Man Utd news: Marcus Rashford future in new twist as imminent attack revamp given green light

Manchester United will have decisions to make during the summer transfer window, both in the dugout and on the pitch

Manchester United picked up another three points on Monday night as they look to cement themselves as Champions League contenders. Just one goal was enough for Michael Carrick's side at Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Benjamin Sesko coming off the bench to bag the winner.

Crystal Palace will be the next visitors to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon. United won the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park in November, coming from behind thanks to goals from Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount.

United know that if they keep winning, none of their rivals will be able to stop them securing a top four finish. There are matches against rivals Chelsea and Liverpool on the horizon, though, so it won't be easy.

Carrick's team selection has attracted attention despite United winning on Monday, while questions remain regarding Marcus Rashford's future. Here are our latest lines from around Old Trafford.

Barcelona's Rashford 'plan'

Barcelona have the option to sign Marcus Rashford for around £26million at the end of his loan spell. However, the Catalan club are reported to be keen to negotiate the price down.

According to Sport, Rashford's agent Arturo Canales has met with Barca sporting director Deco to discuss the player's future. Deco is said to be keen to drive the price down and land Rashford for a little less, though there is no suggestion at present that the club would walk away if United say no.

Rashford has 10 goals and 13 assists for Barcelona this season despite not being a regular starter. He has recently been out through injury but returned to the bench for a weekend victory over Levante.

Carrick given Neville advice

Benjamin Sesko made the case for more starts with his goal on Monday but the big question concerns who the striker should replace. He came on for Amad against Everton to prompt a reshuffle across the front line and former United captain Gary Neville believes that's a change which should be made from the start next time out.

Neville gave United boss Carrick the green light to revamp his attack for the club's next game as he told Sky Sports: "I think now on Sunday Michael Carrick starts him. Just feeling how Michael would look at that, I think it would kill the lad if he didn't start.

"I think what you'll see on Sunday is Cunha to the left, Mbeumo to the right, Sesko up top and Bruno in behind. I think Amad will just slip out for a game, he has been really good but I think Sesko starts."
