Manchester United are stuck in a rut at the moment, and Marcus Rashford in particular has been criticised by fans and pundits alike over the last year. According to Jamie O’Hara, the Red Devils forward looks frustrated, disinterested, and demotivated, leaving Erik ten Hag with a decision to make when it comes to team selection.
Ten Hag’s team are now without a win in six matches, and their tally of eight points from the opening seven Premier League games is the club’s worst-ever start to a campaign — the previous worst run came last year, when the Dutchman managed just nine points in the same period. Previously a key player in the United setup, Rashford has been on a sharp decline recently, and it is becoming increasingly common that the 26-year-old cuts a forlorn figure on and off the pitch, and his form in front of goal leaves much to be desired.
So, can ten Hag actually rely on Rashford any longer? O’Hara is starting to doubt he can, and suggests something needs to change soon one way or another.

For a long time now, Rashford has been picked out for his lack of energy and enthusiasm, particularly when it comes to pressing intensity and tracking back to help his team. He may have scored four goals this season, but the United star has also been branded wasteful in front of goal.
He showed no signs of changing that perception in the recent 0-0 draw against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon, with Rashford missing a number of chances in the stalemate.
After watching the game, Sky Sports pundit Jamie O’Hara revealed his concerns over Rashford’s performances and body language of late, saying:
