After a series of wins, the magic of Manchester United was successfully detained by Crystal Palace in the Premier League continuation on Thursday morning WIB (19/1/2023). Not only that, Marcus Rashford did not score as usual.
Many netizens were furious at Rashford returning to his original settings. Throughout the match the 25-year-old player often wasted opportunities.
In fact, there were those who considered Rashford to be caught really wanting to chase records so that he would play alone throughout the match. Inevitably, many negative attentions were given by netizens around the world.
"Rashford was caught really wanting to chase his record, so he went back to his maruk factory settings. This match reminds me of how much I hate him. At least it's already in the 80s playing passing that decreases the tempo like that. Already know the enemy is holding the momentum, still passing in style😑," said the account @ratmanasetiyadi.
"Based on statistical data from SofaScore, Rashford is the second worst in this match. I agree, there are a lot of hesitations on several occasions even though there are opportunities to pass to other players," said @SU_Bekasi
"Rashford is starting to be really selfish, he's being flicked by arek iki hag," said the account @ariskyba.
"You really have to be aware of the quality of the players, Rashford is praised so he plays selfishly," said @ParburuGalot.
"Rashford was really trash today. It's been too long to hold the ball, many times," said @wildananas.
"rashford is back to being a ball fry fryer," said @fariznr7_·
"Rashford was too pushy and forced to play... Arsenal should have given a break, but it seems for the sake of this individual record," said @leter7.
