Rashford has not been in great form lately and more than ever, Ralf Rangnick must find a way to revive the pride of the people of Manchester.
'I don't understand what happened'
" Actually I don't understand what happened, I think he's trying really hard. In practice, he's been playing well for the past few days, so that's why he started in the first place. Those are some of the comments of coach Ralf Rangnick about Marcus Rashford, who has been in a decline in form recently and was criticized by many fans in the match against Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup .
It is hard to imagine a 24-year-old player, who is the mainstay of Man Utd, played 286 games, scored 91 goals and provided 59 assists, and is in unbelievable bad form. The alarming decline of Marcus Rashford since the second half of last season until now has partly made the Manucians feel angry but also a little worried.
This season, after 11 matches in the Premier League, Rashford has only scored 2 goals. In all competitions, the achievement of 'number 10' MU is 3 goals after half a season. This is an unacceptable parameter for a player most expected in the young generation of the Red Devils. So much so that, through each match, R10 only received an average score.
Explaining his poor performance, Rashford has spoken many times, but those words have not been understood by the fans. They think that is not the true mind of the star born in 1997. Therefore, instead of trying to explain, Rashford should perform well when he has the opportunity to play. Because this midfielder's performance against Aston Villa was a disaster.
The 24-year-old player lacks vitality in the collective of Man Utd. He is lazy to move, catches the broken ball or is 'greedy' when he has the ball at his feet. Rashford seems to be dissatisfied with something at Old Trafford that has affected his performance clearly. This was not the man the Manucians used to know. He played football as if he had surrendered to fate and surrendered to everything.
Why so much?
Perhaps, because of the presence of Ronaldo and a new tactic, Ralf Rangnick's new approach to the game partly influenced the English striker. With CR7 on the attack in a 4-2-2-2 diagram, in theory, MU's two wings will benefit when the Portuguese superstar has the ability to attract good defenders, giving the two wings a chance. football club and Sancho is the one who does this very well.
What about Rashford? He was rather clumsy and seemed lost. Many times, R10 seems to play the ball on its own. However, in the recent match against Villans, Ronaldo was not allowed to play , Rangnick also switched to a 4-2-3-1 formation, but the 24-year-old star still could not find himself. All are confused with what Rashford brings to the team.
The striker born in 1997 is entering a difficult period, maybe he has been sensitive since returning from shoulder surgery. Regardless, Rangnick's role in the near future is to revive Rashford. People in Manchester do not want Carrington players to decline forever. And this star wearing the number 10 shirt should also be aware of the responsibility to improve himself.
Man Utd's upcoming schedule is not too easy, but it will be an opportunity for Rashford to find his self. The 24 midfielder will surely want to play more than ever, and if he is to be trusted again, he needs to shake himself off this decline. Rashford – show why you are part of the pride!
