Great Responsibilities of Marcus Rashford at Manchester United

DBasia.news –  Marcus Rashford could have assumed too much responsibility due to his difficulties playing at Manchester United to date.

Marcus Rashford is a Manchester United academy graduate. He began regularly entering the first team since January 2016. Graphically, the English national team player was seen increasing.

Gradually, Marcus Rashford continued to get more and more portions of playing. Moreover, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over the team.

In this season, the burden placed on the shoulders of the player is getting bigger. He is the main hero of Manchester United in breaking into the opponent’s goal. Hopes are mounting because Manchester United have lost Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez.

The big question is, is Rashford strong enough to carry the burden? Moreover, at this time Manchester United lost a figure that could be used as an image of themselves.

The role was given to Paul Pogba. Just like Rashford, the player of the French national team had also received football education at the Man United academy.

Unfortunately, so far, Pogba has still failed. The player is busy dismissing the tilted issue addressed to him. In fact, in the transfer market last summer, Pogba had given the code if he wants to leave from Old Trafford.

As a clear benchmark, let’s use performance on the ground to assess Rashford. Since Solskjaer led Man United in mid-December 2018, Rashford has only scored nine goals.

The standard number of goals is exposed to negative sentiment when aligned with the number of opportunities that Rashford created. The striker created 82 chances on target. 

When compared with other Premier League players, only Mohamed Salah has more opportunities on target than Rashford. The difference, the Liverpool mainstay scored 15 goals.

Furthermore, of the 20 golden opportunities obtained by Rashford, only six ended up being scored. The comparison presents a conversion of 30 percent. That number is back far enough adrift of other Premier League attackers such as Mohamed Salah (50 percent) and Jamie Vardy (54.17 percent).

One of the indications that Marcus Rashford could not yet be a pedestal by Manchester United occurred when the player failed to score from the spot against Crystal Palace. In fact, before Rashford successfully carried out this task when met Chelsea. 

Indeed, every penalty executor has a chance of failure. However, for an attacker who is charged high hopes, the incident should be minimized. Moreover, the Red Devils must lose 1-2 at the end of the match.

Now, Marcus Rashford needs to prove that Manchester United is not wrong to give him great responsibility. If not, the Red Devils are wrong to impose great responsibility on the player.
