Injuries have ruined him. It's just sad to watch him play now, I feel like he's waiting for the club to put him out of his misery and ship him off to Everton.

5 goals for the season is tragic.
Unless he scores 3 more goals in the next 5 games he'll have is worst season tally for United.

Glad the rest of you eventually caught up
Absolute disgrace, get rid of this imposter.
Plays like someone who thinks the club owes him something, he wouldn't look out of place at Swindon Town
The reset needs to start and needs with getting him and Maguire out of the club

What a great decision that was to delay the operation, play injured for majority of the season(and not just that, but play almost every game), only to sit out the World Cup.
The fact that Ole and club allowed it was criminal, and I remember few here actually defending it.

His salary for one.
Ole got more out of him than anyone else did, you can criticize the man management required to do it but he has never been as confident since then.
I don’t think it’s much of a ‘I told you so’ moment.
He was a good player but injuries and other issues have impacted him massively. If it’s the injuries he’s likely never going to be the same again. We’d do well to get some returns for him with a buy back clause in case he returns to a quality player.
I see mixed feelings on Rashford, some say he is low on confidence and unhappy/mental health issues , others say he is a fraud and living off his name and not his football.
Bottom line this guy earns 250k a week, he is in a massively privileged position , he is a manc....ive supported him when he was in youth team long before his debut but ive seen a young player come through and throw his heart and soul into his football, chasing lost causes producing moments of magic....he was happy to be part of it, he was humble and likeable....fast forward to today we have Marcus Rashford mbe the brand, a guy who looks and acts like he is untouchable with a huge chip on his shoulder, stinking the place out and largely unlikable.
Thats fame for you.

He was paid his salary as an employee of the club, it makes no sense to say we need to recoup it.
This fraud is getting paid as much as Salah and Kane! Absolute embarrassment! If he isn't shipped this summer then it's obvious this club has no intention of changing how it operates. He will become unsaleable next season and walk for free. Again. Or God forbid he gets a new contract. The thought makes me shiver.
I like to think Rashford has some tiny amount of credit in the bank after carrying us alongside Bruno for a season and a bit but I'd still gladly accept a good offer at this point.
We can only hope that once the trio of Pogba-Lingard-Rashford is broken up, he wont be distracting by any dabbing or beanz and can get back to some sort of form. He wont be sold and who would want him after this campaign.
He was really poor in his last 6 months pre world cup too. Ole completely changed him as a player and he didn't improve at all under him, he stopped doing half pressing as he used to do under managers before, he was his golden boy
He finished top 10 in the league in terms of goals + assists in his 2 full seasons with Solskjær, if that is not improvement, I miss the criteria for improvement.
Keane saying he played like a child cracked me up.
The players and board have become one. This is what they have nurtured
Such nonsense. Now it is Pogba and Lingard's fault for "distracting" him?
Fans talking about "dabbing" with his mates being a massive detriment to player performance and all this other nonsense is just so ignorant to be honest. Funny how none of the shite Lewandowski gets up to on TikTok is detrimental or derided so constantly.
No twitter essay today I notice. Perhaps his brand management board have finally cottoned on.
Maybe he'll wait for the next 2 losses against Arsenal and Chelsea to write one big assay about all of them, rather than writing one for every match. Makes sense.
The less said, the better. No need to wait on him to shape up, just ship him out and move on. Hopefully he finds joy again in club football because he's making it a chore. Wearing the 10 shirt, making loads of money, and the club believed in him to be a key figure (right or wrong), and he's not been fighting for the club, fans, nor his teammates for two years now.
Injuries are not a concern. His mentality is completely shot and he needs time away. If he comes close to the England WC squad, you know damn well Southgate and The FA are doing it for his status within England as an MBE rather than the football player.

Actually a pretty decent comparison
Very good comparison although Alli at his best I think was better than Rashford top level, but Rashford was better for a longer period of time and was ruined by the back injury.
Had nothing to do with man management, the Rashford under Ole was pre-back injury. After the injury he was terrible for Ole just like he's been terrible for Ralf, and now just walks around the pitch not giving a feck.
I'm sure at one stage he was quite good, or did I just imagine it?
Cheap excuse. He doesnt bother, thats the problem
How have injuries ruined him? It's not like he can't even run at full speed anymore like Owen
Does anyone still think he should get a contract renewal ? I think it would be another disastrous move if we do tha5.
Absolutely not
He's not quite as fast on the top end but still quick with a head of steam, but the back injury no doubt cost him the explosiveness in short bursts that allowed him to dribble by players. He was never technically great, but could still beat his man because of the explosiveness that he now lacks.
Basically it sapped him of his main advantage, and now all of his weaknesses are getting exposed when he has to fall back on other ways to help his side. Not to mention he's a lazy sack of shite these days which I think makes everyone here completely fed up with him.
He looked pretty fast going 1v1 against Trent-Alexander. His decision making and dribbling skills let him down
Yep.
Rashfords issue is not athleticism but football intelligence, technical quality and these days also drive/mentality.
He has actually been putting more effort lately, his pressing numbers have increased significantly.
He just lacks any quality on the ball right now.

Ole got the most out of his potential before Rashford got injured. Whatever is ailing Marcus right now its his confidence more than anything.
He plays in a dysfunctional team and makes a lot of very bad decisions on the ball himself, all in all that makes it incredibly hard for him to regain any gamebreaker form as he had in 19/20 in particular.
As with many players on this team, its all about doing whatever they can to save anything from the season, and take a proper vacation without cellphones.

Rashford's been poor for the last two seasons. He managed to still get a decent amount of goals and assists last season, but his general performances were barely any better than what we're seeing now. And he was just as bad in the first part of this season with Ole than what he has been with Ralf; the only difference is that Ralf has actually responded to that by dropping him to the bench.
I would say his absolute peak was getting up there, it's just that it only lasted for the two or three months directly before the back injury.
Before that he'd always been an inconsistent kid with potential who tended to play well and score against the top teams. Then in 19/20 it looked like it was all coming together. Ripping the opposition apart and carrying our attack for a while, it genuinely looked like he was on the verge of stepping up to the world class level. It was almost like a lesser version of what Cristiano did in 06/07 where it all just clicked together. Then, the back injury, and he's never been remotely the same since.
Many of us were worried when we continued playing him when it was obvious that he was struggling with a back injury. They aren't the type of injury that you mess around with, and there was a worry that we might be risking the long-term for a short-term benefit. Whether that is actually what has happened is something we might never know. It might be the back injury still physically effecting him. Maybe it's mentally effecting him. Perhaps during his time off he lost some of his hunger and drive. Or maybe this would have happened anyway. Nobody can really say for sure.

Sorry mate, I just see so much crazed ramblings and reasons for things from a variety of posters that it's hard to know what is real or not anymore!
Sounds right
He covered enough yards last night but the aggression and required nastiness has gone. You can't play CF and be that nice and quiet. He treated van Dyke like he would the Queen.
He should be booed like pogba so that he also gets the message to feck off.
