Lots being said in the papers about concerns both inside and outside of Man Utd about the lifestyle that Rashford is leading and possibly poor advice from those close to him leading him astray. When someone in their 20s is being paid out £325k a week its no surprise to me that the devil does indeed find work for idle thumbs.

Perhaps football as a whole needs to take more responsibility for helping to protect the younger and more impressionable players who after all are the most likely to serve as role models for kids.

Percentage of wages over x amount paid into a trust fund for players under 21?
Specially trained mentors/minders?
Obligatory counselling / mental health help?

Rightly or wrongly footballers are paid huge amounts and that money does very easily attract the wrong kind of attention.
