There’s brewing tension at Manchester United. According to talkSPORT journalist Alex Crook, Marcus Rashford’s return to the first team has sparked serious discontent among his teammates, and manager Michael Carrick is beginning to lose faith in the star forward.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Crook pointed out that Rashford's presence has not only disrupted the attacking balance of the Red Devils but also raised questions in the dressing room due to his hefty wage.
The expert believes Rashford's return has had a detrimental impact on other forwards, particularly Matheus Cunha, who has found his place in the starting XI taken by the Englishman.
The enormous wages of the forward are raising eyebrows among his teammates, especially regarding the contributions he’s making on the pitch.
Crook openly questioned whether Rashford is earning his keep, emphasising that the forward frequently falls short of the statistical benchmarks expected of him.
The situation is further complicated by Carrick’s apparent disappointment with the player. What was intended as a boost to the squad has, in practice, become an additional headache for the coaching staff. Amid poor results and mounting pressure from the stands, Rashford’s status as an untouchable leader is under threat, and the internal rifts within the squad could become a serious obstacle to Manchester United finding their way out of this crisis.
