Former Man Utd Player Makes Harsh Comments About Playing with Two Current Players
The fact that Dane is Ten Hag’s most prolific scorer with that tally speaks volumes. United have netted just 24 times in 21 Premier League games, only more than Crystal Palace, Burnley and Sheffield United. Rashford has struggled to build on his career-best 2022/23 season, in which he scored 30 times, contributing just four goals in 24 outings. The 26-year-old has more assists (5), but Alejandro Garnacho only has two to his name. Antony hasn’t contributed a single goal or assist in 22 appearances this term.
However, ex-United defender Parker has aimed a brutal rant at Rashford and Garnacho, who appear to have formed Ten Hag’s current first-choice attack on either side of Hojlund. “No strikers want to play alongside Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho,” Parker told Danish magazine Tipsbladet.
The fact that Ten Hag’s most prolific scorer is Dane speaks volumes, especially as United have netted just 24 times in 21 Premier League games, placing them only above Crystal Palace, Burnley, and Sheffield United in terms of goal-scoring. Rashford, who had a remarkable 2022/23 season with 30 goals, has only managed to score four times in 24 outings. Although he has more assists with 5, Alejandro Garnacho has only contributed two goals, while Antony has not contributed a goal or assist in 22 appearances this season.
Parker, an ex-United defender, has directed criticism at Rashford and Garnacho, who currently appear to be Ten Hag’s first-choice attacking players alongside Hojlund. He stated, “No strikers want to play alongside Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho,” in an interview with Danish magazine Tipsbladet.
Despite his £72 million price tag, it is acknowledged that the inexperienced frontman, Hojlund, was brought in as a raw talent needing to be developed into an elite Premier League player. However, he has not received the required support from his fellow attackers and supposed competition from the striker, Anthony Martial, this season.
