Marcus Rashford told to take Las Vegas holiday in bid to rescue Manchester United career

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has suggested Marcus Rashford should take a holiday to Las Vegas following his disappointing season.

The 24-year-old has endured a difficult campaign, having scored just five goals in 31 appearances across competitions. His form has seen him struggle to cement a place in Ralf Rangnick's team, with Jadon Sancho now ahead of him in the pecking order on his preferred left-hand side.

Having missed the start of the season following shoulder surgery, Rashford’s performances have suffered an alarming dip amid what has been a dismal season for United. With the World Cup in Qatar coming at the end of the year, Rashford’s place in Gareth Southgate’s squad is far from assured. Saha believes he can rediscover some of his best form but needs some time away in order to rest.

"I think he needs to go on a holiday, have a Las Vegas trip and enjoy himself as much as he can! He should not be dropping in confidence at all," Saha told gamblingdeals.com.

"This guy is an amazing player. For me, he just needs a rest and some time to think about his career and what he wants next. He has a massive future at United, yes he's struggling, but when you look at his potential and ability, it's nothing that dramatic that he can’t recover from.

"He just needs to get back to where he was when he was 19, not overthinking, or thinking about his status. Just work hard, play with a smile and everything will be fine. There is no one with his qualities, this guy has it all."
