Rashford has alot of ability and intelligence in terms of his movement is brilliant but his final ball still needs work. It's his 5th season but he' still 21 years old that makes him young with that logic a 40 year old could play his first season and that would make him more junior?He has the ability but he doesn’t have the intelligence. You can say he’s a young player but this is his fifth season. That makes him more senior. He hasn’t progressed in all that time and he still doesn’t know his best position. He thinks he should be a striker but cant prove it. He needs to realize he is not a striker and become a goal scoring wide player ala sterling, Mane etc. Sterling was terrible at missing opportunities. Still is. But he has listened to the manager and learnt his trade. He knows when and where to move and how to find space. He is an intelligent footballer. Rashford just keeps banging his head against a brick wall. Just see his free kicks. He thinks he’s Ronaldo or someone. Let it go already. You could say that Klopp and Guardiola are the reason why these players have progressed but Rashford has had top managers and coaches surely one of them should have given him the right advice. He's a top player but he is running out of time - he cant keep playing the Im a young player card forever.
He has progressed in areas such as physically and his set pieces but the one thing that is letting him down is his finishing. He showed he could finish in his first season but he has changed something or is overthinking when shooting and with more misses it affects your confidence.
If Rashford can start taking his chances you will his confidence come back. He has 4-5 years till he should be in his prime i think its extreme to say hes running out of time this is his first season as our starting ST and I know that when it clicks for him there will no nlooking back. But ya hes running out of I suppose he only has maybe another 11-12 season left him.
