Are you his agent/brother?Thought he did well and had a good game, personally.
Ha ha he's had a poor run of form, i think he is "there" and we'll see it again soon in my view.

he was the worst player on the pitch in red
Exactly my thoughts.Didn’t come off for him today, but wasn’t down to a lack of effort like we have seen earlier in the season. No need to get the pitchforks out this time, in my opinion.
Personally thought he was one of our weakest players today. Enjoyed watching Garnacho and Hojlund more in that front three, more so in the second half.
His stamina has been poor for years. I remember arguing with posters all the way back in Ole's day about his lack of effort. People would claim that he's playing through injury. My argument would be if he can sprint forward, why can't he sprint back?Is it just me or is his conditioning appalling? He looks completely exhausted every time he has made a sprint and I can't help but think that it's part of the reason for his lack of pressing. Watching Martinelli in the Arsenal game after really put this into perspective. When he loses the ball, he busts his gut to get it back. You just don't see Rashford do that.
If you look at most people of a similar role to him in top teams, they also cheat a bit defensively. Leao, Mbappe, Salah etc etc. They are all outlets whose main attribute is their pace and finishing. I think they have to because in each game they have to conserve their energy for short bursts and that's why at times they are accused of floating in and out of games. They are also not injured very often so it definitely is not by coincidence.His stamina has been poor for years.

Work rate and pressing was one of his strengths in his early years. He's added a lot of muscle since then. Maybe his body can't handle the workload with the added mass?
