In an interview with the Mirror, Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham offered insight into the prospects of Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford for the new season. In particular, he emphasized that the relationship between Rashford and legendary striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, who is United's newest addition to the coaching staff, will be a key factor in determining whether or not Rashford can regain his goal-scoring form.
Manchester United manager Jens Ten Hagar has high hopes for Rashford, hoping that he can find his old scoring sensation in the new season and become an important fire point of the team's forward line. The addition of Ruud van Nistelrooy has certainly added more possibilities for the realization of this goal. Fans are also looking forward to the fact that Rashford can learn valuable experience and skills from this predecessor to further enhance his finishing ability.
However, Sheringham has cautioned that the key to Rashford actually benefiting and finding his form is the communication and relationship between him and Fanny. He explains, "Striker players are usually sensitive and emotional, and if the coach simply criticizes or blames them, or keeps repeating things they don't like to hear, then this type of communication is likely to be counterproductive. Fanny, as a coach, needs to put aside his status as a top player and take a more calm and open minded approach to help United's players perform at their best."
At the same time, Sheringham also put forward expectations for Rashford: "As a player, Rashford needs to maintain an open-minded attitude, listen carefully and accept the advice and guidance of Fanny. Only in this way can a virtuous cycle of partnership be established between the two, thus helping Rashford to achieve a breakthrough and growth in the new season."
