On February 28th, Beijing time, veteran Manchester United reporter Neil Custis of the British "Sun" broke the news that the relationship between Manchester United coach Ten Hag and the team's top star Rashford has fallen to freezing point. After the Rashford nightclub incident, the master and apprentice had barely spoken. There are fears within Manchester United that the two have completely broken off. Whether Rashford will become the next Sancho is also a matter of concern.
Manchester United will challenge Nottingham Forest away from home in the FA Cup 1/8 finals in the early morning of the 29th. In the Premier League last weekend, Ten Hag's team lost 1-2 at home to Fulham, ending their five-game winning streak and seven-game unbeaten streak in all competitions. Rashford started the whole game but his performance was mediocre, with only 2 shots and 1 goal but no goals. This is his 4th consecutive Premier League game without a goal. The last time a goal was scored in the league was back in the 22nd round of the Premier League on February 2, when Manchester United narrowly defeated Wolves 4-3 away from home.
It is reported that the French tycoon Paris hopes that Rashford can become the leader of the striker after Mbappe leaves the team, but the latter was attracted by the new prospects of Manchester United after Ineos Group took a stake, hoping to become part of it and get back Hot form last season. However, although the idea is good, Rashford's current state is worrying. So far this season, he has only scored 5 goals and 5 assists in 31 games, including 5 goals and 2 assists in 25 Premier League games. After completing a contract extension with Manchester United and receiving a maximum salary of 300,000 pounds, the youth academy prince seemed a little lack of motivation. His laziness on the court was very similar to his previous strike partner Martial.
Rashford sparked the wrath of coach Ten Hag last month after partying in a Belfast nightclub and missing training due to illness. Although the matter was suppressed by Manchester United's senior management, Rashford was also fined for two weeks' salary. But now, it seems that this matter has not disappeared. At least the conflict between the generals still exists, and the relationship between the two may even completely break down.
Like Sancho, Rashford and Ten Hag have a very close relationship. Last season, Ten Hacher made a little trick to make Ronaldo self-destruct and finally leave Old Trafford. Rashford became the starting center as he wished and got unlimited firing rights, and he also rewarded him with 30+ goals. Ten Hag's trust and received a big contract extension from Manchester United. However, this season, not only did Rashford fail to make further progress, but his condition declined seriously, and there was constant news off the court. There is nothing wrong with Ten Hag being angry about this.
After Ineos Group and Sir Rackliffe invested in Manchester United, they had high hopes for Rashford, a local striker. On the contrary, coach Ten Hag did not feel particularly satisfied. Therefore, Rashford does not need to worry too much that he will become the next Sancho, and will even be deprived of the right to eat at the table. However, if she and he continue to be decadent like this, no one can really save her.
