Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, has expressed concern over Marcus Rashford’s recent dip in form, following a lackluster performance against Newcastle. In the 1-0 defeat, Rashford’s minimal impact on the game drew criticism for his apparent failure to track back and contribute defensively. TNT Sports pundit Jermaine Jenas condemned Rashford’s body language, highlighting moments where the forward seemed disinterested in defensive duties.
Ten Hag, acknowledging the issue, assured that he would address Rashford privately, stating, “I will talk to him and not the media. He works hard, and he will recover with our support.” However, former United legend Paul Scholes was more critical, stating that Rashford is “causing more harm than good” with his recent performances and questioning his attitude on the pitch.
The overall assessment of Manchester United’s performance against Newcastle was bleak, with Scholes describing the team as “lazy” and emphasizing the need for a stronger work ethic. The defeat raised concerns about the team’s current state and the collective responsibility of players to put in a more concerted effort on the field.
