Unfair Expectations

Rashford finds it hard to please United fans despite strong show

- 

Marcus Rashford scored his 50th Manchester United goal on Sunday afternoon, helping his team beat Norwich 3-1. As the ball hit the back of the net, following a perfect first touch and cool finish, supporters on social media were still in the midst of slating the youngster for his penalty miss moments earlier.

Rashford has been thrust into a more central role this season, following the club’s decision not to replace Romelu Lukaku in the summer, even though, as his goal and assist against Norwich showed, he performs much better when he’s allowed to play out wide and cut inside.
