His lousy raid spoke volumes. In the Manchester Derby, Marcus Rashford was given half an hour to turn the tide for United. But the former teen sensation has lost his x-factor for a while. For the first time, the child of the house has doubts about the future at his Manchester United.
How beautiful they were, the teenage years of Marcus Rashord.
A 17-year-old pupil of Manchester United made his debut for the A-team in the Europa League against Midtjylland. Uninhibited, the quick-witted winger makes Old Trafford squeal with pleasure with 2 pearls.
The Reds’ loyal following immediately fell in love with their latest teenage sensation. When he decides the Manchester Derby a month later with a wonderful goal, his name takes on a life of its own outside the stadium.
Manchester United already own their next star.
Marcus Rashford is not only a phenomenon on the field. The young Englishman also shows his unadulterated class off the field.
In March 2020, he started a campaign to ensure that no child would go hungry during the corona crisis. An action that earned United’s regular base pawn a decoration.
Rashford has not been awarded prizes in recent months on the field. Under Ralf Rangnick he heats the tank more than he likes. During the few moments he gets to prove himself, he can no longer shine as usual.
Passed in the pecking order by other juvenile violence: Sancho and Elanga. That makes Rashford think. About his own game, but also about his future at Manchester United.
“Marcus Rashford has doubts about his future because he is concerned about how many minutes he will get,” transfer guru Fabrizio Romano said.
Scapegoat of wandering United
No, the carefree game is not only lost at Rashford. Even after a coach change, the image of Manchester United is depressing.
Against city rivals Manchester City, the great power in England once again swallows too easy goals and does not care enough about De Bruyne and co. to disturb.
The fans are displeased with their team, which is currently clinging to 5th place in the Premier League. And then Rashford’s dissatisfaction with his role in the team only adds fuel to the fire.
The 24-year-old star gets hit on social media. Some of the supporters criticize his attitude. “If I were Rashford, I would be ashamed to see a 19-year-old kick me out of the squad.”
Marcus Rashford’s teenage dream could just turn out to be a fizzle. Does the England international’s future lie outside of Manchester?
The next teenage sensation is ready to take over the sash.
