Former striker turned pundit Michael Owen has claimed that Marcus Rashford<\/a> is the \u2018weak link\u2019 of Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n After coming through the Red Devils\u2019 youth system, the 28-year-old established himself as an undisputed starter. However, since signing a big contract at Old Trafford in 2023, he has struggled to continue his momentum.<\/p>\n Having fallen out with ex-United manager Ruben Amorim, Rashford went out on loan to Aston Villa<\/a> and Barcelona<\/a>. He featured as a rotational option at Camp Nou last term; still, he showed glimpses of his qualities, making 25 goal contributions across all competitions.<\/p>\n However, Barcelona ultimately decided not to sign him permanently this summer. Still, it was thought that the forward\u2019s time at Man Utd was over, but Michael Carrick has decided to keep hold of him.<\/p>\n Amid Benjamin Sesko and Amad Diallo\u2019s injury absences, the Englishman has been featuring regularly this season but has displayed average performances, failing to make any goal contributions in six matches in all tournaments.<\/p>\n Now, after Man Utd\u2019s draw against Fulham last weekend, Owen said on Premier League<\/a> Production (via Metro<\/span><\/a>) that Rashford wasn\u2019t at his best vs Fulham and doesn\u2019t seem to be enjoying the football as his face was \u2018glum\u2019 throughout the game.<\/p>\n There seems to be the weight of the world on his shoulders, although he is living everyone\u2019s dream. As it stands, the Englishman is the \u2018weak link\u2019 of United\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n Owen said:<\/p>\n \u201cOn 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\u2019t seem to be loving his football which has been a permanent frustration with Marcus.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a bit of a demand for Benjamin Sesko to come back in and start, injury permitting of course. But if that happens, Cunha is going to go on the left and Rashford would be the weak link in that attack as things stand.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nPundit slams Rashford<\/h2>\n
