I guess giving him that fat new contract was a mistake after all. Should've sold him when we had the chance. No other top club would have him as an undisputed starter, but that's what he is for us.

That's the point I was making. Players also need to be accountable. Its possible to blame both.
47 palace defenders in the box. What does he decide to do. Head down and runs straight into them. Might as well just pass them the ball and save us all the rage of watching the same move with the same outcome over and over again. He's not going down the line, he's not even cutting inside for a shot.
Rest him
Rest him
Absolute fraud
Disgusting attitude, he sums up everything wrong with our club

Glad I voted sell along with 70% others in that poll, but as usual a vocal minority here like to forcefully tell others here they are wrong and he is WC. Well his attitude is anything but WC. I'd rather have a player of less quality but with a will of steel any day of the week, any player jogging and hiding the way he does clearly has no great love for this club.
We also dont understand fans like you. A lot of "if" and "comparing" to others bad preforming players atm makes me understand that you also agree he is so bad. Thank you.
You mean the game where we both played our B team on a Tuesday night in a Carabao cup game where Martial who barely ever scores anymore also scored?It's funny you say that because the game where we scored the most goals this season is where he wasn't playing. At this point, Rashford could stand still in the same spot for 90 minutes without touching the ball and his PR team will find a way to make it the teams fault.
Half their team was the team that played today. The others were subs. They also put Eze and Hughes on.
We simply played better football without Bruno and Rashford and had much more control.
Yes, lets ignore the past 4 seasons in 3 of which he's scored 20+ goals and 10 + assists. If he leaves the team today and our next top 2 scorers (Casemiro and Bruno) score the same amount as they did last year ( 7 and 14), who do you think replaces Rashford's 30 goals?
How many managers has he seen off now?
No, I think he is playing poorly - but so is the whole team. If a whole team is playing poorly, do you think it makes sense to single 1 player out?
In a Carabao cup game. Did you watch the game? It was considerably slower, they clearly did care about that game one bit.
Casemiro apparently. Its nearly October and he's our top scorer and Rashford doesn't look like scoring anytime soon.
And Rashford isn't Mbappe. His output doesn't warrant us carrying him all game so he's ready in the big moments.
Casemiro has been arguably even worse for our team than Rashford is supposedly this season. Our midfield is one of the major reasons we don't control games, but we're looking at a winger instead. It doesn't make sense. Only Varane has been good in the entire team.
As for output, name me one player in world football available right now for less than £100m that gives us 30 goals.
That's not even remotely close to the point I was making? You said no one else scores goals. The clear implication being without him we are toothless, and I showed it wasn't the case. It's a very tired argument to put down criticisms and it's just not true.
If you had said no one else in the team will score 20+ then I'd agree as we simply don't have a reliable goal scorer for the way we are playing, and that includes Marcus this season. Playing counter and on the break suits him and that's why he has the goals in the past seasons. ETH is trying not to do that now and his goals have dried up - it's not a coincidence. If we revert to that style he might pick up again.
He 100% let us down today. Dalot had to play for two.
I quite clearly didn't mean that he scores 100% of our goals...
His position should be up for competition. He does not deserve to start games right now. Play him and Garnacho till one of them does enough to hold the spot down.
Do we overhype Rashford?
He was a poor player even when he was scoring. He's like the players that get awarded MOTM by lazy commentators if they score and based on nothing else.
When he scores, yes. He was so good at scoring last year, but not so much anything else. So when the scoring dries up he offers nothing
Hello @AMMO
Such a poor way at looking at things. Same thing as when people here said Spurs are done because Kane left, here they are doing better.
We scored more the season Ronaldo left, than the season with him. That is not how football works, individual goals don't mean squat, the number of goals a team scores do.
Post-contract emotional issues. There’s still a footballer in him, but he’s got issues to work through first. He’s a footballer who clearly is playing with no joy right now.
I am not disagreeing that he played poorly. My point is, in any other team if their main player isn't scoring someone else will step up. It's very common for other team's forwards to have bad games. The difference with us right now is that if Rashford is having a poor game quite usually there's no one take up the goal scoring mantle (reliaby, not occasionally).
If Salah doesn't score, Diaz, Nunez, Jota almost definitely will. If Saka doesn't score Martinelli, Odegaard, Nketiah, Jesus will. If Haaland doesn't score, Alvarez....etc etc. Just look at our forward options. If Rashford doesn't score the only other hope is Bruno and apparently Casemiro (which says it all really). Bruno and Rashford have similar deficiencies. We're just too one dimensional and that's why people heap it on Rashford. We genuinely don't have another forward in our team right now that is guaranteed to get 10 goals this season - but the focus is on Rashford? I don't get it.
This has always been his level and his game. Last season it seemed everything he did worked out for him, but there were still the signs of the selfish, zero footballing intelligence footballer he is.
He's just reverted to type.
Unless we end up back in the Europa league and have another long run in the League cup, I can't see him getting close to 30 goals again. This is a player who's best PL return is 17. And that was him being carried so he could score in the big moments.
Watch the passes Salah makes in a match and then the ones Rashford makes. It is an absolute disgrace that Rashford is one of our "star" players.
He has been so very poor and not only poor, utterly poor so far, hiding, not running, not pressing, giving ball away. He is a net minus so far this season. Considering we're in dire straights and he is our marquee player he is severely underperforming, he was totally anonymous today, Garnacho literally puked his lungs out on the other flank in comparison at fraction of the cost and expectations.
One of them is a genuine world class player. The other one (mistakenly) thinks he is
Honestly, this quote could be from any game he has played recently and it fits.
We could probably have wrangled £120m or so for the one season wonder.
Now we've committed to paying him £90m instead. Payday achieved, feet up.

Created our best chance once again with the through ball for Hojlund. Average apart from that. Out of form like the rest of the team.
Think it's more than that. Hes pretty shite.
Not a very good point when he's got 1 goal in 7 games so far.
25 years but plays like 18. The fact that he is our main guy shows why we are always 3rd to 7th level side. That's his level and our level.
The point is still valid, despite how much you try to discredit it.
That's Kane right there.
Post-contract emotional issues??? WTF am I actually reading
Not at all, i agree with you in some parts, but you also need to understand that by constantly justifying him, even if he plays badly, just because he is a child of United, shouldn't he be spared criticism? some fans may be tired of it, but I'm far from justifying them.
