· Diallo scored in United's clash with Braido and Rashford's position up front was already shaky. Garnacho opened the scoring in the Community Shield against Manchester City and Zilkze scored against Fulham to leave the 26-year-old scoreless.
Marcus Rashford had a goal ruled offside, but rival Garnacho also had one, and the 19-year-old Argentina winger himself was not offside at all, only sliding to Zirkze in front of goal to avoid the offside position and touch the ball, which led to the goal being disallowed.
Marcus Rashford also scored just one penalty in pre-season, and Ten Hag started the season by boasting that a new tactical system would allow the United star to score another 30 goals, but there seems to be no such trend. The last time Marcus Rashford scored in a competitive game was in the FA Cup in March.
Coincidentally, the opponent in that game was Liverpool, and Manchester United will also be at home to new manager Slow Slow's arch-rival in the next game. The Reds may be Rashford's last chance, and if he is unable to prove himself, the loss of his place in the main force is a matter of hope.
In the crucial FA Cup game against Liverpool, Diallo also scored, and it was the killer goal, and it was Garnacho who assisted him. Fans have reason to believe that Diallo, Zilkze and Garnacho should form the front trident, with Marcus Rashford on the bench.
Dropping Rashford will be a difficult decision given his status at the club and being one of the highest-paid players in the squad. His past performances against Liverpool could give him another chance to start, but if his form doesn't improve, Ten Hag may have to make that decision.
Celebrity Chris · Sutton also believes Rashford's starting place at United could be in jeopardy. 'We saw that Marcus Rashford seemed to feel a little bit sorry for himself last season and he will need to work hard to stay in the starting line-up. "When he's motivated and clear-headed, he can be a devastating player, as good as any of the best attacking players in the world, but it really depends on which version he comes out in this season," he said.
Sutton added: 'If Marcus Rashford comes back with a good mindset and a clear head, Manchester United will be better this season than last year. United did have problems scoring goals last season and his poor form was a big factor in that. It looks like Ten Hag will have more players to choose from on the wings and up front, which is a headache for him, and Rashford at his peak is still a huge asset for the club, the question is his form.
Barcelona have recently been rumored to be interested in Marcus Rashford, but with his transfer fee and wages, his departure this summer is almost entirely impossible. Sir Jim · Ratcliffe and the club's hierarchy believe Rashford is United's last chance this season. They haven't been actively seeking to sell him this summer, but if another season of poor performance is a sure sure thing to be purged at the end of the season, even if a price cut is required. Rashford turned 27 at the end of this year and, as Alan · Shearer said, he is no longer a young man and there is no reason to demand tolerance.
United Kingdom Sky Sports reported that McLaren, who left the club for Jamaica this summer, actually caused Rashford to resent. McClaren encouraged Master Ra during a five-a-side training match, saying he could decide the outcome of the match. Rashford reacted negatively, asking not to put pressure on himself and shut down the talk. It is said that this came as a surprise to McLaren, who wanted to motivate Rashford.
