No he wasn't, he is an incredibly streaky player who has good spurts not years. Last season in Pl he scored 4 goals in his first 14 pl games. Then finished with 3 goals in last 11 pl games for utd. People remember the 2-3 months where he couldn't stop scoring, forget the 3 months before and 2 months after where he was dogshit.Probably our best player last year, it’s one game simmer down
You’d take a player that didn’t perform as well as Rashford last season in Rashford’s favoured and most suited position because Rashford didn’t have a great game playing in a different position today and last week?That is true. I would take someone with Mitoma's mentality to lead the line long before I give the keys to Rashford. Every week that goes by strengthens that concept because results are there.
It pisses me off. Then people act like it's justified because he does better from the left. When in reality anyone should bust their ass leading the line for Manchester united
I’d take someone who actually wants to put an effort in to help his football club. People wonder why we’re so easy to play against and blame the midfield, but it starts with this lad. It’s incredibly hard to press consistently when one player just trots around up front pretending to be arsed.You’d take a player that didn’t perform as well as Rashford last season in Rashford’s favoured and most suited position because Rashford didn’t have a great game playing in a different position today and last week?

He was still one of if not our best playerNo he wasn't, he is an incredibly streaky player who has good spurts not years. Last season in Pl he scored 4 goals in his first 14 pl games.

We will be nothing but liverpool of 90's and 00's if rashford and bruno are our best players.
He is not a striker and is playing out of position. He has literally gone on record about this and explained why he wants to stay wide left. You would think our "tactical genius" manager would know that and put him in his preferred position -the position in which he hit 30 goals last year - but apparently not.
I will only judge him when he goes back to his favoured position and is not producing.
The sad part is Mitoma instead of Rashford instantly makes us a better side, and that’s alarming given the overall reputation of both players.
Personally I wouldn’t have minded cashing in on the back of his last season form. We could have got £100 million for him at that stage. PSG may even have entertained a swap with mbappe which is what a truly ambitious team would try and do.For those saying we should sell him, did you say that last season when he was banging them in? Honest question. Otherwise it's back to the see saw reaction.
Basically football is a sport where two teams play against each other and one can win, lose or draw. 11 players on each side. It's very common to see a team look disjointed for many reasons but its rare to find a single player that is the problem. Sometimes players just don't perform. Doesn't have anything to do with their personal life, they are playing top level football ffs.He seems so humble and down to earth man whenever you see him talk, his off field stuff, giving interviews the latest one with Neville for example yet looks like a fecking primadonna on the pitch with a stinky attitude, lack of effort, terrible workrate and sulking. You won’t believe this is the same player who talks about giving his all, die for the shirt, how much being a united player means to him. What’s going on? Is that all for show and PR?
Exactly. You don't need world class players in every position. A good manager implements a system where the sum is bigger than the parts. That's what's happening at Brighton. Sure, they have som great players. But the majority are just good players who have well-defined roles.You see, this just wouldn't happen. Much like saying Bellingham would have ripped it up here as he's doing so for Real.
The problem is, other teams have systems where players can actively thrive. I'm pretty sure had Sancho moved to another big club, and even back in the day, had Pogba moved to Real and not us, both would have looked far better players than they do/did with us.
Since Fergie retired, we basically haven't had a system that allowed players to thrive. Barring a-few month spell under ETH last season, it's all been square pegs/round holes and sloppy, disjointed systems. Mitouma would have looked a dud here, I'm pretty sure.

Possibly. There have been reports over the years that PSG admire him as a player. They know that mbappe is going so £50 million plus Rashford would have surely been a tempting offer rather than him going for free.Never believed those PSG stories for a second. He'd have been an almost comical downgrade for them. All that surely was invention designed to improve his own contract.
Well there were a fair few credible whispers about that PSG link earlier this summer from a number of sources. And that contract took a while to be signed. Keep an eye on this one, I have a funny feeling we'll be hearing more of it during this season.Never believed those PSG stories for a second. He'd have been an almost comical downgrade for them.

I can agree with some of this, but the bottom line is Mitoma is a better final third decision maker and elite 1v1 dribbler, something Rashford is not on either.

You mean the Mitoma that is older than Rashford and scored the incredible amount of 7 goals and 5 assists in the league last seasonI can agree with some of this, but the bottom line is Mitoma is a better final third decision maker and elite 1v1 dribbler, something Rashford is not on either.
Agreed. I really rate him but this part of his game infuriates me.Regardless of any of Rashfords faults, my biggest issue with him still remains that he’s a lazy feck much of the time off the ball b
fecking bat shit in here. Rashford is offering nothing apparently after a 30 goal season, 39 goal contributions total, and people reel off players who deliver far less. Talk about familiarity breeding contempt.You mean the Mitoma that is older than Rashford and scored the incredible amount of 7 goals and 5 assists in the league last season
Mitoma is a superb player but let’s not get carried away and downplay Rashford so much.
Whether we like it or not, he’s one of our best forwards who just had a 39 G+A season.
He is not a striker and is playing out of position. He has literally gone on record about this and explained why he wants to stay wide left. You would think our "tactical genius" manager would know that and put him in his preferred position -the position in which he hit 30 goals last year - but apparently not.

No he didn’t.Rashford used to reckon CF was his best position and was a sulky, whining fecker when he had to go out wide. Nowadays he is better on the left but it doesn’t excuse his performances or attitude at CF.
People deliberately ignoring the fact that, as ever, there's always a significant degree of switching that goes on during the course of any game. As if Ten Hag plants a tree near the opposition goal post and ties him to it.
He had freedoms to wander and switch and had regularly done so in matches where people argue it's okay if he was shit because he was only allowed to stand in one position.
Players from any position can and should end up in a multitude of places on the pitch given how the build up play is progressing/ how the ball is won back. Rashford is no exception. So stop pretending he was tethered to playing through the middle like some kind of naughty step.
Really don't rate him at all. He's extremely limited and even during his best ever run, looked decent at best for the majority of those games. He's English and talks the talk, so United will give him ridiculous contracts forever, but he wouldn't get into the starting lineup of a serious top club anywhere. His usual tactic is to run directly towards a defender and hope for the best. When this doesn't work and he loses the ball, he breaks into a plod and loses interest.
Needs to be told to keep it simple. As a lead striker keep it simple - touch, hold, pass.
He is trying too many turns and dribbles.
For those saying we should sell him, did you say that last season when he was banging them in? Honest question. Otherwise it's back to the see saw reaction.
