GARY NEVILLE is worried for Marcus Rashford after he was left out of the Man Utd team to face Leicester.
Ralf Rangnick didn’t play an out and out striker and his side struggled to make their mark in the final third of the 1-1 draw.
Rashford, 24, has made 20 Prem appearances this term so far and netted four goals.
He was dropped by England boss Gareth Southgate for the games against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.
And Rangnick made the bold choice to start Bruno Fernandes as a false nine before introducing Rashford in place of Scott McTominay in the 55th minute.
Before kick-off Neville told Sky Sports: “It is a staggering situation and there are two things (to say about it) really.

“One is that Manchester United started the season with (Edinson) Cavani, (Mason) Greenwood, (Marcus) Rashford, (Anthony) Martial and (Cristiano) Ronaldo and they end up with no centre-forward against Manchester City or today against Leicester.
“There is also the fact that one of those forwards – Rashford – is on the bench.
“We have talked about Harry Maguire coming off the back of a bit of a tough period.
“But Marcus Rashford is having a massive low. To not be starting in that Man Utd team is saying something.

“To play without a centre-forward at home against Leicester is a big decision by Ralf Rangnick.”
The hosts struggled to find a cutting edge in the final third during a lacklustre first half.
Bruno Fernandes directed a shot straight at Kasper Schmeichel in the 17th minute and directed another at the keeper near the half-hour mark.
And it was not until the 66th minute that they found the back of the net, with Fred scoring to cancel out Kelechi Iheanacho’s goal for Leicester.
Rashford found himself in space in the box with a chance to shoot late on, but lost the control of the ball seconds before Schmeichel claimed it.
United, who are sixth and three points behind Arsenal, have not picked up a win in the league since their defeat of Brighton in mid-February.
The club will be hoping for better luck when they visit Everton with Frank Lampard’s side battling to avoid relegation.
