'Ten Hag may have to drop him'
- Published
ESPN senior football writer Mark Ogden feels Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag may soon need to "drop" Marcus Rashford.
Following a difficult win for the Red Devils at Sheffield United, Odgen believes Rashford is presenting a problem for Erik ten Hag.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast, Ogden said: "There’s something not right about Rashford. He had a great burst after the World Cup last season and scored in every game for 12, 13 games.
"But he plays in patches where he doesn’t contribute. It's an issue that Erik ten Hag has to address. Great Manchester United sides would never pass the ball sideways, they would always go for the attacking pass to put teams under pressure.
"Players should have confidence, players should have drive, you don’t see any drive in United right now. Rashford should be carrying this team to victories and he's not.
"Ten Hag may have to drop him. But the situation is he hasn't got the people in the squad capable of coming in for Rashford. Jadon Sancho looks like he’ll never play again, Hojlund is playing well through the middle, but beyond that what've you got?"
