I fell asleep for a lot of the match only caught last ten minutes, where he looked decent. That clip though fffffssss! That's the kind of madness inducing sh*t he was up to last season. Def hairdryer needed after that when we've lost to fecking Palace.
If that happened in a game circa year 2000, Roy Keane would legit be in prison for GBH shortly after.
Also was that the loose ball that ended up crocking Martial? Saw him basically limping at the end of the game.
Not everyone can have the luxury of being managed by Pep. Funnily enough , Mourinho was criticised for being too tough ? I wonder what the next excuse will be.Unfortunately it seems like Ole is just the wrong manager for him at the moment. Giving him praise and freedom to do what he feels is right on pitch isn't working out.
In a way it's hard to blame Rashford. The way he came into the team, our reliance on him, making him the poster boy and giving him the no.10 shirt would get to anyone's head. Not having a tough manager just adds to it all.

He's been really crap for almost two years now.
173 games for this club and so far I still can't understand how so many on here think he's talented. He's very very average in every department much like our squad. If we had good players, he would be seen as the weak link.
If you're from Manchester or from our academy for that matter, it seems like you can get away with performing like crap and then score a couple of goals every now and then and still be regarded as a great player.
So a 21 year old has been on and off since he was 19. Insightful.
Can’t imagine how you would have reacted if we had a young Sterling developing in our team during the same age bracket.
Only in a figurative sense I guess, because I think their struggles are quite different. I actually think Welbeck was very good at getting in the right position, making the correct decisions, etc. He just lacked composure to put away easy chances (and yet would bury very difficult ones at times.) I never questioned his attitude - just lack of composure was his main downfall (and injuries in his post-United career.) Rashford clearly has decision-making issues. That gif that was posted above from his long-range 'effort' against Palace is just cringe-worthy. It's the same when he lines up to take a free kick. I think he can still be a very good player, but he needs a stern word in his ear.He is our new Danny Welbeck. And how things going last couple of years i will not be suprised if same happened to Greenwood. Simply young players strugle to make a progres for a whole decade.
Rashford has less than 30 PL goals (in 114 PL games) and is on £250k/w...
It's a joke really. We are such a poorly run club. Rashford is a great talent no doubt but he has by no means earned that wage.
With proper coaching, he'd walk into any team in the world.

We always underrate or overrate our players. There's isn't an inbetween.
I think another issue is that he's expected to lead and be senior. He would've gained massively from playing next to world class strikers such as Zlatan, Suarez, Lewandowski etc. He needs to see good decision making in real time. He has Martial and James/Greenwood now. Not much to look up to, despite himself being far from the finished article.
Good coaching will not suddenly make him the best player in the world.

No but he needs to realize he's not that good and play to his limitations. Be fast, direct and shoot. Thats all.
I dread the day he scores a wonder goal. He won't stop attempting them after that.
Also, check Rashford’s stats against Ronaldo, Rooney, Kane and a few of their peers...he is very similar to them at this stage of their careers. They were ticking along in the high single/low double figures and then had a big breakout season around this point in Rashford’s career so there is precedent for strikers making a massive leap from good to great....he may not of course but the tools are in place so there is a good chance it could happen (this goes for Martial too by the way...)
I'm just not sure he will progress much more unless he REALLY works hard to get rid of his flaws.Also, check Rashford’s stats against Ronaldo, Rooney, Kane and a few of their peers...he is very similar to them at this stage of their careers.

Him and Martial are average players leading an average team.
The state of some of these comments....he’s limited, he’s a kick and rush merchant, he’s not that good, not good enough for this level, been crap for two years etc...they’re so bad they make my eyes bleed!!! Do these posters actually watch him? Really watch him!?
He’s a young lad who is learning on the job. He’s not the finished article yet but we should be excited to see him develop. He surely needs a bit more from our supporters while he does....I don’t know....like some support maybe?
He is a talented boy and will continue to improve but he’s effectively learning on the job. The more he plays though, the more he’ll cut out the over indulgence. We should be applauding his ambition, not tearing him down. Goodness knows we need some ambition and imagination from our players after the last few “difficult” seasons...
