Manchester United have no reason to panic with Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford had the goal-den touch for Manchester United last season and yet the England forward has so far been unable to replicate his scintillating form this campaign.

However there is no reason for supporters to panic, especially when looking at his early statistics from last term. Rashford plundered 30 goals for United to spearhead their charge but things did not go exactly to plan for him at the same juncture 12 months ago either.

So as United head into their last game before the international break perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel for Rashford as he strives to sharpen his shooting boots? Erik ten Hag - the manager who brought him back to his best last season - certainly thinks so.

During recent press conferences, the Dutchman has regularly been pressed on his star forward. Yet if truth be told Rashford is by no means the only important player struggling for form this season and any critique must not be reserved exclusively for him. United have a duty to provide for Rashford and the Academy graduate, for his part, must do better with chances he is being afforded.

"Strikers when they don't score, they need a moment and it will come," said Ten Hag before the Brentford match. "He's so experienced. When he's doing the right things, and the team is, that momentum will come and he'll be on fire [once again]."
