Sharp Man Utd fans notice big difference in Marcus Rashford’s play and praise ‘the Ruud impact’

Football — 07/31/2024

Following a sneak peek at what they might anticipate from Marcus Rashford in the forthcoming season, Manchester United supporters have gone crazy.

Furthermore, some admirers believe that Ruud van Nistelrooy, the new assistant coach, may be the reason for his advancements.

The video of Rashford executing some deft one-touch passes and making snap decisions has United supporters buzzing with anticipation for the quickly approaching season.

The 26-year-old Rashford participated for 45 minutes in United’s 2-1 preseason friendly loss to Arsenal in Los Angeles last week.

In the game’s first video, Rashford dives deep to assist the Red Devils in putting together a deft counterattack.

The 60-cap England international retreats into his own defensive zone, providing a conduit for players to exchange rapid one-two passes.

Man Utd’s quick passing helped them get past Arsenal’s midfield and defense, but the attack was eventually unsuccessful as Amad Diallo’s shot ended up in Oleksandr Zinchenko’s path.

Even if Erik ten Hag’s team did not score, supporters are encouraged by what they are seeing, especially from Rashford.

“Rashford has often been criticized for his decision-making and for taking too many touches,” one person wrote.

“Every action here is ONE touch from him, feel like he’s benefiting from the new coaches.”

Another person said, “It seems like he’ll have a big season this time around.”

“Rashford’s going to shut everyone up this season,” remarked a third.

Another said that Van Nistelrooy, the new coach, was to blame for Rashford’s transformation, writing: “The Ruud effect kicking in.”

Rashford had a difficult season last year, scoring just seven goals in 33 Premier League games.

Additionally, he was left out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad for Euro 2024 this summer due to his decline in form.

However, it appears like he may be getting back to his best now that Van Nistelrooy, a legend of Manchester United, and Rene Hake, a former manager of the Go Ahead Eagles, have joined Carrington’s coaching team.

Before United kick off their official season on August 10 when they play Man City in the Community Shield, there’s still time for him to learn more.

The Red Devils are now on a tour throughout the United States. They will play Real Betis in San Diego next before finishing the trip with a friendly match against Liverpool in South Carolina on Saturday night.
