The Manchester United youngster would benefit from a loan move to Leicester City as much as they would from him.
Things are likely to change at Manchester United this summer after a season of ups and downs. Manager Jose Mourinho is yet to stamp his authority on the side and, despite a second-place finish, United are not quite where they need to be.
Anthony Martial is expected to leave the club this summer after stalling quite significantly under Mourinho, but the same could be said for Marcus Rashford.
The 20-year-old is looking a little out of place at Old Trafford, unable to hold down a position and unsure where his future lies.
That is not to say that Rashford will be leaving permanently anytime soon; the forward is still the future of United, just maybe not the present.
He has not convinced Mourinho as a striker, with the United boss seemingly calling him out recently as not being up to Romelu Lukaku’s standard, and his game time as a winger is only going to diminish if reports of a move for Willian are true.
So perhaps a loan move to another Premier League club would benefit Rashford greatly; much like it did United’s current number nine Lukaku.
There may be no better place for such a move than Leicester City, a team built around pace up top and one that fits Rashford’s direct athleticism to a tee.
Jamie Vardy, at 31, will surely begin to wind down this season (if not move on completely) and the kind of partnership he could strike up with a player like Rashford is very exciting. He could also fit in with four similarly-aged talents at Leicester in Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Demarai Gray, and Kelechi Iheanacho.
It is a move that is not without risk but could benefit all three parties to absolute perfection and Leicester could socre for fun with a temporary partnership of Vardy and Rashford.
