Marcus Rashford has been linked with a move away from Manchester United after the club were reportedly planning a squad overhaul this summer - but do the stats suggest he should be sold?
United are reportedly prepared to sell most of their stars in a huge overhaul at Old Trafford under Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos-led regime - with only rising stars Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund off the cards.

Ten Hag has also defended Rashford, who scored 30 goals last season but has netted only eight this term, and believes he "is capable of scoring, every season, 25, 35 goals". So, should United sell their homegrown star and what do the stats say about his form?
Rashford has received ample game-time with 2,960 minutes across all competitions this term, only Andre Onana, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot and Alejandro Garnacho have clocked more.
Despite scoring 30 goals in all competitions for United last season, the England winger has managed only eight goals in that time. Four of his United team-mates have outscored that figure - including midfielder Scott McTominay, who has registered 500 fewer minutes.
