Glenn Murray gives his verdict on Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford

Well, Glenn Murray has been speaking about Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

The former Brighton and Hove Albion striker does not think that the £300,000-a-week () star is happy at the moment.

The BBC Sport pundit has noted that Rashford was brilliant last season and scored important goals for Erik ten Hag’s side.

Rashford scored 17 goals and gave five assists in 32 Premier League starts last season.

The 26-year-old England international forward has scored three goals and provided two assists in 15 starts and four substitute appearances in the Premier League for United this season.

Murray said about Rashford on : “I find this one hard to comment on because you just never know what’s going on in the lads’ personal lives.

“To me, he looks unhappy. Last year, we saw him, and for me, he carried Manchester United.

“He papered over a lot of cracks that I think were already there last season, scoring important goals at important times, and you can link it to him signing a new contract at the time. I don’t think that is the case.

“He is in a bad group. I don’t think they have got a real system or at least a system that necessarily suits him. He just looks unhappy, unconfident, but so does everyone else around him.”

My View: Marcus Rashford had to step up his game

In my opinion, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has to step up his game.

The forward is a very talented player and is 26 now. These should be the best years of his age when he should emerge as a leader.

Rashford needs to add more facets to his game. He has become quite predictable cutting in from out wide.

Rashford has made 258 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The United forward has scored 79 goals and given 39 assists in those games.
