Man Utd news: Star enjoys playing for country more than United - big claim
MANCHESTER UNITED star Marcus Rashford enjoys playing for England more than he does his club side.

That is the opinion of former England and Manchester City striker Darius Vassell.
Rashford struggled to nail down a regular starting spot in the Premier League at Manchester United last season.
The 20-year-old is not a guaranteed starter at international level either but starred in the 2-0 friendly win over Costa Rica on Thursday, scoring a stunning goal.
Vassell, who played 22 times for England, admits he preferred putting on a Three Lions shirt.
He does play better for England it seems
And he reckons that could be the same for Marcus Rashford.
“He does play better for England it seems,” Vassell said on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“That might be a case of the fact he enjoys it more, it might be a case of there being a higher standard of players around him.
“I know that’s hard to say with the club that he plays for.

“But I always found it more enjoyable playing for England. I felt like I got better service, I got the ball better.
“The way that I play the game I was getting picked out more with passes and I just felt more comfortable at England.
“That’s strange, you’d think there was more pressure at England.
“But for somebody like Rashford, this might be his platform.”
