Not only did Marcus Rashford fail for the third consecutive match, he also made Man Utd fans angry with a very superficial pressing situation against Luton Town.
Minute 90+1, Rashford lazily dragged his feet to accompany Luton Town’s Ross Barkley in round 25 of the Premier League. The English striker has no fierceness, while his body language speaks of “laziness”.
Ross Barkley held the ball like no one else, easily surpassing Rashford. The Man Utd striker then did not bother to follow the former Chelsea player. At this time, the score is 2-1 in favor of the “Red Devils”.
Witnessing Rashford’s irresponsible play, social network users criticized the Man Utd striker. They believe that the “Red Devils” striker receives a high salary, but is irresponsible, plays football superficially and hardly pays attention to the fact that Ross Barkley can create a dangerous situation on Andre Onana’s goal.
One person said: “Rashford is an absolute joke this is toxic if you allow one player to simply say I can’t be armed don’t be surprised when the rest do the same”
The second fan expressed: “Rashford is on £300,000 a week! If you did this once in Pep’s team you’d be benched right away if not sold”
Another one angry: “If you’re Gareth Southgate, and you’re 2-1 up in a Euro knockout game, there is no way Marcus Rashford deserves a place in the team that’s holding on.
“For context he then sprinted for a break 30 seconds later”
Supporters have already taken a whack at Rashford for his careless pressing. In Brighton’s opening-day loss of the season, the English striker showed no desire to press, jogging aimlessly as Brighton moved the ball from defense to midfield.
Man Utd defeated Luton Town 2-1 at Kenilworth Road thanks to a double from Rasmus Hojlund. Rashford completed two of his three shots in this game with crucial passes, giving him a 77% passing accuracy rate.
After taking a breather, Rashford—who hasn’t said anything in the last three games—finally returned to the ground. Right now, Hojlund is Manchester United’s most entertaining striker.
