‘Ronaldinho skill’ – Fans mock Marcus Rashford as Man Utd star made a ‘harmless’ heel strike for his teammate

Coach Erik ten Hag pursed his lips in frustration with the ineffective technical display, making it impossible for MU teammates to understand what his student Marcus Rashford meant.

MU ended 2023 with an unacceptable defeat. Only facing Nottingham Forest who are struggling in the relegation battle, the Red Devils played weakly and suffered a 1-2 loss.

Starting from Christian Eriksen’s successful possession, the ball reached Rashford’s feet right in front of the Nottingham penalty area. Instead of jumping quickly with his teammates, striker number 10 held the ball for a while with his back to the home team’s goal.

Rashford then launched a backheel that was not meant for anyone and the ball slowly rolled into the hands of goalkeeper Matt Turner. Witnessing his student’s ineffective technical display in a match where MU needed to maximize opportunities, coach Erik ten Hag pursed his lips in frustration on the sideline.

On social media, some Red Devils fans could not hide their frustration when witnessing Marcus Rashford’s handling of the situation.

One person exclaimed: “He thinks he’s Ronaldinho.”

The second person continued: “What a great heel strike. Thought we had Ronaldinho for 1 second!”

A third person said: “He thinks he’s cool.”
