After the match against Crystal Palace, Erik Ten Hag has spoken about the recent form of Manchester United. He believes that one player can be crucial for them. That player is none other than their own boy, Marcus Rashford.
Although United have shared points with Crystal Palace, they defeated Southampton in the previous game. The Red Devils scored three goals in that match. On top of that, Marcus Rashford scored three goals in the last two matches, which include Southampton and Barnsley. This might be the beginning of a new comeback.
We all know the qualities of Marcus Rashford. In his prime, he used to be toying with experienced defenders. Sometimes, Rashford used to score the winning goals against big teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs.
The English attacker made the left-wing position his own and continued to deliver master-class performances for United. As time progressed, his performances detoriated drastically. There are multiple reasons, which include injuries, different managers, and other things.
Can United bring back their glory?
After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, United has lost confidence in their front-line. Although they have some talented individuals like Garnacho, Zirkzee, and Hojlund, none of them are performing consistently.
On top of that, Casemiro is struggling in the middle of the pitch. Erik Ten Hag should change these things. United should look at the progression of Chelsea. A few seasons ago, both of the clubs were in the same condition, but the Blues have turned the tide. With all the criticism and ownership feud, they are still performing at the highest level.
Currently, Chelsea are sitting fifth in the Premier League table with a goal difference more than Arsenal and Aston Villa. This is surely a big achievement for them. If Manchester United can manage their team in a proper way, they might achieve something big.
For this revival, they need experienced players like Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, Luke Show, Diogo Dalot, and others. There is no doubt that this process will take a long time. So, everyone should be patient during this project. If Erik Ten Hag can bring on the ‘lockdown United’, they will wreak havoc in the Premier League.
Why does Ten Hag believe in Rashford?
Since the arrival of Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag, Rashford has started almost all the games for Manchester United. The manager believes in the English winger. Like Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford can also maintain his consistency.
Rashford was one of the brightest talents in England. He came through the ranks of the Manchester United academy. According to the Guardian, Erik Tag believes that the English winger has changed his attitude in the past few games. This new behavior is helping him in terms of goals and confidence.
The United fans are hoping to see their team win every single match. They want to spectate fluent football in the theater of dreams as well as in other stadiums. To achieve this dream, the board has to hire someone proficient who can bring in the right players to Old Trafford. Till now, the Red Devils have brought in players based on their hype. For example, there was high demand for Brazilian winger Anthony. So, they splashed €100 million on him.
The Red Devils should apply Chelsea’s strategy. This time the Blues sporting director Paul Wintansley and his group have thoroughly researched the players they are going to sign. This strategy has helped them to bring in players like Jadon Sancho, Renato Veiga, Joao Felix, and Tosin Adarabioyo. Each of them is performing extremely well for the Blues.
That is why Manchester United have appointed Dan Ashworth because he can rectify their transfer strategy and take the right decision for the club.
