Marcus Rashford 'was one of the two players to turn down the Man United captaincy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer' after the Norwegian lifted the lid on his doomed Old Trafford reign earlier this week

Marcus Rashford was reportedly one of the players who turned down the opportunity to be Manchester United captain under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

This week, the Norwegian revealed to The Athletic how his spell as club manager at Old Trafford fell apart, with his side losing 38 matches and drawing 33 more in his 149-game stint.

He said that some of the club's top stars had rejected the opportunity of captaincy, but did not name those who chose not to take up the position of responsibility.

But The Sun report quotes from an unnamed source who outed Pogba and Rashford as the stars who rejected the opportunity.
