Marcus Rashford appeared to point the finger of blame at Manchester United when quizzed on his longstanding battle with on-field consistency.
When at his best, Rashford has been among football’s elite talents. He had two seasons with 17 Premier League goals at Old Trafford, hitting double figures in another two years, but maintaining those levels has proven a real challenge for the Englishman.
England manager Thomas Tuchel is among those to have pointed to consistency as Rashford’s greatest flaw, arguing he would be a world-class player if he could figure out a way to produce those superstar performances game after game.
Asked whether he agreed with Tuchel’s assessment, Rashford appeared to suggest the environment at United was a contributing factor to his struggles.
“For sure, consistency is a massive part of it,” he told . “I feel like I have been in an inconsistent environment for a very long time, so it is even more difficult to be consistent.
“But I completely agree, I think consistency is what I need to bring into my game and I am looking to do that. I want to be at my best, not sometimes, but as often as possible.
