Breaking news: ralf ragnick accuses rashford after the match has he decides his future front three after aston villa match..

 

Alan Shearer has accused Marcus 

Rashford of playing his football this

 season like it is a 'chore', with the 

forward struggling for Manchester 

United.

Rashford, 24, has endured a poor

 campaign at Old Trafford, having

 scored just three goals across all 

competitions, and also delivered a 

poor showing against Aston Villa.

Speaking at half-time during the 

FA Cup tie, BBC Sport pundit Shearer

 says he saw glimpses of improvement

 from the winger, but believes he 

is not 'enjoying' playing.

'It's a little bit better, I think, in that 

first half,' Shearer said. 'I get that 

he's had injuries, I get that he's struggling

 with a little bit of confidence, amazing

 work off the pitch.

'But certainly a lot of the times this

 season, it looks as if everything is 

a chore. It looks like hard work for 

him. He doesn't seem to be enjoying

 his football as much.

'I get that. It's a learning curve, 

you learn how to get over that.

‘There has been one or two more

 encouraging signs in that first half.

'Certainly, he posed lots of questions

 early on when he was down that left

-hand side. I said about the lack 

of width before the game.

'That hasn't been the case, he's 

done well down that side. And then 

he's switched to the right-hand side

. So, a little bit better from him tonight.'

At the weekend, Rashford was forced

 to publicly rubbish reports claiming 

he is unhappy at United, and insisted 

his loyalty must 'never be in question'.

After the limp 1-0 defeat by Wolves

, it was claimed that a host of players 

are keen to quit the club - although 

academy graduate Rashford said 

he is not one of them.

On social media, he posted: 'We've

 all been disappointed with recent 

performances and we've been as 

disappointed with the news coverage 

questioning our commitment to not 

only the manager and the coaching 

staff but the club.

'I have endless respect for both 

and I'm looking forward to bettering 

my game under the staff at Manchester

 United.'

His statement then continued defiantly

, with Rashford claiming he plans 

to do his talking on the pitch and playing

 down suggestions he is 'sulking'.

'I'm not sulking, I'm not unhappy, 

am I disappointed in some of my 

recent performances? Of course 

I am. I'm my own biggest critic,' 

he added.

'It's been a tough start but I'm 

determined to prove my worth. 

My dedication and my desire to 

be here should never be in question

. I love this club.'
