# Manchester United: Fans slate Marcus Rashford after Arsenal performance

**Some of Manchester United’s supporters have been very critical of Marcus Rashford following his performance against Arsenal on Monday.**

\[freshpress-poll id=”249736″\]

The England international is really struggling for form at the moment, and he has now managed to score just [once in his last six league appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.com/marcus-rashford/leistungsdaten/spieler/258923) – and that was a [penalty against Leicester City](https://www.premierleague.com/match/46649).

He was once again far from his best against the Gunners. Although he did manage to provide an assist, he also had three unsuccessful touches, which was more than any other United player, while also getting just one of his three shots on target and finishing the night with a poor passing accuracy rate of just 63.2% (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376022/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Manchester-United-Arsenal)).

Having also finished last season poorly, netting [once in his final 11 Premier League appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.com/marcus-rashford/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/258923/plus/0?saison=2018&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) of that campaign, some fans are beginning to become concerned about his form whilst some have lost patience with him altogether.

There are United fans who now want to see the 21-year-old dropped from the first team.

With Mason Greenwood having [scored in both of his starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mason-greenwood/leistungsdaten/spieler/532826) against Rochdale and Astana, he is a possible replacement, although Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears reluctant to start him in the Premier League, having given him just a [handful of substitute appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mason-greenwood/leistungsdaten/spieler/532826) thus far.

Here is what these Manchester United fans have had to say about Rashford’s poor recent form on Twitter, with some drawing comparisons with the club’s [former striker Danny Welbeck](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-welbeck/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/67063)…

> Absolute rubbish. He’s Welbeck in a time machine. A track star, but with a low work rate, a lower footballing iq.
