Think it was the Times that ran with this at first and it seemed ridiculous but Pilip de Brun says he's checked the sources and that it is true. Rashford is unhappy at his playing time this season, presumably not the total minutes per se but also the position those minutes have been spent at, and has been voicing this behind Jose's back and this has pissed off Jose. This opens up the distinct possibility that one of Rashford and Martial will be sold (either by their wanting out or Jose wanting rid).
When Zlatan was bought mine and many others concerns with it was the effect it would have on Martial and Rashford. It has become more and more obvious that instead of it having a positive effect through mentoring of them, it has in fact affected them negatively in performance and confidence and happiness. Signing Griezmann will doubtless only exacerbate this. The answer in the Summer to these worries was that Zlatan at his age won't play every game and will be rotated with them. But what we have seen is that Zlatan plays pretty much every game and doesn't get substituted, and that the two kids rotate with each other instead despite both aspiring to be #9s. One might say that this situation was preventable with more rotation of the front spot all season.
That part of what Marcus is unhappy about is that Jose doesn't give so many opportunities to youth (and yet does to 35 year olds), be that in practice or just in reputation, also confirms another concern many had about Jose and how young players would feel about him. So far we have seen Jose adapt his style of football to the United Way but if he doesn't adapt to our Youth tradition to the satisfaction of our young players we may see the likes of Martial, Rashford, Shaw and Academy kids like Pereira looking for better opportunities to play and develop elsewhere. And that would be a real shame.
Obviously hope that Jose can find a balance of rotation for the rest of the season that keeps players happy and doesn't lead him to losing the younger side of the dressing room.
