Hasselbaink Critiques Rashford's Commitment to Football

Former England coach Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has criticized Marcus Rashford for what he perceives as a lack of commitment to football, suggesting that it is 'not' Rashford's main priority. Despite scoring three goals in two games leading up to a recent match, Rashford was benched during Manchester United's goalless draw against Crystal Palace, a decision attributed to rotation by manager Erik ten Hag. Hasselbaink emphasized that Rashford's body language and work rate have declined, stating he no longer shows the explosive pace and effort that characterized his best performances. He argued that for a player like Rashford, pushing through discomfort is essential to success on the field. Hasselbaink, who was part of the England coaching team this summer, noted that Rashford's dip in form contributed to his exclusion from the Euro squad. He believes that Rashford must take personal responsibility to regain his previous level of performance, highlighting that the key to improvement lies within Rashford himself.
