he didn’t do it, and he hasn’t so far this season either. I don’t know whether it’s a lack of desire or passion, it just feels as if he’s not even on the pitch sometimes. He doesn’t look like he cares. He hasn’t been there over the last season and the start of this season," he continued.
The former Premier League player went on to add: "I think Manchester United should have sold him two years ago after that electric season, that was the right time – he needs a move away. He’s been at United his entire life and sometimes players just get comfortable."
