To judge him so early in preseason is incredibly harsh. I hope Rashford cuts the retainer with his incompetent PR firm other than for crisis management, and stay away from socials. There's just too much negativity out here.
Henry Winter: Rashford spent the summer getting supremely fit, reporting early for training | Wants to stay as he loves the club
- Thread starter Kush
- Start date
I have a sneaking feeling that he ran one sprint for the PR team's picture then went home, cause hdid not look like he has been preparing for a new season early
Depressing that he is the top earner and holds us back. Wish we sold him and got in someone who is a complete attacker rather than a pure speed merchant.
He wont. Feel like it is as obvious as not giving Phil Jones that 4 year contract.
Not sure on the merits of such PR, surely it's obvious that it'll bring higher expectations as a result?
Or is he going for the angle of 'I'm extra fit but look at how EtH still can't get a tune from me'?

Groundhog day with Rashford. Working extra hard, training on his holiday, more motivated than ever, looking forward to a great season. We might get a short purple patch but then before long its back to his usual sulking. We've got to move on from this type of player.
Will it be another head pointing season?
You mean the one he scored 30 goals in?
Maybe I'm just grumpy, but I'd expect any player paid half a trillion quid per week to always be in peak condition
Gotta think of the brand
Dion and Wumminator are both part of Rashford's PR team. Or at least they'really desperate to be.
They're obviously bigger fans of Rashford than the club itself.

Nowhere to hide for rashford this season, another season like last and he will have a really difficult time with the fanbase.
For me it's not even about performances, it's about effort. His mentality is the issue for him. If he was being scouted I imagine that they'd say he's brilliant ability-wise, but doesn't have what it takes mentally. When we scouted Garnacho I remember a journalist said we liked him because he kept going. Rashford is the exact opposite.
Henry Winter just promoting his new venture after being bombed by The Times.
He talks a lot of ambiguous b*******s.

You feel that 24/25 is certainly going to be a 'make or break' season for Rashford at United.
IMO improvements required:
First his mental strength needs to return, whatever his worries are they have to be jettisoned.
Second he needs re-think his 'play-making', his links with others around him, not just them feeding him. but him thinking about how he helps them.
Thirdly his personal repertoire of skills/moves has to change, he's become so easy to defend against especially when he's out wide on the left.
also for goodness sake Marcus you need to smile more, stop looking as though every minute on the pitch is torture.
Good luck 'Rashy'.

Has he ever had back to back poor seasons? Genuinely curious.
Wish he would just use his pace on the pitch instead.
I'll judge Rashford off his work this year, not off another Winter puff-piece.
Hi Rashy do u want picking up in the morning pal...
Didn't he total another one of his cars not that long ago, or am I getting him mixed up with another one of our players?
The hot and cold of Rashford has truly grated on me to the point i've lost all faith in him as a player here at united.
He will undoubtedly have a good spell this season and look unplayable for 10-15 games. Then it'll all go to pot again and he will look like he's never kicked a ball in his life with the trademark sulk and lack of application.
Repeat next season. And the one after.
He's had chance after chance to prove his worth as a CONSISTENT performer, but he always comes up short. The negatives of his performances outweigh the positives for me - so for me he can put all the work in he likes in preseason - just a matter of time before he crumbles again. If we didnt have so much work to do around the squad i'd prioritise selling him - but we have far more pressing issue's around the squad

Yes he did.
Going by his on-again, off-again seasonal form we should be in for a decent showing this time out.
He’ll go from being the club’s poster boy, to the epitome image of the Woodward/Glazer years, and his wonderful PR team won’t even see it coming.
To think of the potential he showed when he burst into the team, to how uninterested he looks today.
If he has stuff going on and is jaded or lacklustre he should move on for his own well being as well as the team's.

The club need to step in, he's got previous for this.
Tool
What's happened to this guy?
Reading about him kills off any positivity that the club is trying to build. At this point I just wish for him to either shut up and play well or be sold.
I presume the M60 is like the English autobahn...
Why does the PR stuff need to stop? You can clearly just ignore it.
Who cares? Why would it bother people? The only thing that should count is his performances and the factors surrounding same as long as they're reasonable.
Just in: from now on, anyone caught overtaking Marcus Rashford will get 12 points on their licence.
Instead of the ones who have been abusive. Good to know.
Umm no. Whoever performs best in training should start. Could be Antony and Sancho who start the season. Who knows?
Lost his pace.
Amad should be the starter.
Because he needs to be concentrating on the football not his image, that's why.
With a 70mph limit unless it was temporarily down to 50 for roadworks or something.....70 tops!
As if he has any more than a minor input into stuff like this.
