Marcus Rashford’s performance against Crystal Palace has infuriated many other than just Manchester United supporters. With three losses in their first six games of the new season entering their meeting against Palace, United has had a challenging start to the campaign.

Although Palace made big lineup changes, Erik ten Hag’s team gave Roy Hodgson’s team a good fight in the Carabao Cup earlier this week. To keep Rashford fresh for the game against Palace on Saturday, he was benched for the midweek contest.

But the attacker was wasteful in front of goal with fans venting their frustration on social media. However, United supporters weren’t the only ones unimpressed with Rashford’s display.

According to the Manchester Evening News, United’s staff were ‘despairing at at Rashford’s use of the ball’. Ten Hag was even spotted pulling Rashford to one side before half-time to try and get the forward firing.

But the pep talk failed to work as Rashford’s woes in front of goal continued. Rashford was shifted out to the right wing after Alejandro Garnacho was brought on midway through the second half with United chasing an equaliser.

The England international was replaced by Anthony Martial and Christian Eriksen after Mason Mount and Ten Hag were substituted in the 76th minute. However, they had little impact as United lost yet another disheartening game.
