In the eyes of Garth Crooks, a former Manchester United player, Marcus Rashford could reach the pinnacle of his career if he emulates the hunger and dedication shown by team captain Bruno Fernandes.
Rashford’s current season has been challenging, with doubts emerging over his position in the team managed by Erik ten Hag.
The 26-year-old forward has scored eight goals and provided five assists in 39 appearances for the Red Devils across various competitions.
Comparatively, his performance this season falls short of his exceptional display in the previous season, where he netted 30 goals and provided 10 assists in 56 matches under Ten Hag’s leadership.
Despite this, Crooks remains steadfast in his belief in Rashford’s immense talent, suggesting that he has the potential to become a standout player globally by following Fernandes’ admirable example.
Crooks expressed his opinion to BBC Sport, stating, “Marcus Rashford would be the best player in the world if he had Bruno Fernandes’ drive and commitment to the game.”
