Ralf Rangnick urges Marcus Rashford to draw inspiration from Jadon Sancho | Marcus Rashford has scored five goals in 22 appearances and was substituted after 75 minutes against Atlético Madrid

 

Marcus Rashford has scored five goals in 22 appearances and was substituted after 75 minutes against Atlético Madrid.

Ralf Rangnick believes Marcus Rashford can draw inspiration from Jadon Sancho as the forward tries to lift himself out of a run of poor form.

Rashford started Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 first leg draw at Atlético Madrid but an anonymous display caused him to be replaced on 75 minutes by Anthony Elanga, who scored United’s equaliser. The 24-year-old has only five goals in 22 appearances but Rangnick cited Sancho, who has scored twice and made two assists in his past six games, as an example of another player who struggled previously before enjoying an upturn.
