In the match of round 14 of the Premier League 2024/25, Manchester United lost to Arsenal with a score of 0-2. This defeat not only made the Red Devils fans sad but also pointed out the serious problems that coach Ruben Amorim needs to overcome to bring the team back to the winning path. Marcus Rashford is one of the most disappointing players.
The English striker was on the field in the 58th minute, but did not make any difference. In about 30 minutes on the field, Rashford had almost no remarkable mark. He did not make any shots, did not have any breakthrough passes or create opportunities for his teammates. He did not even support the team's defense.
In front of this poor performance, legend Roy Keane expressed his anger. On Sky Sports, Keane strongly criticized Rashford: "Rashford came on but his play was terrible." Rashford just had an impressive match when he scored two goals against Everton, helping Manchester United win 4-0. However, his inconsistent form is a big problem for the team. Rashford cannot maintain consistency, which prevents him from becoming a truly excellent player.
Not only was he disappointing during the match, Rashford also angered Manchester United fans with his disrespectful actions after the match ended. While the whole team apologized to the audience, he walked straight into the tunnel, angering the fans. This action was considered disrespectful to those who had cheered for the team throughout the match. Some fans commented that Rashford had no team spirit, only cared about himself and did not appreciate his supporters. Criticism has been rife on social media, with many fans branding Rashford as "arrogant and lacking in humility".
Many Red Devils fans have expressed their anger: "I always thought he was an arrogant player with no team spirit." Another said: "If he stays after the summer transfer window, the club will be in real trouble." Another fan did not hesitate to express his disappointment: "It's a disaster to see Marcus Rashford play like this. He doesn't care about us."
Although Rashford is one of Manchester United's top talents, he needs to face bigger challenges in the future. His unprofessional and disrespectful actions will cost him if he doesn't change soon. For Red Devils fans, seeing a series of failures and a shameful attitude from a player as influential as Rashford is unacceptable. Currently, Manchester United is ranked 11th on the rankings with 19 points after 14 rounds.
