MU started the new season with regret when losing to Man City in the penalty shootout and had to watch "The Noisy Neighbors" win the English Super Cup. "The Red Devils" had at least 3 chances to end the match but they could not. The most blameworthy is probably Marcus Rashford.
Rashford's terrible finish in the Community Shield
The English striker had 2 extremely delicious chances during his minutes on the field. The first situation happened in the second half of the first half. Rashford was in a comfortable position, the pass was also suitable for the movement but this player put his right foot straight out, making all MU fans regret.
The "Red Devils" number 10 continued to make fans "gasp" with a missed shot in the second half. Still facing the goalkeeper in a very comfortable position, Rashford shot straight into the post. If that was a goal, MU probably wouldn't have had to take a penalty shootout with Man City. Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the one-time "penalty box king", could only sigh and sigh on the coaching bench.
In fact, Rashford's poor scoring form has been going on since last season. The English striker has only scored a total of 7 goals for the "Red Devils" in all competitions. That is the quality of a player who is still learning, not of a striker with 8 years of experience playing in the Premier League .
Rashford's poor form was part of the reason why striker coach Benny McCarthy had to leave United. That position now belongs to Van Nistelrooy and the Dutchman is gradually feeling a headache.
Basically, Rashford has all the skills to score goals. However, the English striker often makes the wrong decision when shooting the ball. This is something that MU's No. 10 needs to improve himself because no one can finish for Rashford.
Compared to last season, the English striker has been less eager to dribble and make reasonable passes. However, if Rashford continues his poor scoring form, Ten Hag should consider putting this player on the bench.
In terms of personnel, MU has enough players to fill that position such as Sancho, Garnacho, Zirkzee, and even Bruno Fernandes.
Not only does it create conditions for other players to have the opportunity to play, pushing Rashford to the bench also carries a bigger message. That is, the number 10 of MU must try harder to regain his starting position.
