Former Manchester City star Trevor Sinclair has waded into the Marcus Rashford debate ahead of the derby against Manchester United.
Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford in action against rivals City
Rashford has been at the centre of a national debate over whether he should be featuring for both club and country after a hot run of goalscoring form.
The youngster, who shot to prominence when he was given his debut under Louis van Gaal last season, is not first choice at Old Trafford under Jose Mourinho who signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic over the summer.

But Rashford reminded Mourinho of just what he brings to the Red Devils with a last gasp winner against Hull City last time out.
New England boss Sam Allardyce did not select him in his first squad for the World Cup qualifying win over Slovakia at the weekend with the player demoted to the Under 21s.
Rashford promptly went out and scored a hat-trick to spark a debate over what is best for his career path.
And former City favourite Sinclair, now working as a football pundit, has stirred the pot ahead of the derby with his own views on the situation on Twitter.

“Very impressed with Rashford, needs to be playing regular football #YoungMansGame,” Sinclair said on Twitter.
Sinclair’s comment seems to suggest Rashford would be better served going elsewhere if he is not going to feature each week under Mourinho.
It also provoked a number of comments from fans of several different clubs with even Liverpool supporters admitting Rashford looked like England’s best striker for a generation.
