Marcus Rashford handed FIFA 22 upgrade despite poor Man United form

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has received a surprising upgrade in the latest FIFA 22 squad update, despite his poor form in recent weeks.

Having started FIFA 22 rated 85 out of 99 overall, Rashford 's underwhelming season has seen the Englishman downgraded three times so far in FIFA 22, currently rated 82 overall. The forward hasn't scored for United since January and has only managed four goals in the Premier League this season.

Since Ralf Rangnick took over as manager, Anthony Elanga has seemingly been a first-choice over Rashford, with the Swedish winger having started more league games than Rashford in that time. In spite of this, EA Sports have opted to reward the forward with a handful of upgrades to his in-game stats on FIFA 22, with a couple of other United players also seeing changes to their stats in the latest update.
