Southampton 1-1 Manchester United: 3 men who were poor for the Red Devils

#1 Marcus Rashford

Rashford provided very little in attack

With Anthony Martial out injured, Solskjaer played Marcus Rashford in the No. 9 role against the Saints. The Norwegian had trusted the Englishman for the role ahead of Lukaku last season, and had big plans for him this term as well. However, his performance against Southampton will have Solskjaer scratching his head.

Rashford was busy as usual in the final third, closing down the opposition and implementing Solskjaer’s high pressing tactics very well. However, he was disappointing with the ball at his feet, and was guilty of giving the ball away too many times. He failed to provide the spark that was required in the box and his decision making was also poor. There were many times when Daniel James was clear on goal, but the Englishman decided to shoot instead.

Rashford’s finishing was below par against the Saints. He had atleast 3 proper chances to score, but didn't look sharp enough. With Daniel James looking impeccable on the left forward role, Rashford’s place in this team could come under scrutiny, especially after his lacklustre display on Saturday.
