Carragher: “Rashford reminds me of Martial and that’s the worst thing you can say about him”

Last season, Marcus Rashford impressed with his touch in the opposition net (30 goals in 56 appearances in all competitions), which led Manchester United management to keep him at Old Trafford and sign him a new contract until 2028 at €350,000 per week to sign merits.

But at some point the collapse came: The English international striker only scored two goals in 13 games in the Premier League, one of which was a penalty at Goodison Park against Everton, and was completely disappointing with his performance last Saturday at home against Newcastle , where his team was discouraging, losing 0-1.

There was a fire on social media from Red Devils friends who spoke of a player who had no appetite and no nerve throughout the game, with Jamie Carragher taking the baton, who was not only unsparing in his criticism of Rashford , but also managed to equalize.

“His performance was unacceptable for several reasons. This boy hadn’t played in the Champions League during the week, but for Rashford, as well as for me and Gerrard at Liverpool, the responsibility is on him to come in and play well to hold on.” and his team-mates, even if it is Team not doing well.

When I see Rashford he reminds me of Martial and that’s the worst thing you can say about him. Foreign players come and they don’t care. “Rashford looks like Martial now.” emphasized the veteran Liverpool defender and current commentator, adding meaningfully:

“In the Manchester City game against Tottenham there was one player who didn’t stop running, Sean. When we talk about great players in the Premier League, we mean those who not only score goals but also run and take part in the game.”

Sean was a leader, what you ask of Rashford is to lead.
