Manchester United entered a low ebb early this season, which is directly related to the management chaos of the club, and the main thing is that the whole team has a big problem in thinking. This has also led to a plummeting of Manchester United's goalscoring ability in the Premier League this season, with only 18 goals scored by 18 league games, ranking second to last in terms of goals per game, only five more than Sheffield United, who are deep in the relegation zone.
After Ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, in order to build his own attacking system, he "dismissed" the former minister Cristiano Ronaldo, put Sancho in the cold, was not allowed to eat in the canteen, deprived Maguire of the captain's armband, and alienated McTominay. But now look at the data of the forwards, the newly signed Danish striker Hojlen has 14 appearances, 0 goals and 0 assists, and Mr. Anthony, the 100 million "Compass" Mr. Anthony, has also played 14 times, 0 goals and 0 assists, and these two have been labeled as "parallel goods".
The most regrettable thing is the "prince" Rashford, who has also fallen into confusion this season. Last year, Manchester United was able to enter the Champions League zone, a large part of the reason was because Rashford's form was "explosive", scoring 17 goals in the league, repeatedly staging a drama to turn the tide and help the summer to tilt the general, saving Manchester United and saving Ten Hag. Manchester United then put a generous contract on the table, and Rashford's salary rose to £320,000 a week after the contract was renewed, making it the first tier of wages in the Premier League.
However, Rashford's performance after the contract extension was seriously out of his value, scoring only two goals in 17 league games, and even the starting position on the left wing was snatched by Garnacho, either as a guest at right midfield or as a substitute for Garnacho. In fact, Rashford's state decline has begun to appear since the beginning of the season, since the "good **" Sancho was strictly forbidden to eat in the canteen by Ten Hag, Rashford's state seems to be on the verge of collapse, and it has returned to the previous two seasons, the attack can not break through, walk and defend, and look unhappy on the field, who scratches his head when he sees such a state.
There are two interpretations of Rashford's state, one is that Rashford is angry for Sancho, McTominay, Maguire and other English players, seeing that his brother is so suppressed, he can't be happy, he can only express his dissatisfaction through a bad state, and he was replaced to smash a water bottle to express his anger. The second is to be content with the status quo and not want to forge ahead, after getting a big contract, I feel that I have become a high-class person, and I often decorate myself as a superstar.
These interpretations are speculation, but Rashford's declining form is an indisputable fact, and while it has to do with too many injuries in midfield, with injuries to Casemiro and Christian Eriksen preventing the midfield from delivering firepower forward, Rashford himself is struggling with a club that has been in turmoil for a long time. Ten Hag has also lost patience with Rashford, Garnacho has become the first choice on the left wing, Rashford has become a regular substitute, Ten Hag in order to relieve the pressure on the forwards is also to lead the spearhead to himself, pre-match and post-match press conferences have reversed the game many times, saying Manchester United controlled the game but failed to take the opportunity, the strikers should believe in themselves.
Rashford also dyed his yellow hair, perhaps trying to start from scratch, wondering if it brought him some good luck
