Agbonlahor issues ‘amazing’ Marcus Rashford claim after what he’s heard from Man United teammate
Marcus Rashford has totally turned around his fortunes and has proved Man United are a better side without Cristiano Ronaldo, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker insisted there is no reason why Man United cannot finish in the top four after their recent turnaround.
After losing their opening three Premier League games, Erik ten Hag’s side have won their last four.
Against Arsenal last weekend (4 September), Rashford scored twice and provided an assist as they ran out 3-1 winners at Old Trafford.
“Man United look a lot better now, they look more organised and like they have a better team spirit,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“Everyone was calling for Man United to drop Ronaldo and play players who want to press and they are reaping the benefits.
“You look at [Christian] Eriksen and [Bruno] Fernandes in the middle creating and [Scott] McTominay’s looking good.
“Antony looks like a great signing. [Jadon] Sancho is starting to want to take players on and Rashford is looking like we want to see and thought we had. This amazing Rashford is a guarantee for the World Cup with the way he’s playing.
“It’s looking better at Man United. What it has done as well has probably forced [Todd] Boehly’s hand at Chelsea to think ‘If I don’t change this soon we might not make the top-four’.
“There are at least six teams fighting for the top four. There is no reason why Chelsea are guaranteed to get it or Spurs or Arsenal.
“United will be fancying themselves on their recent form to get into the top four.”
