Breaking news: Manchester United board declares final intention on Manchester star Rashford,is he staying or not ? Here is what the club said in details .

 Marcus Rashford is considering handing

 in a transfer request at Manchester United

 due to his lack of playing time over the 

last few weeks under interim boss Ralf

 Rangnick.

Rangnick has named Rashford in the 

starting line-up just twice in the last 11 

Premier League matches. The 24-year-old

 was sidelined in the first stretch of the 

season following a shoulder surgery and 

gradually earned back his spot in the 

starting XI after his return to action.

However, it seems as though Rangnick

 favours Anthony Elanga over Rashford 

for a spot in the first XI, and according to 

the Guardian, the England international is 

considering his future for the first time 

in his career at Manchester United.

Started 

on the bench against Manchester City

Despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and

 Edinson Cavani for last Sunday's derby

 against Manchester City, Rangnick decided 

against starting Rashford and instead fielded

 Elanga, Jadon Sancho and Bruno in 

attack. The Red Devils were thrashed 4-

1 by their city rivals.

"With Ronaldo out of the team I think 

they might be better off with Rashford's 

pace on the counter-attack today," said 

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, who 

expected Rashford to start at the 

Etihad Stadium.

"Rashford's got to get himself back 

on track, for the last year, year and a 

half, he's not been playing well.

"They shift him to the left, to the right, down

 the middle, I don't think he's settled and

 grabbed a position, people refer to the 

off the field stuff whether it's a distraction 

or not and he's had injuries as well to 

be fair, his authority off the pitch doesn't

 transfer onto the pitch for Manchester United.

"He's done well here in the past [playing

 at the Etihad], so it's a big opportunity 

for him to show his quality again today 

if he plays."

Rashford has scored five goals and

 produced two assists in the 24 games 

he has played across all competitions for 

Manchester United this season.
