Newcastle United 1-0 Manchester United: 5 Hits and flops | Premier League 2019/20

#2 Flop: Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford is feeling the pressure of being Manchester United's main forward.

Marcus Rashford has been under immense scrutiny in recent weeks and his performance against Newcastle United is not going to help his cause. The England international managed just one touch in the opposition box in the 90 minutes he was on the pitch.

In the first half, the young forward managed just seven touches of the ball, fewer than goalkeeper David de Gea. Moreover, his movement in the box was shocking and it looked as if he was scared of the ball, hiding behind the opposition defenders as soon as crossed were lofted into the box. The 21-year-old is low on confidence and it showed in the against the Magpies.
