Former Man Utd midfielder Nicky Butt thinks Marcus Rashford would benefit from a change of scenery in order to fulfill his potential.
The Red Devils forward failed to make an impact as with Rashford staying on the pitch for the full match.
There were very few players who had a good game against their arch-rivals but some supporters again picked out Rashford as one of the worst players on the pitch.
When Butt, who played for Man Utd between 1992 and 2004, was asked what had happened to Rashford, : I don t know and it s actually sad watching that because I ve known Marcus since he was probably eight and nine at Man United coming through and he s always been the one that you hold hope for.

The Anfield faithful will have to wait a little longer to see summer signing Federico Chiesa play his first 90 minutes for Liverpool as Arne Slot doesn t believe he is at the level yet.
signed Chiesa late in the summer transfer window for a fee of around £10m from Juventus, but is yet to make his first start for the club.

Chiesa, a player who was surrounded with so much promise before suffering a horrific ACL injury in 2021, came on as a substitute after the hour mark in .

Missouri professional sports teams are no longer optimistic that state lawmakers can pass a bill and have decided to band together to find a new path towards legalization.
After missing out on potentially millions of dollars in sports betting tax revenue over the last several years, a coalition of state sports franchises, led by representatives from the St. Louis Cardinals, submitted four sports betting initiative petitions to the Missouri Secretary of State on Sept. 9. The petitions all seek to legalize Missouri retail and online sports betting, with state casinos and professional sports franchises eligible for licenses.
Each petition could potentially find its way onto the November 2024 general election ballot.
