Rashford Under Fire For Being A Negative Role Model For The Young Players

Troy Deeney, a former Premier League star, has blasted Marcus Rashford for providing a poor example for the young players at Manchester United.

The Man United striker has been “throwing his arms about like the world owes him a favor,” according to Troy.

This season, the Red Devils forward has only managed one goal in 11 Premier League games. In addition, Troy Deeney claims that Rashford is having a negative effect on players like Alejandro Garnacho in the team.

In light of Marcus Rashford’s dismal recent performance, former Watford striker Troy Deeney has criticized the Englishman for serving as a negative role model for Manchester United’s young players.

Over the past two seasons, Rashford has only scored eight goals in 44 Premier League games as the Red Devils fall into the bottom half of the standings.

With United struggling in 13th place and hoping that new manager Ruben Amorim can turn around their fortunes, the former England international has only scored once in the top flight this season.

Deeney claims that Rashford’s attitude is a greater worry than his play, and the team’s young players are taking after him.

The English winger for Manchester United has not been an exception to the team’s awful play.

With 47 goals in 165 Premier League games to his credit, Deeney stated:

‘For a little while now let’s be honest he hasn’t delivered to the standard that we know he can. When I see what happened with Garnacho at the weekend, he scores and he’s a bit sulky because a few fans have decided to get on his case or whatever”.

‘I think that stems from Marcus as well and hear me out on this when Marcus is throwing his arms about and the world owes him a favour”.

‘What if you’re a young player you’re looking up to him. Why would you not go “well I’m gonna act the same way”.’

Amorim arrived in Manchester this week to replace Erik ten Hag, giving Rashford, who has watched six United managers come and go, another opportunity to make an impression.

The Portuguese will probably bring his favorite 3-4-3 formation from Sporting Lisbon with him, and the system will call for the wider players in the front three to push out to the flanks and tuck in as no10s.

Rashford has recently been shut out of the England lineup, but with Amorim taking over, he might make a comeback.

Rashford, meanwhile, has only made one appearance for his country this year—against Brazil in March—but he is reportedly working out more one-on-one to try to be in-form.
