Ten hag isn’t doing a good job with him, I would have done better,We want to see more from him’ – Man Utd legend Wayne Rooney sends advice to struggling Marcus Rashford as he points out key flaw Wayne Rooney might want to take ten hag’s place

In a strategic shift orchestrated by Erik ten Hag, Marcus Rashford was positioned as the leading striker in lieu of Rasmus Hojlund, who was sidelined due to injury.

Nevertheless, Rashford’s performance fell below expectations, grappling to make an impact against a resolute Forest defense, ultimately failing to penetrate and adding to a series of goalless outings.

Only a late header from Casemiro spared Rashford from further scrutiny after what was perceived as a lackluster showing.

Rooney, speaking with the BBC, stressed the necessity for Rashford to demonstrate more ruthlessness and composure in front of the net.

Underlining the significance of confidence, Rooney proposed that Rashford simplify his approach to rediscover his scoring prowess.

While acknowledging Rashford’s subdued demeanor and body language, Rooney called upon senior players to instill inspiration and drive in Rashford to elevate his performance.

Before the game, Rooney had publicly voiced concerns about Rashford’s work ethic, urging him to exert more energy to showcase his abilities.

Despite acknowledging Rashford’s considerable potential, Rooney underscored the importance of grit and commitment, highlighting the necessity for Rashford to concentrate on refining his skills and bolstering the team’s success through unwavering determination.
