Because captain must play. No matter how bad he plays, he will start

Do you think it might give him a lift if people actually cheered him on though? Not just when his name is read. But through out the game and in social media? I have never seen a United player get the kind of abuse he does. It's one thing if it's rivals. That's easy to deal with. But your own supporters? People seem to think he named his own price and picked himself as captain. We need to get over it and try lifting him, not try to knock him down even further...

I didn't particularly think it was great he was booed on England duty. Although I thought he was lucky to be in the squad on club form (as the fans booing most likely thought). However his selection is due to never really letting England down and Southgate valuing him amongst his group.

If you hear boos towards him today, it will most likely be from the Leicester fans. As they do the same with Chilwell.

I think if you see a player making similar mistakes regularly (he is not alone), then being silent after his name being read out pre match is an indicator that the fans would like to see someone else get a chance and it is treatment plenty of players get (I prefer it to booing).

I'd pay little attention to social media in general.

He didn't set his price, he didn't make himself captain. It shows how poorly run as a club we have been.

At least the foxes have been waxing hot and cold most season, more cold than hot though. Hopefully we can put them to bed, otherwise I'd welcome another international break. :lol:

Rangnnic has provided an update.

“He had some flu like symptoms before training yesterday, he didn’t feel well enough to train," Rangnick said. "We sent out doctor to his home this morning to check if he felt any better but he didn't, so he’s not in the starting XI as he was supposed to be."

Contrast that with the blind faith paid to our £80mil CB by some & one has to wonder why the vitriol for Rashford.

As has been bought up a few times recently our fanbase are generally embarrassing when it comes to supporting our players. Rashford returning to a semblance of good form is a positive for the team especially with the money we need to spend elsewhere.

Bruno or Sancho need to have blinders or I can't see anybody even nabbing a goal.

Err...Maguire gets even more shit than Rashford does.

Rashford's problem isn't just that he's playing terribly. It's that he's been extremely lazy for two years now, and it really does seem that he (or more likely his camp) are regularly leaking things to the press. Put all that together and it's a recipe to piss a lot of people off.

stu_1992 · Apr 2, 2022

Shame about Ronaldo being out sick but an otherwise solid team. I just hope we have enough fire power to get the job done though. Damming for Rashford that after a few weeks off and no fit strikers that he can't find a way to break into the team. I know he's not best as a number 9, but still.

LuckyScout78 · Apr 2, 2022

Rarest manager post Sir Alex.

Ralf try to be genius.

When you have a more natural CF in Rashford. Then he go for a winger as a false 9.

On a max level and potentia. If Rashford hit the day and max form. Not a chance Sancho and Elanga is better than Rashford. Not a chance.

Rashford is just lacking confidence, a bit top motivation and maybe out of form. Because of a inconsistent United collective and manager strange line up.

I am glad Ralf is just an interim manager. Strangest United manager ever. Try to be genius.

Rashford is not a natural winger. He is a trough ball forward. Because of Rashford top acceleration and speed. Rashford is throwing all around the attacking line. A little bit Mbappe in United. LW, CF, RW...and you maybe can develop Rashford as full RB too.

Never get a chance to specialize a role at United. Just thump for LVG and Mourinho using Rashford as CF.
The flexibility of Rashford starting with Ole. Moving Martial up as CF and Rashford as LW. And where are Martial and Rashford right now. Both go backwards.

I would welcome a manager that specializes players. Clearly and specific roles. Not all over the place and try just to be good here and there, but not best as one position.

AndySmith1990 · Apr 2, 2022

Good team. Just hope they can do the business and we're not having to rely on subs, as that bench is piss poor.

Rashford has always been abysmal as a centre forward, not form dependent. Pogba and Bruno are both far better up top.

This is just my opinion, not fact, but I feel starting Rashford right now will do him more harm than good. It's not just a form thing with him, it's something a little deeper.

An extended spell out of the side to think things through might actually do him some good.

Rashford's in poor form, if he changes that on the training ground and pitch, he can start.

Doesn’t take a genius to know that

There’s definitely nothing unconventional about keeping Rashford out of the team when he’s consistently played worse than every one one of those attackers, and his last performance was truly abysmal. He doesn’t want to be on the pitch most of the time these days, you can just see so much of it is a painful experience for him.

I think Sancho at his best is better than Rashford at his best. I dont think Elanga is a super talent though.

It isnt really an issue though because Rashford has not been anywhere near his best for a very long time. He has been playing poor for such a long time that it might even become to start considering that he played much better than a player of his talents should be doing. The infamous ''purple patch'' thing. Although im not there yet.

Rashford looks absolute gash leading the line in any kind of link up football. Like true and total gash. Someone needs to combine his touches in Ralf's first 100 minutes at the club he played Rashford centrally. If you think he's making bad decisions now. When he played central he was knocking 1-2s into nowhere. Ralf isn't an idiot, there was a process that got us to this point.

Well, we call it passing the ball to Bruno, he called it a symptom.

Rashford has not done a thing to warrant a start.

He's barely looked a footballer ffs.

Can't find a starting spot for Rashford even without Ronaldo, Cavani, Martial, James and Greenwood. Who would have thought that at the start of the season. Happy that Ragnick sees that Rashford now contributes feck all.

I agree, on paper you'd think one touch football that looks to score within 6 seconds would suit Rashford fine but nope he messes up the one touch part and it's us almost getting scored within 6.
