Former Manchester United striker Michael Owen fears Marcus Rashford will suffer the same fate as Paul Pogba and Angel di Maria at Old Trafford. Both players failed to live up to expectations during their time at the club while Rashford looks like a completely different player to the one who was terrorising Premier League defenders last season.<\/p>\n
In the 2022\/2023 campaign, Rashford\u00a0bagged 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 appearances for United across all competitions and was unlucky not to make the 2023 Ballon d’Or shortlist. But fast forward to the present day and it is a completely different story.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has barely gotten off the mark for Man Utd this season with two goals and an assist from his first 14 league games. During a season in which the Red Devils are facing a goal-scoring crisis, Rashford has failed to step up to the plate.<\/p>\n
And Owen fears the Englishman’s inconsistency will continue for as long as he stays at United as has been the case for many of the club’s most promising stars in recent years. Speaking to BoyleSports, he said: “Marcus [Rashford] has had a funny few years. He’s been outstanding at times, yet he’s also had quiet seasons. We thought he’d bounced back last season and got back to his best, but this season isn’t going so well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“I find it hard to pick out individuals. I know we all love doing it but look at the recent history of Manchester United. In the time since Sir Alex left, I’d struggle to name one player who has got to a certain level and improved since then.<\/p>\n
“We saw Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria arrive for huge money in the past, and we’re currently seeing similar things happen with Rashford and Mason Mount. I’m struggling to think of one player who has got better and better.<\/p>\n
