Man United Fans Worried About Rashford’s Long-Term Future After Liverpool Defeat
Manchester United fans have raised concerns over Marcus Rashford’s display in Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool at Old Trafford. The 26-year-old failed to register a shot on target for the third consecutive Premier League game this season, with his lack of impact drawing criticism from fans.
Key Moments that Raised Red Flags
The worrying moments came when Rashford was played through on goal with only Ibrahima Konate in the way. However, instead of continuing to run forward and taking on both players, Rashford cut back and wasted the opportunity. Moreover, he was indirectly booed by fans after manager Erik ten Hag chose to replace Alejandro Garnacho with Amad Diallo.
Ten Hag Defends His Decision
Speaking after the game, Ten Hag explained his decision to sub out Rashford, citing Garnacho’s first start of the season and Amad’s ability to impact the game. He acknowledged that Rashford had already provided some excellent assists, including one for Zirkzee, which showed that he was having an influence in the game.
Why Fans are Worried
Rashford’s poor form is a worrying trend for United fans. Despite creating three big chances, he hasn’t taken one himself. His tendency to hesitate in front of goal and give up possession at critical moments has frustrated supporters. This latest disappointment adds to concerns about Rashford’s long-term future at Old Trafford.
Where Did it All Go Wrong?
For Rashford, the problems started at the beginning of the game. He was unable to win the ball back consistently and struggled to make any significant impact in the Liverpool penalty area. His work rate and off-the-ball running were below par, making it easy for Liverpool defenders to handle him.
What Next for Rashford?
Rashford needs to rediscover his form quickly to keep his place in the team. If he fails to step up, fans will grow restless, and Ten Hag might have no choice but to make significant changes. Follow us on all social media platforms for more updates and analysis on Manchester United’s season.
