It seems that Marcus Rashford still has the aftereffects of the summer and played quite disappointingly against Man City.
Despite his clear decline in form since last season, Marcus Rashford was still trusted by Erik Ten Hag in the Super Cup match against Man City.
Ten Hag arranged him to play on the left wing. He handed over the false striker position to Mason Mount.
Man Utd’s playing style was not bad at all. They were not overwhelmed by Man City’s possession and also created some good chances.
In the first half, Rashford should have opened the scoring
From a coordinated situation outside Man City’s penalty area in the 36th minute.
Casemiro had a situation to pass the ball to Marcus Rashford.
Number 18 put the English striker in a favorable position.
However, in front of him was goalkeeper Ederson.
Rashford disappointingly blasted his shot wide from close range.
However, there will be no excuses for Rashford in the 74th minute.
In the 75th minute, United were on the counter. Garnacho raced past the defence on the right flank, slotting a through ball to Rashford on the left.
All Rashford faced was Ederson and an open goal.
In a frustrating moment for United, Rashford’s shot hit the upright
In a derby match, Rashford missed two good chances. It is not surprising that Sofascore gave him 6.5 points. This is the worst score compared to those who started in the Red Devils’ attack.
The audience at Wembley also seemed unable to believe that Rashford missed such a good chance.
Alejandro Garnacho gave Manchester United the lead in the closing moments of the game.
However, Bernardo Silva tied the score in the 89th minute and forced an excruciating penalty shootout between the two clubs. Man City emerged victorious in this match and claimed the Community Shield.
Maybe Marcus was by far the most underwhelming player on the pitch – and Man United fans are already turning against him:
The first person said: “Sell Rashford as soon as yesterday”
The second fans continue: “Rashford needs to learn how to bury chances”
Another one express: “Honestly if we want to progress as a team Rashford shouldn’t be starting for us”
The fourth comments: “The Rashford we were told is becoming his own best version. Worst I’ve ever seen”
