The England international played selfishly and squandered a series of scoring opportunities in the 1-3 loss to Brighton.
Man Utd lost miserably 1-3 to Brighton when the defense made a series of mistakes.
However, Man Utd’s attack is also responsible. There, Rashford is really the problem.
In fact, Rashford received the highest score on Man Utd’s side. He is a constant threat to Brighton’s goal. However, Rashford wasted the opportunity.
The most visible situation took place at the beginning of the second half. Rashford had the ball open on the left wing after receiving a pass from Rasmus Hojlund.
However, Rashford refused to coordinate with his teammates when Hojlund was cutting inside, and behind Sergio Reguilon stepped up to support.
Instead, the English player shot with quite a bit of force but sent the ball out.
If it had been a cross, Hojlund could have scored. After this phase, Man Utd received an injury and conceded the second goal.
Rashford’s expected goals ratio is only 0.68. In other words, the value of Rashford’s finishing shots is not high. Similarly, the assist rate is at 0.03.
In addition, Rashford also plays relatively selfishly. If he continues to play like this, Hojlund will definitely be isolated in attack and goals will be difficult to come by.
Many Man Utd fans also believe that Hojlund could even turn into a second version of Wout Weghorst if he does not receive support from Rashford.
Hojlund played well in the minutes he was on the field, but sometimes appeared alone up front.
