Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has received a surprising upgrade in the latest FIFA 22 squad update, despite his poor form in recent weeks.
Having started FIFA 22 rated 85 out of 99 overall, Rashford 's underwhelming season has seen the Englishman downgraded three times so far in FIFA 22, currently rated 82 overall. The forward hasn't scored for United since January and has only managed four goals in the Premier League this season.
Since Ralf Rangnick took over as manager, Anthony Elanga has seemingly been a first-choice over Rashford, with the Swedish winger having started more league games than Rashford in that time. In spite of this, EA Sports have opted to reward the forward with a handful of upgrades to his in-game stats on FIFA 22, with a couple of other United players also seeing changes to their stats in the latest update.

Marcus Rashford receives upgrade in FIFA 22
Despite scoring only four goals in the Premier League and being without a goal since January, Rashford has received boosts to his finishing attribute in FIFA 22, along with three other stats and a position change. The 24-year-old's primary position has been changed from left midfielder to left-winger, while his second position has changed from right midfielder to right-winger.
His finishing upgrade has seen the attribute increase from 80 to 81 rated, whilst he's also received upgrades to his agility (84-85), reactions (78-80) and vision (75-76). Even though Rashford received upgrades to a collection of his in-game stats, the forward remains at 82 rated overall.
His increase to 81 finishing makes him the fourth-best finisher at the club according to FIFA 22, with Bruno Fernandes (83), Edinson Cavani (85) and Cristiano Ronaldo (94) the only players rated higher. As well as Rashford, five other players were updated in-game.
Anthony Elanga's overall rating increased from 71 to 72 rated, while Fred received upgrades to 13 of his in-game stats, but not to his overall rating. Aaron Wan-Bissaka was handed a major downgrade to his in-game stats as well as his overall rating (81 to 80), while Victor Lindelof and Diego Dalot also received changes to their in-game stats.
