Marcus Rashford is in the form of his life. He's been described as 'the best player in the world.' But is that British over-exuberance?
Rashford has been in great form since before Christmas, perhaps his best run ever. He benefits from Ten Hag’s more structured playing style and also from the fact that his new manager’s approach has become more conservative after the start of the season.
Ten Hag realised early on after his arrival from Dutch giants Ajax in the summer that he needed to modify his setup and tone down the high press. United have been playing closer to their own goal, which has given Rashford more space to use his greatest asset: pace.Last season, he almost had a negative influence on the team. He looked very low on confidence and like someone who needed a change of scenery. United and England wanted him to be their hero — maybe that was all a bit too much for him.
. I don’t know if Ten Hag played a clever hand or simply got lucky that Ronaldo forced his exit mid-season but it undoubtedly helped him get a grip on the dressing room and put his ideas into practice., still the man that makes a lot of stuff happen in attack for United, also trusts Rashford more than he did Ronaldo at the end.First of all, it’s remarkable that a 25-year-old has scored 118 goals in 342 competitive games for a club of Manchester United’s size.
Rashford needed one season to get to grips with all of that, time for himself to reflect and recharge. Once he was able to sort all of that out in his head, his feet could do their job again.
