Rashford, Antony, Bruno and all the players must find Rasmus Højlund in the game. But look at Manchester United's game today, Rashford wants to score goals, Bruno Fernandes too and that has really made this team seem to be playing for itself without thinking about the team's benefits. This is just what I noticed, but there are a lot of issues for Ten Hag to resolve that his team is currently experiencing.
What you notice in Manchester United's playing pattern is not much different from what other observers notice, even Man United fans also notice this situation in their favorite team.
Rashford and Bruno have similar characters in the team.
A number of other central midfielders owned by Erik ten Hag also have the same style of play. I think the turning point that Ten Hag has to work on is managing or balancing all of that, not bringing in other players.
In my opinion, if you have to force yourself to buy another player, don't buy a player with the same playing style as the one you already have.
I believe that the goalscoring determination of Rashford and Fernandes could be impacting Hojlund. I think if you have been watching Rashford play this season, you’d understand how terrible he’s been. Every time Rashford is playing, it takes individual brilliance from a teammate for the team not end up with a loss. When he goes with the ball forward and another teammate is in a better scoring position, he refuses to pass the ball, especially to Hojlund and this way loosing scoring opportunities.
One of Manchester United's problems is that the team around Hojlund has proven to be so disjointed. Particularly in attack, Manchester United have fires springing up all over the place.
So I understand why Fans have been bashing Rashford this season. He’s not the player he was last season. I don’t know what Ten Hag needs to address to make this team fire again.
