Everything that Marcus Rashford touched last season turned to gold. Or should that be goals? Manchester United were indebted to their academy graduate as he plundered 30 goals in all competitions to help cement a top-four finish in the Premier League and bring silverware back to Old Trafford along the way.
That seems a distant memory right now amid the doom and gloom that has set in this campaign. Rashford - with one goal to his name in nine outings this term - needs to recapture his mojo.
For all their supposed improvements within the transfer market, the 25-year-old is still the one United rely on for goal-getting.

There might be a simple reason for that. United have been beset with injuries this season and have been hit harder than anywhere at left-back.
