BREAKING NEWS: “I cautioned Erik ten Hag about that player; he chose not to bench him, and he was dismissed… Now, Ruud van Nistelrooy is making the same mistake, and I’m warning him too,” says Pep Guardiola, naming ONE player who shouldn’t start for Man United and advising Van Nistelrooy about this costly error. TRUTHFULLY, THAT PLAYER SHOULDN’T BE IN THE STARTING LINEUP.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is fully committed to revitalizing the team, with a clear emphasis on enhancing the performance of the attacking players. In his first game as manager, United showcased offensive strength by scoring five goals against Leicester, but when they faced Chelsea, scoring opportunities and goals were harder to come by.

During the first half of the Chelsea game, the best chance fell to Marcus Rashford, the player United would ideally rely on in such moments. However, Rashford missed the opportunity, striking the ball onto the crossbar instead of capitalizing on the open space he had.

Former United star Paul Scholes was quick to comment on Rashford’s miss, implying that the forward may have been attempting to make the goal more dramatic than necessary.

Speaking on Premier League Productions, Scholes criticized Rashford’s approach, arguing that it was a straightforward opportunity. “I expect him to do better,” Scholes said, suggesting Rashford attempted to elevate the shot by aiming high when a simple side-foot volley would have sufficed. Scholes added that all Rashford needed to do was keep the shot low, indicating that this approach would have likely secured the goal.

Now, with new manager Ruben Amorim, Rashford has another chance to prove himself and regain his form. A change in management often brings a fresh start, and Rashford will be looking to make the most of this opportunity.

Many are hopeful that Amorim’s influence can help Rashford find his scoring stride again, as United has a potential top striker in him if he can regain confidence and consistency.

Nevertheless, as Scholes pointed out, Rashford should be converting these kinds of chances with ease. Top strikers know how to score under pressure, keeping their shots simple and effective in critical moments.

Rashford, to meet this level, needs to return to a straightforward approach and capitalize on such scoring opportunities if he and United hope to contend at the highest level.
