The Manchester United forward would be better suited to Arsenal, according to the talkSPORT pundit.

talkSPORT pundit Micky Quinn has suggested that Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford would be better off at Arsenal, following the January arrival of Alexis Sanchez at Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old burst onto the scene two years ago with four goals in his first two appearances for the Red Devils, and he is widely considered to be one of the best young players on the continent.

Since Sanchez’s arrival at United though, the England international has played second fiddle to the Chilean, and there are genuine concerns that his lack of game-time at Old Trafford could hamper his development.

Quinn highlighted that fact, when speaking live on talkSPORT today, and suggested that Rashford would be better of playing for Arsenal:

“I think he’s gotta go. He’s not a first choice for Jose Mourinho. He is not first choice. The kid is one of the most exciting players we’ve seen in a Manchester United shirt – I’ve got to say that. If he wants to be a regular, I don’t think it’s with Jose Mourinho. Lukaku is the first choice on the pitch. Arsenal he’s walk in there. Aubameyang is OK but he can play as a three can’t he, like Liverpool.”

The 20-year-old forward has impressed pretty much every time he has taken to the field for United over the past two seasons, chalking up 31 goals and 17 assists in 115 appearances thus far.

He has also earned 17 international caps for England – a quite incredible tally for someone so young, and United would surely be mad to even consider selling him, especially to Arsenal.
