Manchester United fans weren’t the only ones frustrated with Marcus Rashford’s performance against Crystal Palace it seems. United have endured a difficult start to the new season with three defeats from their opening six games heading into the match against Palace.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag’s side put in a promising display in the Carabao Cup earlier this week against Roy Hodgson’s side, although Palace made significant changes to their side. Rashford was left on the bench for the midweek game in order to keep him fresh for Saturday’s match with Palace.<\/p>\n
But the attacker was wasteful in front of goal with fans venting their frustration on social media. However, United supporters weren’t the only ones unimpressed with Rashford’s display.<\/p>\n
According to the Manchester Evening News, United’s staff were ‘despairing at at Rashford\u2019s use of the ball’. Ten Hag was even spotted pulling Rashford to one side before half-time to try and get the forward firing.<\/p>\n

But the pep talk failed to work as Rashford’s woes in front of goal continued. Rashford was shifted out to the right wing after Alejandro Garnacho was brought on midway through the second half with United chasing an equaliser.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag saw enough from the England international on the 76th minute though as he was brought off along with Mason Mount for Anthony Martial and Christian Eriksen. But they failed to make a difference either as United suffered another demoralising defeat.<\/p>\n

They currently sit 10th in the table but they could easily drop into the bottom half of the table when the weekend fixtures are completed.<\/p>\n United are also nine points adrift of top spot in the Premier League with the battle already on to find some form to keep up with those in the European spots. Ten Hag will be hoping his side can pick up some form in Europe this week when they take on Galatasaray.<\/p>\n United lost their opening Champions League group stage match to Bayern Munich and will need to beat Galatasaray to help their chances of progressing.<\/p>\n
