Marcus Rashford has been struggling in front of the net this season and former Manchester United star Steve Bruce believes he needs to have a word with himself. This was evident in the defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday night where Rashford had a torrid evening, ultimately being replaced on the hour mark.
Rashford scored 30 goals last season but so far he has just two this season. Bruce commented on this when he said “We’ve been talking now and the first one you look at is why all of a sudden Marcus Rashford, after how good he was, how good he played for England a few weeks ago, [has gone] to what you see now. Is he not happy playing on the right, what is wrong? We aren’t going to know what has happened behind the scenes if anything has happened. When he comes off, he shows that petulance, he is not happy. I think he needs to have a look at himself, to start with.”
Rashford has started his last four matches on the right of attack with Alejandro Garnacho preferred on the left. Another United legend Paul Scholes also slammed Rashford after his showing at Newcastle and Ten Hag is now planning a private chat with his player amid his terrible form. Ten Hag explained his decision to not discuss the situation with the media, saying “I will talk to him and not the media.”
It is clear that Marcus Rashford has been struggling this season, but it is yet to be seen if Ten Hag can help him get back to his best form. It is evident from the comments of Bruce and Scholes that they are concerned with how the season has gone for Rashford, and they will be hoping to see a positive change soon.
