As Manchester United faces turbulent times under manager Ruben Amorim, one of the most contentious issues revolves around the continued exclusion of Marcus Rashford from the squad.
However, given the lackluster performances of strikers Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund, it’s becoming clear that Rashford may deserve another chance in the starting lineup.
United managed to scrape a 1-0 win over Fulham, thanks to a late deflected goal by Lisandro Martinez.
Despite the victory, the performance up front was concerning.
Both Zirkzee and Hojlund failed to make any significant impact, with neither player registering a shot on goal, and just one touch in the penalty area between them.
Zirkzee only managed eight touches in his 32 minutes on the pitch, while neither forward created any chances for their teammates.
The current situation at United is unsustainable, with both Hojlund and Zirkzee struggling to meet the expectations of a club of United’s stature.
While Rashford has been far from his best recently, he has proven to be a clinical finisher in the past, and United may need to reconsider their reliance on these underperforming forwards.
The prospect of Rashford’s departure without a capable replacement could spell disaster for Manchester United.
