One fan pointed out 11 mistakes of Marcus Rashford 

According to @SimonUTD11, in the 5th minute, Rashford did not run back to join the defense after letting Tino Livramento pass. In the 14th minute, the Man Utd striker only jogged and did not participate in the ball. Right after that, he tried to make an incomprehensible move and fell down. In the 17th minute, the English striker did not participate in defense, giving Livramento space to get on the ball. By the 21st minute, Rashford did not follow Livramento.

In the 23rd minute, Rashford received the ball on the wing and passed it towards Newcastle’s goalkeeper. In the 25th minute, he passed to the wrong address, causing Wan-Bissaka to be pressured by the opponent and surrounded. Minute 26, the 26-year-old striker just walked. In the 28th minute, he tried to pass the ball past two players, but passed it into the feet of another Newcastle player. By the 42nd minute, Rashford forgot his mission and let Livramento run freely up top.

In the second half, Rashford did not play better. After Anthony Gordon scored the opening goal for Newcastle in the 55th minute, coach Erik Ten Hag had to replace Rashford with Antony. On social network X, the United Stand host used the words “embarrassing” and “lack of effort” for Rashford’s performance.

This season, Rashford has only scored two goals in 18 matches – in contrast to last season’s performance, when he scored 30 goals in 56 matches. According to former England midfielder Tim Sherwood, if he continues to play like he is now, Rashford should not start for England in the Euro 2024 finals.

Meanwhile, coach Erik Ten Hag still protects Rashford. He acknowledged the above problems, but affirmed that his students are making efforts to change. “We support Rashford and he will regain his form,” the Dutch coach added.

After losing to Newcastle, Man Utd fell to seventh in the Premier League. The Red Devils have 24 points after 14 rounds, nine points behind leading team Arsenal and four points behind fourth-placed team Aston Villa. In the Champions League, Man Utd is even about to be eliminated. They are bottom of Group A with four points, one point behind Copenhagen and Galatasaray, while Bayern lead with 13 points. To win tickets to continue, Man Utd needs to win against Bayern in the final round, and hope that the Copenhagen – Galatasaray match ends in a draw.
