Manchester United's manager Ruben Amorim has received a warning from former player Michael Owen regarding the performance of Marcus Rashford. Despite scoring the first goal of Amorim's tenure and bagging a brace in a 4-0 victory against Everton, Rashford has found himself out of Amorim's preferred starting lineup and was even benched for Premier League matches against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. He did start in the Europa League game against Viktoria Plzen, but was substituted after failing to make an impact in a central role.
As the team prepares for a crucial game against arch-rivals Manchester City, Owen has challenged Rashford to improve mentally in order to regain his top form. According to the former United striker, Rashford's struggles do not stem from his ability, but rather his mentality. However, Owen believes that the new regime under Amorim may bring out the best in the 27-year-old and help him reach his full potential.
Despite concerns about Rashford, Owen is optimistic about the direction of the team under Amorim. The new manager has already won three of his first six games since taking over in November, and Owen believes that the team is already showing signs of improvement. He notes that they are creating more chances and scoring more goals, making them a much better team than their previous form. Owen encourages fans to be patient and give Amorim time to continue developing the team, as the future looks promising for Manchester United.
