https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jamie-redknapp-fears-marcus-rashford-11933967Jamie Redknapp has advised Marcus Rashford to go and play football elsewhere following Manchester United's signing of Alexis Sanchez.
The former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder admitted he feels "sorry" for the youngster who will inevitably find first team football harder to come by as a direct result of the Chilean joining the ranks at Old Trafford.
United beat Manchester City to the punch to land Sanchez this January, parting company with Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the process.
He made his debut for the Red Devils in their 4-0 win over Yeovil in the FA Cup fourth round on Friday, before being replaced by Jesse Lingard on 70 minutes.
"I just feel for people like Marcus Rashford. They go down the pecking order and he's probably thinking where do I fit in now, said Redknapp.
"Part of the Premier League is having these players but I just feel sorry when someone like Marcus Rashford is going to be thinking 'this is another pathway blocked for me.'
"He might have to go in the end. It doesn't help your confidence. Every time you are training you think 'I'm not going to play on Saturday'.
"He probably needs to go and play football somewhere.
"It is a shame but that's modern day football and that's why it's so hard for young British players to get opportunities."
Seriously, he gets paid to talk shit like this
