​Manchester United starlet Marcus Rashford may be lighting up Old Trafford with the goals to save the club's season, but he's still not worthy of a place in the senior dressing room in training, as ​the Mirror report.





It's believed that Louis van Gaal is putting his foot down to make sure Rashford continues to mingle with his fellow youngsters in James Weir, Joe Riley and Donald Love before mixing with the big names, until further notice.

The Dutchman allegedly wants Rashford to 'earn the right' to change and socialise with the senior figures at the club, despite the youngster scoring five goals in his first eight games for the club, as he feels it is not the right time yet.





The idea behind it is to keep the young stars grounded and get them to keep working hard, and rumours suggest they aren't even allowed to eat with the first teamers at lunch.

A United source claims that the players in question are happy with the segregation and are prepared to continue earning their place with the senior players.





"They have to earn the right to make the next step up with the seniors. They all know the score and are happy with that. Staying with their own age group helps keep them grounded.





"They will get the call to the senior dressing room at Carrington when the manager and his coaches think the time is right."





Manchester United are just a point behind rivals Manchester City in fourth place, but will be challenged for a place in the Champions League by surprise package West Ham United.





A goal from Rashford helped United beat their bitter rivals at the Etihad, but they still face some tough games ahead.
