Huddersfield Town 1-1 Manchester United: 5 men who cost United the game

#1 Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Huddersfield - Premier League

This United team has lost all of their confidence in recent games. They have looked lost and uninspired on the field and have failed to carry out the basics of football. There have been unforced errors, bad touches, miss passes and diabolical finishing. And in many ways, Marcus Rashford has been the face of United's disappointing change in fortune.

The English striker started life under Solskjaer very well, but has seen a stark change in form in recent times. He has been provided a lot of chances by Solskjaer, a lot more than the youngster has warranted previously.

Rashford as the central striker has been extremely poor and his selection over Lukaku has been surprising at times. However, Solskjaer did not have an option against Huddersfield as Lukaku was injured, and on the pitch, Rashford was as poor as usual.

The United player failed to put the Huddersfield defence under pressure and could not work out any chances at goal. He failed to have much impact in the box and under-performed once again for United. With the lack of a goalscoring threat to spearhead their attack, United failed to get a victory they needed to secure a top four finish in Premier League and Champions League football.
