Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been slammed by BBC pundits for over relying on Marcus Rashford.
After selecting Bournemouth goalscorer Josh King in his BBC Team of the Week, Crooks wrote: “It would appear, however, that there seems an over-reliance developing by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Marcus Rashford.
“Solskjaer needs to be reminded that Rashford is only 22 and Manchester United one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“To ask such a young man to carry so much responsibility, often on his own, is bordering on carelessness.”
United again lost to Bournemouth but Ole was ever adamant.
Speaking afterwards, Solskjaer – who has only overseen three wins from 11 Premier League games this season with United languishing in 10th on 13 points – admitted the result was “a step back”.
The Norwegian told BBC Sport’s Match of the Day: “You are always very down when you lose and considering the form we were in we were hoping to take the three points.
“It is a step back for us today, but we need to shake it off and go again.
“We could not capitalise on the good start and a moment of magic won the game for them, sometimes you just hold up your hands and say: ‘Well done’.
“Mason Greenwood was unlucky when he hit the post, I saw him scoring those chances more than missing them, but he will come good.
“I thought Rashford and Martial defended very well against them, but in games like this one it is so important get the first goal and they did it.”
