Alan Shearer believes Manchester United star Marcus Rashford is \u2018unhappy\u2019 and looks a far better player when he\u2019s wearing an England shirt. Rashford has been unable to continue his incredible form from last season amid the Red Devils\u2019 woes under Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n

Rashford has scored just one goal this term and a dismal campaign was compounded when he was sent off in the Champions League defeat by Copenhagen last week. The 26-year-old struck 30 goals last season in his best personal campaign to date.<\/p>\n

It has not quite happened for Rashford this season, though. One of his best games came in England\u2019s Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy, in which he scored a thumping second-half strike in a 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n

Former Newcastle striker Shearer believes Rashford looks a much better player when he\u2019s featuring for England and seems \u2018unhappy\u2019 at Old Trafford. The Match of the Day pundit speculated that the forward has grown frustrated over the club\u2019s poor recruitment.<\/p>\n

“What we\u2019re looking at is someone who clearly looks very unhappy. He looks moody and when that\u2019s the case you\u2019re never going to perform at your best,” Shearer told Optus Sport.<\/p>\n

“Whether he feels he\u2019s better than what\u2019s at Old Trafford at this moment of time, I don\u2019t know. Whether he feels let down by recruitment because he went to another level in terms of his goals last year, the club haven\u2019t gone to it this season which maybe he wanted or expected it to.<\/p>\n

“But you\u2019re not seeing a happy footballer. You\u2019re not seeing a happy person at this moment of time in Marcus Rashford. He looks a different player for England than he does for Manchester United.”<\/p>\n

Under-pressure United boss Ten Hag admitted last week that he is \u2018not happy\u2019 with Rashford\u2019s form. It comes with the Red Devils relying on Rashford to improve in a bid to salvage their campaign, having already lost nine times this season.<\/p>\n
