How long ago if feels now that the sight of Marcus Rashford bursting forward with the ball at his feet would bring Manchester United supporters to the edge of their seats and strike fear into the hearts of the defenders trying to stop him.
How long ago it feels, too, that Rashford scored 30 goals just a season and a half ago and it looked as if he might be the man to fire United back to where they once reigned.
Rashford has not kicked a ball in a professional game since the middle of December when Ruben Amorim dragged him off before the hour mark in their Europa League game against Viktoria Plzen and cast him to the shadows.
