Marcus Rashford has become a topic of conversation after Manchester United's decision to sack Ruben Amorim.

Rashford, 28, left United to join Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona on loan last summer after falling down Amorim's pecking order.

Since moving to Spain, the Englishman has rediscovered some form as he has so far registered seven goals and 11 assists in 25 matches across all competitions for Hansi Flick's men.

Barcelona are currently top of the La Liga table, leading rivals Real Madrid by four points.

While Rashford seems to be enjoying life in Barcelona, Amorim's time as United boss ended on Monday.

The club announced via a statement: "Ruben Amorim has departed his role as Head Coach of Manchester United. With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club's leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.

"The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future."

On the back of Amorim's exit, Rashford's future has become a major talking point.

Former United midfielder Owen Hargreaves stated that Rashford could still have a future at the club.

He told TNT Sports: "I hope that Marcus comes back because he’s a special player. I don’t know what happened between Marcus and Ruben, but I don’t think there’s any denying his talent.

"I don’t think Marcus should’ve been in a position where he shouldered all the weight for everything. In our team, he would’ve been the third or fourth guy, so he wouldn’t have to bare all the responsibility because a lot of that would’ve been taken off his shoulders."

Hargreaves added: "There was too much emphasis on these young guys to be the main man, and they should never have found themselves in that position at just 20 years of age. They needed a striker who was 26-28 years old and then the youngsters could have learned the ropes like everyone did previously at the club.

"I think Marcus is a super talent and the club could use him. And with Kobbie (Mainoo), I think he’ll be straight back into the team with the side playing a back four."
