Who knows if Marcus Rashford will be happy on his birthday. Certainly not for the results of his Manchester United, also beaten by West Ham in the championship and sunk to fourteenth place with eleven points in nine games, only eight goals scored and, above all, a lot of criticism towards him after starting 14 games in total and only 4 goals, of which two in the Carabao Cup. The gossips also spoke of the terrible relationship with Erik ten Hag who, publicly, had spoken this way about the striker. “When your lifestyle is not adequate, you cannot perform.
“He must improve his life, his attitude in training and matches. When he can be professional, he will perform at his best. All players in the Premier League, and at this club, know that resilience is needed. He needed help. For example, someone to support him, but in the end, he has to be the one to do it.”
Perhaps at the moment of the Dutchman’s dismissal he may have uncorked an important bottle, but he cannot be entirely happy with his performances. Because the club also has some doubts about him and could think about putting him on the transfer list over the next few months if his performance does not improve. Marcus Rashford turns 27 today.
