WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

Rashford, once hailed as one of United's brightest stars, has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/marcus-rashford-sad-gary-neville-moment-liverpool-man-utd-fans/blt16b06b0b37633d7c#csbd446c59ad61d4d0" target="_blank">come under fire</a> for what many perceive as a lack of effort on the pitch. The 26-year-old forward, who was instrumental during the 2022-23 campaign with an impressive 30 goals in 56 appearances across all competitions, has experienced a dramatic dip in form since then.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Ten Hag's men, who have suffered two defeats out of their first three league games, will be back in action next weekend as they take on Southampton on September 14.
