Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made Marcus Rashford the poster-boy of the new-look Manchester United side. Despite being short in the attacking department after selling Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez in the summer, the Norwegian refused to get reinforcements as he deemed the 21-year-old good enough to lead the line for Manchester United this season.

However, witnessing Rashford's recent performances, it looks like Solskjaer might have made a huge mistake.

The England international has been poor in recent games and hasn't scored from open play since opening day of the Premier League.

The 21-year-old striker was poor once again and looked out of sorts against West Ham United. His movement was terrible and he failed to find spaces between the two centre-halves. His lack of composure in the first half resulted in him squandering a very good chance, wherein he raced into the box from the left, but couldn't get a shot away quickly enough and eventually let Declan Rice take the ball away from his feet. Had he scored that goal, the outcome of the game could have been much different.
