Former striker Michael Owen has voiced serious concerns regarding Marcus Rashford following Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Fulham. Speaking on Premier League Productions, Owen highlighted that the forward has failed to register a goal or an assist in over 400 minutes of action this season.
Owen expressed his disappointment regarding the player's demeanor on the pitch:
On the left, Marcus Rashford has been probably the quietest of those attackers. He was quiet again today in his body language, just the glum face. He just doesn’t seem to be loving his football which has been a permanent frustration with Marcus. Michael Owen
The pundit suggested that Rashford is currently the most vulnerable player in the United attack. Owen noted that internal competition, including the potential for Benjamin Sesko to return and Matheus Cunha to shift to the wing, puts pressure on Rashford's starting spot.
Adding to his current challenges, Rashford sustained a hip injury during the second half at Craven Cottage. This will rule him out of England's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Spain, Czechia, and Croatia.
