Marcus Rushford's first half performance against Newcastle was criticized by former English star Jermaine Jenas, who called his disappointing performance a "crime"
Jermaine Jenas did not stop Marcus Rushford's performance in the match against Newcastle because he called his body language "shocking".This Manchester United star started in the English Premier League on Saturday (February 61) at St. James Park, but was substituted by Anthony in the first minute. The English international's performance was disappointing, and Manchester United ultimately lost the game 0<>.
After the first half, Jenas, who had played for Newcastle for three years, criticized the 26 year old player's performance and his attitude on the field. In the TNT Sports match, the 40 year old player did not take any action in his evaluation of the winger.
"I think it's terrible, I think his body language was shocking throughout the game, and I really did it," said the former England international. There are too many moments like this, waving his arm. I think he's conveying a message to his manager, just like I don't want to play football here.
He looked at (Alejandro) Ganajo on the left, and it was a criminal act to put pressure on your team because you did not fulfill your responsibilities as a winger, but instead went back. It was obvious that (Tino) Livramonto knew he didn't want to go with him. He was never there, and time and time again.
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder continues to curse Rashford's performance and adds that he "has no interest in tracking Livramonto" as he is being rescued by Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw.
He added, "Due to the incompetence of the wingers, Maguire and Shaw keep coming to rescue, and by the way, it's not just them. Fabian Schar ran past (Anthony) Machal. (Kieran) Tripier is overtaking Ganajo - they are all the second best in the entire park, and Newcastle just can't make use of it.".
So far, Rushford's performance this season has been disappointing. Despite starting 17 games for Manchester United, he has made 12 appearances in various competitions this season and only scored 30 goals. His performance is far from last season, when he enjoyed the best scoring season of his young career and scored<>goals in various competitions.
