Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney provides advice to Marcus Rashford during his challenging times, pinpointing a critical vulnerability.

In a tactical adjustment orchestrated by Erik ten Hag, Marcus Rashford was positioned upfront in the absence of Rasmus Hojlund, who was sidelined due to injury.

However, Rashford failed to meet expectations and struggled to make an impact against Forest’s resolute defense, resulting in another disappointing performance without finding the net.

Only a late header from Casemiro spared Rashford from facing further criticism after what was perceived as a lackluster display.

Speaking to the BBC, Wayne Rooney stressed the importance of Rashford demonstrating more ruthlessness and patience in front of goal.

Rooney emphasized the significance of confidence and suggested that Rashford simplify his approach to regain his scoring touch.

While acknowledging Rashford’s reserved demeanor and body language, Rooney called for senior players to inspire and motivate Rashford to perform at his best.

Before the match, Rooney had publicly criticized Rashford’s work ethic, urging him to exert more effort to showcase his abilities.

Despite recognizing Rashford’s immense potential, Rooney underscored the importance of hard work and dedication, urging Rashford to concentrate on enhancing his game and contributing consistently to the team’s success.
