The Red Devils academy graduate put in another forgettable performance against Newcastle, with it suggested that he is not getting the right guidance
Marcus Rashford is being let down by the coaching staff at Manchester United, says Alan Shearer, with the misfiring frontman not being shown how to become a central striker.
He told Match of the Day 2 after seeing Rashford put in another forgettable display in a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle: “I have sympathy with him because this United team is the worst team that I can remember for a number of years and it would be very frustrating as a forward because of the lack of quality and the lack of balls that are coming into the box.
“But I just wonder, I analysed him a couple of weeks ago at West Ham and exactly the same things are happening as they were then - there is no movement. I wonder if anyone is actually saying anything to him because nothing has changed.
“He’s not moving into the box and he’s making it far easier for the defenders than it should be but he is young, he is still learning and it has to be a very frustrating time for him because that team at the moment is awful.”
Another former Three Lions star, Martin Keown, agrees that Rashford is making life too easy for defenders.
The ex-Arsenal centre-half said: “They started playing balls long into Rashford and I feel sorry for him because he survived on scraps but he should do better. If you look at his body language, I think he’s starting to despair for what is around him.
“Rashford should be getting into the box, he’s got to get into that area. A number nine for Manchester United scores goals in there. He should protect the ball better.
“I don’t really want to have a go, particularly at him, but I do feel he is a magnificent player but he’s not affecting the defender. He’s not getting the service, it’s a combination of the two. He wasn’t effective.”
Rashford has netted 13 times in each of the last two seasons, but that is not considered to be a good enough return to make him the leading candidate to become the main man at Old Trafford.

Mr Shearer get off the bottle! Scotch is not milk 🥛. That’s all the talent he has. There are no good English players. The EPL top teams are made up of foreigners both players and coaches. England 🏴 football is a disaster
Only if they will listen!!!

firstly for the love of God he should stop taking the set piece. His team mates watching him take rubbish over and over without any reaction says a lot to be fair, a team of good hungry and capable players would show signs of irritation

Do this man even know the meaning of let down? How do you want them to encourage him than giving him playing time to improve his confidence. Rashford is just too overrated, lets us admit to that!!

How far will you go protecting him? There's a thing called football intelligence and reading the game which no coach can teach you and he doesn't have an ounce of either. + You are paying this dude 250 k a week. He earns more than the entire Liverpool squad and the entire city squad except De Bruyne. The sooner you understand it is the better. This is not bad form this is his level. Loan him to Schalke so he can improve a bit.
