Marcus Rashford recently said that he felt “more natural” when playing in a striker role, in the midst of his future at MU is uncertainty.
“For me, playing in position 9 is gradually becoming more comfortable and natural,” the 27 -year -old striker shared with the Spanish YouTube channel Xbuyer. “Small details, such as playing back on the goal, now I find it easier. When kicking in the middle, you always face the goal and always have the potential danger.”
These shares of Rashford are inherently nothing worth discussing, but the unusual point lies in the reason he spoke out because he wanted to join Barca, not to devote to MU. The British striker called the Camp Nou a dream, and is willing to sacrifice his forte to take on the No. 9 role.
Acknowledging that Rashford may have run out of love with MU, especially after conflicts with coach Ruben Amorim. However, why do not the two parties do not eliminate the problem to the club's common interests? Instead of waiting for Barca to kick the striker, Rashford can completely do it right in MU if he shows another positive attitude to Amorim.
In fact, according to Transfermarkt, Rashford has all 10 plays in the No. 9 role so far, with 8 times in the Aston Villa shirt and 2 times at MU. Notably, Rashford's achievement is very impressive with 7 goals and 2 assists, showing that he is quite suitable for this position, not just a temporary solution.
If watching MU last season, everyone realized how badly the Red Devils played, when Rasmus Hojlund was completely useless with only 10 goals in all competitions, including 4 to the Premier League. Joshua Zirkzee was even worse if he only considered the data, because he only pocketed 7 goals in all competitions.
Coach Amorim was completely helpless by the “bluntness” of the striker that in many matches, he pulled center -back Harry Maguire to play to take advantage of his ability to play and choose his sharp position. It was truly a tragedy, and MU is still hunting for a new number 9 after successfully recruiting Matheus Cuha from Wolves.
After June 30, Rashford will return to Old Trafford from Aston Villa and coach Amorim will own a player who can play well as the striker. The problem is that between the Portuguese strategist and the student Rashford, whether or not to remove the problems.
The British media recently said that Amorim wanted to liquidate Rashford this summer, and he would not fill the student's name on the list to go to America to fight to prepare for the new season. However, everything is not simple because Rashford has a very high salary, so not all clubs are capable of meeting.
If Rashford stayed, Amorim could completely give this player more opportunities to redeem, turning him into a real number of 9 as stated instead of drifting wings as usual. If doing so, MU can spend a budget to recruit a new backup striker at a moderate price. Remember, even when Bryan Mbeumo docked Old Trafford from Brentford, he was not a number 9. The forte of the 25 -year -old star was the right rock.
Obviously, if possible, MU and coach Amorim try to trust Rashford again. Who knows, the combination of the quartet Rashford, Cunha, Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes will completely eliminate the difficulties in scoring the Red Devils last season.
