Paul Ince tells why Manchester United chiefs are to be blamed for Marcus Rashford’s struggling
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Ince thinks The Red Devils made a wrong decision when tasking Marcus Rashford to lead the line for the club.
As Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez left the club for Inter Milan, Rashford was alone in struggling to score for the Red Devils.
Rashford has scored only once during his seven appearances.
Speaking on the footballer’s huge trials to score for United, Ince said: "Marcus Rashford is a concern for me, he's struggling. You do need to remember that he's played a lot of football for a kid so young, and there is so much pressure on him because United are so reliant on him. They haven't gone out and bought a centre-forward, so the onus is on Rashford to perform consistently. United simply haven't got a lethal striker, and Rashford doesn't look like that to me yet either. The way he's being played at the minute, and the over-reliance on him, is really impacting his performances and he knows that. As a young player you will lose your confidence. Rashford is clearly a little bit down and not quite right, and that's where the leaders at the club need to recognise that and pull him up."
The Englishman also stressed what Rashford needs to become a United goalscoring legend: "He's a talented player, but it's not working for him at the moment. Technically, he's very good, but for me he lacks composure. When you look at players like Eric Cantona, Alan Shearer and Ian Wright, the composure they had was incredible. With Rashford, he gets a little touch excited and he either smashes it or looks unsure. My advice for him would be to get out on that training ground, afternoon after afternoon, and work on it. Ole needs to get him working on it too, just take him to one side with a coach and get him working on his composure. It will improve him as a player - and in turn his confidence will come back too."
