As a result of his recent performances and the team’s goal-scoring problems, Marcus Rashford of Manchester United appears to be the target of a barrage of criticism that has drawn parallels to that of Anthony Martial, another struggling forward.
Rasmus Hojlund and Antony, two of United’s international powerhouses, both failed to score in a 1-0 loss to Newcastle, adding to their terrible recent form. Rashford, who has managed just two goals in eighteen games this season, was replaced after an hour, and his evident annoyance on the field, as if he were doubting his continued involvement with the club, grabbed attention.
After comparing Rashford to Anthony Martial, Sky Sports analyst Jamie Carragher harshly criticized the player’s performance. He compared Martial’s apparent lack of effort to Rashford’s failure to step up when the team was down.
Manchester United great Roy Keane agreed, saying that Rashford should set an example as a senior player. Keane drew a comparison between Rashford’s recent performances and his crucial role as a club local player, highlighting Rashford’s need to make defensive contributions and demonstrate leadership traits.
The forthcoming match between Manchester United and Chelsea has taken center stage as United finds themselves in seventh place in the Premier League and confronts concerns regarding their European campaign. With a renewed sense of purpose and a desire to get back on track, the squad will be looking to get back on track and regain their footing.
