Another of the worst performing big-name players on match-day one of the UEFA Champions League was Marcus Rashford. The youngster was handed a rare starting role by Jose Mourinho during Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Swiss side, Young Boys.

However, Rashford failed to take his chances and ended up losing possession too easily, exhibiting indecisiveness on the ball, and putting up a disappointing performance overall. The England international enjoyed good fortunes while on international duty with the Three Lions, scoring twice, a different player turned up against Young Boys on Wednesday.

Mourinho has often spoken highly of the attacker, but with such performances, the Portuguese will have no choice than to keep him on the bench. Rashford had the chance to stake a claim for a starting spot in Man United’s next game, but instead, dished out a flop performance.
