Forward says United are stuck in 'no man's land' without a plan
Marcus Rashford has offered a withering assessment of Manchester United, saying a lack of identity since Sir Alex Ferguson left has marooned the club in "no man's land".
The on-loan Barcelona striker said the situation hurt him as a United player and fan, and laid the blame firmly at the club's door. Too many managerial changes and different strategies had undermined the principles established under Ferguson, Rashford said. He believes United will not be contenders for the title unless they keep faith with a clear plan.
