While the likes of Victor Valdes are sure of leaving, the likes of Marcus Rashford will have to wait to know what the future holds for them given “The special one’s”  poor track record of working with youngsters. Some Manchester United players know their time is up at the club.

However, Henry believes Rashford  is too good to be snubbed: “He’s going to have to make sure he can carry on with those guys. Marcus Rashford with what he did this year, you can’t just ignore that. [Timothy] Fosu-Mensah, I’m not going to name all the youngsters, I think he’s going to go with that.”

“And I think he’s going to go with players that are going to fit the way he plays,” he said.

Speaking about Mourinho’s style, Henry noted: “I know people say his teams are boring and they don’t score goals but when he went to Real Madrid a lot of the time he actually outscored Barcelona. And when he was at Chelsea they were scoring a lot of goals.”

Statistics show that Marcus Rashford’s impressive introduction has shown up all of his team mates. Rashford ended Villa’s 28-year-stay in the EPL. Since his barnstorming display in the 5-1 win over FC Midtjylland, the youngster has scored 8 goals in 11 appearances, no teammate has more than 3 goals in that time.
