Ten Hag 'worried' by fan reaction when asked to place Rashford over three Man Utd strikers
Erik ten Hag is 'worried' about leaving Marcus Rashford on the bench in the event of a backlash from Man Utd fans, according to former defender Paul Parker.
The Red Devils have been in poor form at the wrong time, with rivals Liverpool putting pressure on them in the race for a top-four finish.
Man Utd have lost their last two Premier League games to West Ham and Brighton without scoring, while Liverpool have won six to close the gap on fourth place Reds to just one point.
Rashford has scored 29 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season, but with only one goal in his last nine, Parker feels his Man Utd teammates must wonder why the England international do not sit on the bench.
Former Man Utd defender Parker told BonusCodeBets:
“It is time to consider whether Marcus Rashford deserves to be in the starting XI. We can no longer avoid this conversation. His aim is exhausted and scoring is his greatest strength.
“Does he really look like a player who is going to score? I think we have to say no. Does it produce anything? ARE NOT. Does it really affect other teams? I think the answer is not entirely honest. He wasn't there against Brighton or West Ham.
“He has assets but he doesn't want to use them. His strong point is running behind and close to the opponent, defeating the opponent but he is not. He can't play in the middle and the manager knows it.
“He needs to interact more with his teammates. He doesn't make them better and all the other players like Antony, Sancho and Weghorst have to think for themselves:
Why did Rashford stay when he should have been the substitute?
Parker added:
“Erik ten Hag is not qualified to replace him. Especially not if Man United are trying to score. He's worried that he'll get a frantic reaction from fans if he takes it off. That's why he might as well think he has to use him in the starting lineup.
"But I think every fan is going to look at it right now and think:
Does he look like he wants to score? ARE NOT. Everything that happens to him is random and instinctive. He doesn't interact or integrate with the team at all.
Parker continued:
“He loses the ball cheaply and then he comes back. He doesn't give enough for the team. But he is a great player because of the goals he has scored and Man United need their great players to show off.
“The problem is that they can't continue to rely on a player who isn't performing well or making his teammates look better.
"He's part of the top three that have brought the club down and is a far cry from what a top three should be at Man United at the level the fans are used to."
