Chris Sutton believes Marcus Rashford faces a fight to retain his regular starting status as Amad and Alejandro Garnacho battle for places.
Erik ten Hag‘s attacking options have improved this season, and there is a belief that Rashford can’t afford a repeat of last term’s struggles.
“It depends on Marcus Rashford,” Sutton told Express Sport on behalf of Instant Withdrawal Casino.
“If it’s the Marcus Rashford of last season, who seemed a bit down, seemed to feel a bit sorry for himself, then he’s going to have a fight on. But what do we know about Marcus Rashford? We know a motivated Marcus Rashford, who has a clear mind, is a devastating football player.
“And you can compare Marcus Rashford to any other top players on his day; he’s up there and as good as anyone, really. It just depends which Marcus Rashford is going to turn up, and that will be the frustration for Erik ten Hag last season.
“It’s the same this season, that if he’s really motivated, Marcus Rashford, then Manchester United will have a good or better season in terms of goal numbers. I think last season, there were issues in the goalscoring and creativity department. A large part of that was because he didn’t turn up, but if he does turn up this season…
“There do seem to be a few more options for Erik ten Hag in wide areas, he does have a selection headache, and Rashford can still be a massive asset for Manchester United.”
