Know when I'm not playing my best football and when I need to improve, asserts Marcus Rashford

While he missed the first few months of the season because of a shoulder surgery, a lot was expected from Marcus Rashford from the moment he returned. However, the young forward struggled to find his footing over the course of the 2020/21 season and that combined with Manchester United’s form saw both sides struggle. In the end, while the Red Devils barely finished in sixth place, Rashford endured his worst season in front of goal in years as he scored just five times across all competitions.

"I think it's normal when we're not performing as we should perform you get criticised. It's part and parcel of the game. I've always said that I'm my own harshest critic and I know when I'm not playing my best football and I know when I need to improve. Definitely last season was a time for me to reflect on,” Rashford said, reported Sky Sports

“When you are losing games and you're not picking points, it's difficult to enjoy yourself on the pitch. Hopefully we can start the season off a lot better than that but we have to use last season as fuel to improve and to prove that we're better players than what we showed last year,” he added.
