Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford had a dismal showing against West Ham and representatives D N May Sports Management have spoken out on his return to full fitness.<\/p>\n
Rashford\u2019s back injury aggravated earlier this year could have been career threatening, the United \u00a0star\u2019s representatives have claimed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Red Devils forward had been on the sidelines in mid-January and only returned to action before the end of the season due to the coronavisrus lockdown.<\/p>\n
The extension to the 2019\/20 campaign was a blessing in disguise as it provided Rashford sufficient time to recover and convalesce further to rebuild his fitness.<\/p>\n
Rashford\u2019s decent form has been holding out pretty well in the league since the restart,\u00a0having featured nobly in all eight of United\u2019s games post-lockdown, scoring three times and registering three assists during that spell.<\/p>\n
His only noticeable dip in form was in the past two games against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final and West Ham in the Premier League, where he appeared to have struggled a bit.<\/p>\n
He was also off his game in both the defeat at Wembley and the 1-1 draw last night at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
United legend Patrice Evra was working as a pundit for the West Ham match on Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
At full time, Evra said: \u201cPeople are commenting a lot on Paul Pogba, using a lot of harsh words. I didn\u2019t see any harsh words on Marcus Rashford, because Rashford had a poor game today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rashford’s representatives D N May Sports Management have not been impressed with the criticism that has come the No.10\u2019s way.<\/p>\n
It appears the 22-year-old may still not be fully match fit as the representatives on Thursday posted on Twitter: “Lots said about the fitness of Marcus yesterday.<\/p>\n
“What’s incredible is that I am sure the boy is building himself back up to fitness from a potentially career-ending injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnited is a team that win together and lose together.”<\/p>\n
Rashford is still likely to be picked by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for Sunday\u2019s crunch Premier League finale at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n
United must avoid defeat against top-four rivals Leicester in order to guarantee qualification for the Champions League.<\/p>\n
