On Twitter, an account named @SimonUTD11 pointed out 11 mistakes made by Rashford in just 61 minutes of play. In the 3rd minute, the star did not participate in defense. Two minutes later, he also did not actively retreat after being passed by Livramento. In the 14th minute, he just walked and did not fight for the ball. After that, Rashford made a strange move and then dived.

In the 17th minute, the English striker did not participate in the defense, creating space for Livramento to attack. Four minutes later, he did not follow Livramento.

In the 23rd minute, Rashford received the ball on the wing and passed it to the Newcastle goalkeeper. In the 25th minute, he passed it to the wrong address, causing Wan-Bissaka to be pressured by the opponent. In the 26th minute, he dribbled the ball again. In the 28th minute, the striker passed the ball to the Newcastle player's feet. In the 42nd minute, Rashford forgot about defense again and let Livramento run freely.

In the second half, Rashford was substituted after Newcastle opened the scoring, giving way to Antony. Commenting on Rashford's performance, the account @ bethTmufc said "it was a shameful act". Many fans thought the English striker lacked effort in the game.

Coach Tim Sherwood believes that Rashford should not play for England at Euro 2024. Not only did he play poorly, the striker also left a bad image when he got angry with coach Ten Hag after being substituted.

Expert Jermaine Jenas believes that Rashford's lack of enthusiasm is because he wants to "disobey" coach Ten Hag because he is playing against his strengths. The striker born in 1997 was assigned to play on the right wing, instead of the left wing. "Maybe he wants to send a message to coach Ten Hag that he does not want to play in this position," Jermaine Jenas shared.

Speaking after the match, coach Ten Hag was not satisfied with Rashford. He emphasized: "I will talk to him privately, not in the media. There is a lot of talk about Rashford's form. We will try to help him regain his form."

After losing to Newcastle, Man Utd fell to 7th place on the rankings with 24 points. Meanwhile, Newcastle rose to 5th place with 26 points.
