In the summer of 2023, MU announced a new contract with Rashford until 2028, with a salary of 325,000 pounds/week. The goal of the Red Devils is very clear: they want Rashford to become a new legend, with the club to conquer all titles.
Even so, the person is not equal to heaven …
After the reward is a huge remuneration from MU, the expectation of placing Rashford's shoulders becomes even more terrible. Everyone is confident that the striker's explosion in 1997 with 30 goals in all competitions in the season in 2022/23 is just the beginning, because with what has performed, he is fully capable of stepping to new heights, reaching the ranks of the best players on the planet.
However, it turned out that it was the pinnacle of Rashford. Over time, the 27 -year -old striker completely lost his confidence and instincts, and then closed the 2023/24 season with only 8 goals after 43 appearances in all competitions – a number that certainly no one dared to believe if he was predicted before that season.
So did MU have been “put into” by Rashford when giving him a new contract with a desirable remuneration? It is difficult to say so, because of the fact that the numbers do not lie.
In addition to the booming season of 2022/23, Rashford shone in the 2020/21 season with 21 times to shake the opponent's net in all arenas, of which 11 to the Premier League, contributing significantly to help MU win the runner -up position only behind the Man City champion.
Previously, Rashford also scored 17 goals in the Premier League 2019/20, showing that high form was not just a temporary phenomenon. On the pitch, it was still in the pitch, Rashford was loved when launching a campaign to put pressure on the British government under Prime Minister Boris Johnson, forcing them to reverse the decision on the free meal program for poor students.
Thanks to this campaign, 1.3 million children were supported with meals in the summer of 2020. The effort for the community helped Rashford to be awarded the National British Medal (MBE) by 2021.
Everything is simply convergence in a great way. High form and beautiful image of Rashford made MU accept “break the safe” in the summer of 2023, and after all, when the clouds have not come, it is absolutely worth it.
So what makes Rashford, from a booming star, slipped in such an unbelievable way? The answer lies in the most determined, delusional and important, the attitude of Rashford.
