Manchester United Star Marcus Rashford’s Playing Style Raises Concerns
Manchester United’s seasoned player Marcus Rashford has spent an impressive nine seasons in the senior team. During this time, he has seen a revolving door of managers, including the likes of Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Ralph Rangnick, and Eric ten Hag (with the exception of the short-lived Michael Karick, who managed merely four games).
Last season, Rashford made waves by scoring an impressive 30 goals in all competitions, his highest tally yet.
An Attacker Trapped in a Frustrating Role
Originally positioned as an attacker, Rashford transitioned to the role of a “left forward” in a 4-2-3-1 system. This move marked the beginning of what can only be described as a ‘hellish’ period in his career. The individual tasked with feeding the attackers ended up paying the price, while the supposed finisher struggled to find the back of the net.
This frustrating situation weighs heavily on Rashford, who displays sheer exasperation.
Failure to Learn from His Peers
Rashford has had the opportunity to play alongside esteemed strikers such as Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo, and even Harry Kane. Surprisingly, it seems that he has failed to absorb any lessons from these remarkable forwards.
Though renowned for his agility, speed, and versatility, Rashford’s decision-making on the field leaves much to be desired. At 25 years old, he has yet to utilize his abilities effectively.
A Self-Centered Playing Style
As a winger, Rashford’s primary responsibility is to provide opportunities for his teammates to score. Modern wingers have the freedom to cut inside, exploit the penalty area, and wait for the perfect moment to unleash a shot according to the game’s tempo.
Yet, Rashford consistently showcases a style of play that screams “me, myself, and I.” He exhibits poor coordination with his teammates and appears more focused on personal glory rather than supporting the team.
Recent games have vividly depicted Rashford’s self-centered approach. Despite having new teammate Rasmus Hoylund in advantageous positions, Rashford shows little inclination to pass the ball accurately. Instead, he appears to blindly charge forward, hoping to find an opportunity to shoot, disregarding any alternative plays.
Adding to the disappointment is Rashford’s lack of fighting spirit, aggression, dedication, and unwillingness to persevere. His demeanor on the field is disheartening, reflecting a player who easily surrenders.
These observations evoke a sense of sadness and concern for the player.
Frustration for Manager Eric ten Hag
Unfortunately, Rashford’s playing style poses a direct challenge to the vision of his manager, Eric ten Hag. The Dutchman’s philosophy revolves around deep ball placement through effective teamwork, aiming to dismantle the opposition’s defense and create scoring opportunities for Rashford.
However, the formation desired by the Red Devils’ manager crumbles when the ball reaches Rashford, who too often indulges in individual play rather than utilizing his unique abilities to solve immediate problems effectively.
It remains perplexing as to when we will witness Rashford’s growth and maturity on the pitch.

1. I have been in Manchester United’s senior team for 9 seasons now. He has gone through 5 different managers: Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Ralph Rangnick and Eric ten Hag (not counting Michael Ka). Arrick, who only managed 4 games)
The biggest boom last season scoring 30 goals in all competitions, the most since playing football.
2. At first the womb was opened and he was born an attacker. Before switching to play as a ‘left forward’ in a 4-2-3-1 system, which was the start of the ‘hell moment’
‘Hell time’ is the person who should be paid to rise. The guy who was supposed to shoot was paying. And the guy who was supposed to pay pushed …. kicked and shot.
This is what the ghost boy is fed up with.
3. Played with many great strikers, including Wayne Rooney, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ro. Naldo and without excluding Harry Kane
But it was as if he had never learned anything from the forwards he had worked with.
He is an agile player. Flexible and fast But he didn’t play smart, he was stubborn, stubborn, and he didn’t use his own abilities to his advantage even though he was already 25 years old!!!
4. In fact, the main duty of the wing attacker is to give the attacker the opportunity to attack the net.
Modern wingers are also allowed to cut inside or dive into the penalty area. Find the moment to shake the trigger according to the rhythm of the game
But what we see from this star player on a regular basis is his style of play. ‘I came alone’ does not coordinate well with teammates. And maybe you could say…play for yourself. More than playing for the team
Examples from recent games clearly reflect the ‘Rash’ style of play.
There were many moments when the new striker, Rasmus Hoylund, moved to stay and dive into a charge. He rarely passed the ball so carefully.
What I saw was that I was closing my eyes, pulling and dragging, trying to cut through the thickets of paws. To find the moment to shoot myself And if it’s not really about to happen Don’t expect to pass the ball.
What’s worse is that they have no fighting spirit. No aggression, no dedication, no courage to fight, and give up too easily.
When I saw it, I was very sad.
5. Let me tell you, if you keep playing for yourself like this Who will be the first person to be destroyed?
His boss, Eric ten Hag, is just that.
The Dutchman’s philosophy is to place the ball deep inside and tap into the channels through teamwork.
When the ball reached Marcus Rashford, the formation the Red Devils manager wanted to see collapse in one fell swoop. before becoming a drama with unique abilities Then solving immediate problems one shot at a time.
Until now, I still don’t know how to grow up!!!
