On January 31, Beijing time, the British "Sun" reported the latest situation on Manchester United football team striker Marcus Rashford. Rashford's recent behaviour has reportedly sparked discontent among his team-mates and he faces the challenge of winning back the trust in the dressing room. The Manchester United Academy graduate, who contributed 30 goals to the club last season but has only scored four goals so far this season, has been questioned by fans and team-mates alike.
According to the report, some of Rashford's behaviour, particularly clubbing and missing training, has affected his status in the squad. His close friends, such as Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Jadon Sancho, have either left or gone on loan, leaving Rashford feeling isolated. This situation caused his mood to become moody in training and games, and he did not seem happy, and his relationship with his teammates became distant.
Manchester United's new boss Erik ten Hag showed his admiration for Rashford in the early days of his tenure and helped him regain his form. However, as time went on, Rashford's performances and attitude on the pitch caused concern among fans and the coaching staff. TalkSport has revealed that Manchester United's coaching staff are concerned that Marcus Rashford's lifestyle may have had a negative impact on his professional form.
Sources close to Rashford have revealed that he is currently in a "complete self-destructive mode" and that changes in his social circle have had a negative impact on him. This situation not only affected his personal life, but also posed a threat to his career. There are fears that if this continues, Rashford could lose his place at Manchester United and even affect his entire football career.
For Manchester United, Marcus Rashford's form is undoubtedly a serious challenge. As a top-class football club, Manchester United needs to ensure that its players are not only technically excellent, but also mentally and behaviourally up to the standards of a professional footballer. It's a pivotal moment for Marcus Rashford himself, as he needs to reflect on his behaviour and rediscover the motivation to focus on football in order to get back to his top and regain his place in the hearts of the team and the fans.
As the season continues, whether Rashford can overcome these difficulties and reprove his worth will be an important point to watch for United and his career. For Manchester United fans and the football community, his future is worth keeping an eye on.
