We all know he’s got talent in abundance and we want to see him smiling again.” He was on fire’… Man Utd legend says Man Utd star left him blown away with training performances.
Manchester United has been seeking improvements among their top stars, particularly Marcus Rashford. Rashford began to meet these expectations with his best pre-season performance in the 3-2 win over Real Betis. He played for more than an hour before leaving the field due to a late tackle but was seen looking sprightly after the game. Getting Rashford back to his best form is a priority for Erik ten Hag, and scoring goals, even from penalties, can boost his confidence.
Marcus Rashford’s Return to Form
Rashford has faced criticism in past seasons for his body language, often appearing to lack confidence or determination. United expert Andy Mitten mentioned earlier this week that he has heard positive things about Rashford this pre-season, something he hasn’t heard since 2022. MUTV pundit Danny Webber provided a first-hand account of Rashford’s impressive form during a training session on the USA tour.
Webber shared, “He was on fire yesterday. Watching his finishing, we commented on how well he hits the ball—effortlessly, with little backlift. His one-on-one situations were impressive, beating opponents with ease. This comes from mentality, from wanting to succeed, and from being prepared to make mistakes, which ultimately leads to success. He just needs to carry that into the games. We all know he has immense talent, and we want to see him smiling again.”
Praise from Teammates
Harry Amass, a 17-year-old who played alongside Rashford against Real Betis, described him as ‘unbelievable’ in a post-game interview. Amass, aiming to deputize for Luke Shaw this season amid uncertainties surrounding Tyrell Malacia, relished the opportunity to play with Rashford. However, with Rashford potentially being rested as a precaution against Liverpool, Amass might link up with a different player on the left side.
