Stability has been conspicuous by its absence at Old Trafford for some time now.. From the bench to the players themselves, everything seems like it could blow up at any moment. The most notable is always Erik ten Hag, a friend of critics and whose future in office is always discussed. However, fans have another recurring target at which to throw their darts and it is none other than Marcus Rashford. The English forward was called to be the great leader of Manchester United during these years, but His irregular performance has hindered his football.
There was a season in which he shone as expected of him, being the offensive reference of the ‘Red Devils’ and doing very good numbersbut as usually happens with Marcus, That moment of inspiration lasted just a few months. Last season was a complete disaster for United’s ’10’. He could only score 8 goals and was left out of the Euro Cup.
However, it seems to have started a little better in this one and His coach has taken the opportunity to give him some praise… and some taunts.. “When your lifestyle is not adequate, you cannot perform”stated Ten Hag referring to the English striker.
The Dutch coach did not hesitate to criticize the ’10’ despite his good start: “He has to improve his life, his attitude in training and in games. When he manages to be a professional, he will perform”. Erik acknowledged that his soccer player went through bad times, which he seems to have overcome. “All the Premier League players, at this club, know that resilience is needed. I needed help. For example, someone would support him, but, at the end of the day, he has to do it for himself.”the coach commented at a press conference.
A hopeful beginning
The setback of the Eurocup seemed to wake up a Rashford who He began uploading videos training alone to his social networks. The fans reds They were very excited about a possible improvement for their franchise player and, although the first games were not the best for the forward, he has gradually raised his level. In fact, He has already accumulated two goals, which is not a very spectacular number, but he is only six away from equaling his mark in 23/24.
Meanwhile, Erik, delighted with this new version of his footballer: “It’s very good that your forwards start scoring at the beginning of the season, they need that confidence. Now we have a couple of players who have scored and that is good for the team”.
Despite the ‘sticks’ he gave him regarding his professionalism, he recognizes his improvement: “He knows when there are setbacks, how to fight and straighten out his career and his performance. He took control of that and is on his way back. “The season started very well, now it has to continue and progress.”
