New Manchester United assistant manager Steve McClaren has been open about his feelings regarding Marcus Rashford\u2019s attitude, having questioned it earllier this year.<\/p>\n
The club is already gearing up for the start of their pre-season preparations on June 27, with players who have not been on international duty reporting back to the club\u2019s Carrington training base.<\/p>\n
The beginning of pre-season will hopefully mark the beginning of a new era at Old Trafford, as new manager Erik Ten Hag hopes to turn the club\u2019s fortunes around, alongside assistants Mitchell van der Gaag and McClaren.The players immediately involved will include Rashford, who had not been named in Gareth Southgate\u2019s latest England squad for the Three Lions\u2019 crop of four UEFA Nations League fixtures.<\/p>\n
McClaren will most likely be paying closely monitoring Rashford\u2019s body language and attitude during pre-season as the former England manager was distinctly unimpressed with the academy graduate after his performance in United\u2019s slender 1-0 win over Aston Villa in the FA Cup third-round back in January.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hate that attitude in a player,\u201d McClaren told talkSPORT, reflecting on Rashford\u2019s showing against Steven Gerrard\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
\u201cBody language is so, so important and that was the criticism of United players in the last few weeks, but Rashford has probably had this problem throughout his career in terms of questioning his attitude.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe gets deterred too easily and doesn\u2019t fight through bad moments. He doesn\u2019t stay in the game. If he\u2019s not having a good game, he\u2019s not having a good game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he\u2019s not having a good first half, he\u2019ll never have a good second half. I just look at him and think that boy needs help, off the field and through the manager.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rashford experienced a hugely disappointing 2021\/22 campaign, scoring just five goals in 32 appearances in all competitions. He looked out-of-sorts for most of it, with genuine concerns, at times, being raised about his welfare. And for McClaren, Rashford needed to accept that he had an issue with his attitude.<\/p>\n
McClaren added: \u201cThe help is there in modern football. He (Southgate) has brought in a sports psychologist. He (Rashford) has got the talent and the ability.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s that one cornerstone which we call mentality, attitude, which he hasn\u2019t grasped yet. There are certain tools with which you can come out of bad times, so you play one bad pass and don\u2019t make it two or three.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou get back to playing simple again. He\u2019s brought in a sports psychologist but a player needs to admit first that he\u2019s in the wrong, has a bad attitude and needs help.\u201d<\/p>\n
