Marcus Rashford’s actions speak volumes after David de Gea error

Marcus Rashford’s reaction to David de Gea’s mistake to gift West Ham United the lead against Manchester United speaks volumes of frustrations among players and fans. De Gea produced a horrendous blunder in the first half at the London Stadium as Said Benrahma fired the hosts ahead.

United started the Premier League clash positively, creating numerous openings but again lacking a clinical touch.

But West Ham took the lead out of thin air in the 27th minute when Benrahma profited from a disastrous De Gea error.

The Algerian forward let rip from range under pressure from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Victor Lindelof, failing to get any sort of power behind his effort.

And that seemingly caught De Gea off guard, with the Spaniard looking like he made a comfortable save down to his right before the ball rebounded off him into the back of the net.

It killed any momentum United had built in the opening stages and made for another uncomfortable half of football away from home.

United’s backline produced telling reactions to the goal, with Lindelof falling to his knees in disbelief.

But later replays captured that Erik ten Hag and Rashford were just as shocked with the manner of West Ham’s opener.

The Dutch boss bowed his head in disappointment while Rashford wore a stunned look on his face and put his hands on his head.

His first instinct was to turn to Ten Hag as if it wasn’t the first time he’d aired his frustrations over De Gea’s increased error proneness between the sticks.
