Marcus Rashford was “the victim as much as the cause” during his Manchester United races, according to Stan Collymore.
Rashford joined Aston Villa in January in an initial loan deal by the end of the season with the West Midlands Club having the option of making the move permanent in the summer for £ 40 million.
He finished an unhappy spell at Old Trafford for England International, which had frozen under the new boss Ruben Amorim.
Rashford came through the United ranks, making 426 appearances and scoring 138 goals, but has faced criticism for the last 18 months for a perceived lack of excitement.
Collymore is unfaithful, however, the 27 -year -old should not be very responsible.
