Marcus Rashford is facing the consequences of his recent drop in form as he is expected to take a seat on the Manchester United bench.
In the 2022/23 season, Rashford had a stellar performance, scoring a personal record of 30 goals. However, this season has seen both Rashford and Manchester United struggling to find their top form.
Currently sitting in ninth place in the Premier League and having suffered losses in their first two Champions League games, no player is exempt from being benched.
This includes Rashford, as reported by The Sun, who suggests that the English forward will not be in the starting lineup for today’s home match against Brentford.
A victory against Thomas Frank’s team is crucial for Manchester United to dispel the prevailing negativity at Old Trafford.
Erik ten Hag has openly acknowledged Rashford’s inconsistent form in the lead-up to the game.
He admitted that the 25-year-old is going through a tough period, stating, “It’s normal you are not always right at the same levels.”
“Everyone knows the qualities of him and if Rashy does the things right and the team does, it’s up to him. We have seen in the last weeks he is coming in good positions, he is struggling, but it will pass.”
“Everyone knows the qualities, everyone at Man United backs him, the whole team supports him and believes in him, I am sure with that it will change and this will pass.”
“Strikers, when they don’t score for a moment, they need one goal, then they step over. When he is doing the right things, and he is doing the right things, the momentum will come and he will be on fire.”
Antony might return to Premier League action, having recently appeared as a substitute against Galatasaray. However, Jadon Sancho remains sidelined due to his disagreement with Ten Hag.
