The situation took place in the 58th minute, Rashford kicked out even though there was a huge space in the penalty area. The Man Utd striker decided to shoot right after the ball bounced off the West Ham defender.
Rashford’s miss is difficult to accept. He just needs to kick the ball in the middle of the goal to help the home team decide the match early. Rashford himself also seemed angry with himself for missing such a delicious opportunity.
In this match, the duo of Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho replaced Rashford to shine. They competed to score goals to bring home a 3-0 victory. Rashford is a senior but only had 2 shots that did not hit the target.
The striker born in 1997 is going through a difficult time as his performance declines. This player is also constantly entangled in scandals in his personal life. Previously, Rashford was removed from the FA Cup match against Newport County by coach Erik ten Hag for internal disciplinary reasons and fined Rashford two weeks’ salary.
However, the star wearing the number 10 shirt still managed to leave his mark with the goal that opened the victory for Man United in the match against Wolves in the previous round.
Rashford’s performance this season is very different from last season, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League, along with 5 assists.
Luckily for Ten Hag, Man United’s attack has been showing progress recently as Hojlund and Garnacho continue to shine.
Currently, Scott McTominay is the best scorer for the Red Devils with 6 goals, followed by Rashford, Garnacho (with 5 goals), and Hojlund (4 goals).
