A former Premier League manager has pointed out the flaw in Marcus Rashford's game currently hurting Erik ten Hag and Manchester United.
Marcus Rashford’s defensive frailties have forced Erik ten Hag to play him centrally in an effort to get Manchester United’s stuttering season back on track.
Rashford was rewarded with a new five-year contract last summer, but has struggled for confidence and form in recent weeks. : “I think a lot of that comes from confidence and form and everything else that goals get you, but the one thing about Rashford is [that] he’s never been a great defender of the side of the pitch.
“The back four isn’t great at the moment so you can’t now have [an opposition] full-back raiding down that right-hand side of the pitch.“But offensively, I still see the same player. I still think, when he’s got the ball, he’s danger. Pardew also appeared to question the wisdom behind the club handing Rashford a contract extension, claiming his performances last season weren’t strong enough to merit a new long-term deal.
