That's because you went into this season with an agenda like half of the other haters on here.
He's scored 8 goals already. 5 more than anyone else yet he's still the target for you all.
Very sad lives you lead.

Sterling and Grealish are not better than Rashford. Maybe Grealish is better but apparently it isn't working out for him at City.
That said he hasn't impressed me yet this season but none of our attackers have.

The “inconsistent” Rashford GA so far this season compared to the players we’ve listed between us:
Saka - 11
Rashford - 10
Foden - 10
Sterling - 7
Martinelli - 7
Son - 7
Bowen - 5
Kulusevski - 5
Sancho - 4
Grealish - 1
He’s currently on course for a third 30 GA season out of the last 4. By comparison, Son was just about to have his first at Rashford’s current age.
Rashford has scored one of his last 10-15 good chances and he is seen in the eyes of some as irreplaceable. In many ways his finishing along with Ronaldo cost us 1st place in the Europa group. Also that miss v Newcastle could end up costing us top 4.
His overall game is not quite good enough for a team looking to achieve major honours. Mourinho used him the best, impact sub or to counter teams who play a high line defensively.

fecking hell get a life. Agenda? I fecking love Rashford. I'm just not up his arse to the extent I don't see there are others better.
Right so you're saying you wouldn't take Son, Foden, Martinelli or Saka for example, in your Man Utd XI over Rashford?
United fans the ONLY fans who target their top scorer as the primary player for the chopping block in favour for players who simply recycle possession and barely impact the games. Make it make sense
Nah but Sterling and Grealish better. Grealish wins FK a lot.
Just not true. His xg is actually par with his scoring.
In fairness, Son has been utter shite and Saka plays on the right.
Yes and xg gives the average, that's my point. He's average. We need players who outperform their xg to compete with the best.
Outside that I just think other aspects of his game are even below average.
It’s no coincidence that all Rashford’s best performances this season have come when we don’t have Ronaldo stinking the place out and do have Antony keeping the opposition defence on their toes. Even the very best attackers will a lot look more effective when they’re part of a decent attacking unit. Which is something we’ve hardly ever had over the course of the season so far.
Really? Do all of City’s attacking players outperform their xG? What about Liverpool? Spurs? Arsenal?
I'm sure Haaland and Salah do. I'm sure Kane does. Arsenal, I doubt but they have goalscoring midfielders and aren't as reliant on their forwards.
People just don't like the fella and that's fine. I love him and proud he's one of our own. It's not his fault the other forwards are either playing crap or getting injured.
Honestly, just replacing every single time Ronaldo played this season with a bang average PL striker would have had such a massive impact on our season. It’s horrific how bad he is
If you notice he's not very good you have a agenda. I've missed that one.
Not a player I put in comparison originally but yeah, noted.
And my point was never about this season. Its the last 18 months.
Yeah, that’s constantly on my mind this season. How much better we’d be with a mediocre PL striker leading the line. So mental that Manchester United fans find ourselves looking enviously at the likes of Michael Antonio and Danny Ings but here we are.
The season before last he got very similar stats to Son at Spurs. In fact he's only really had one terrible season for us which was last season.
He's now got 100 clubs goals before he turned 25.
How is that 'not very good'? Doesnt mean to say he's world class and one of the best in the world but he's much better than moaners like to admit. He's a solid player and had been our best attacker so far this season by far.
Do to top players really lack versatility so much that asking a right footed wide forward to play as a right sided wide forward is so insurmountable a challenge that it renders them indistinguishable from some from the crowd who's won a raffle to get on the pitch?
I'd question whether that logic holds. Most players have preferred positions but this is taking the piss. He's like the outfield equivalent of Joe Hart. Fine as long as everything is on his preferred side

Why can't you accept other people don't rate him as highly as you without resorting to calling them moaners or telling them they should be ashamed?
You love him others think we should be looking to improve on him. It's a different opinion, not everyone has to agree with you.

Rashford gets a bye for no effort, that's the sad story with this thread.
Because I think it's quite honestly pathetic how he's being targeted right now given he's probably our only forward who is scoring.
Like I said....a lot of people being made to eat their words a little after last season. ETH seems to like him too. That's enough for me.
Yeah Rashford along with pretty much everyone has been dreadful for the majority of the last 18 months. He has been a lot better this season and shown encouraging signs. Still not where he was a few years ago though.

According to this the top five players for xg last season, only Son outperformed it. The rest were below but pretty close. Which calls into question the science of xg at all really. If Rashford is matching his xg then that puts him on par with all the best last season.
Yup he deserves a new contract give it to him. And make it 300k a week so he won't feel depressed not getting as much as Sterling does.
Bowen Saka Foden and the like were not dreadful for 18 months Nor was Martinelli or Son.
And Rashford is still very inconsistent this season let alone last. And bizarrely people think he's having a good season performance wise from it.
I disagree. He's been anonymous in a lot of games and absolutely standout in others. The up and down problem with him still persists at 25. Granted, he's much improved from last season where he was consistently bad but he's not remotely where a starting left winger needs to be for Manchester United.
Yeah, that’s what you’d think from watching him. He’s been scoring not very easy chances and getting very few good chances overall.
1 goal in last 550 minutes of Premier League Football, hardly banging them in.
Yup he deserves a new contract give it to him. And make it 300k a week so he won't feel depressed not getting as much as Sterling does.
Since you bring up Sterling, he has 3 goals and 3 assists more than Rashford over the last two and half years having played more games for a much better team. If it’s that the going rate and if Rashford were available you could guarantee Chelsea would also be paying him that.

He's missed a sitter vs Brighton - lost, Newcastle - drew and a crazy amount of chances vs Omonia which we then barely beat in the 90th min.
He misses chances A LOT
It was a poor performance on Sunday but what is being ignored a little with his chances is how many he has created for himself out of very little. He’s one of the last we should be complaining about currently.
Think he means Son?
I was referring to players at United.
Agreed that he has been inconsistent this season, but inconsistent is a lot better than being consistently awful like he was last season. There's just no need to be so glass half empty over a player who is trying to find form. His work rate and intensity is generally much improved. The guy has been our best attacking player this season and I'd be extremely concerned with regards to our scoring capabilities if he wasn't in the team.

Maybe so but then he's still got 8 goals which isn't bad at all for this stage of season. He could finish on 22/23 at this rate but it still.wohldnt be good enough.
Ronaldo has scored 3 goals, 2 of which came against a team from Moldova. He's the biggest reason we aren't scoring enough goals.
Sancho? He's an absolute pansy too

Because many people are using his goals, just to mention that Saha scored 13 goals in 2006-2007. And I just want to say that there were 2-3 forwards at that time that I would swap him. I admit I am bit biased Towards Saha because I really liked him, but I do think that if you put Rashford in that team and he would have score more goals, but never in a million we would have played that fluent attacking football with him.
I think RVN and Ronaldo (last year) have shown that a forward is not just goals and assists. Rashford loses the ball all the time and doesn't press. He is a good asset to have, but not a reliable one.

Well, no. As per the data in the post I was responding too. No more than most other strikers do anyway.
He's the last player we should be dumping out on the right. After Sunday, I'd rather see Elanga play there and Rashford upfront than Ronaldo as anything other than an impact sub.
Imagine us playing three games in a row with Rashford, Martial and Antony.
Yup he deserves a new contract give it to him. And make it 300k a week so he won't feel depressed not getting as much as Sterling does.
So, a goal or assist every 125 minutes. How does that compare to Saka, Martinelli, Bowen, Grealish or Son for example?
Contributing in only 3 league games out of 13 doesn't look very good.

The player lots of people on here were saying would replace Marcus and perma bench him. I don't mean specifically yourself although you could well be one of them as I haven't bothered to check tbh.
That's what I meant. All this Rashford bashing and our SEVENTY FOUR MILLION signing hasn't even been as good as Marcus.
