We also played much much better without them in the league cup win against Palace.

It's high time his performances put him on the bench for a game or two.
Time to drop him, he needs a reality check. Garnacho looks much more of a threat on the left at the moment.
He's a player for a reactive football team not a proactive one. When space is limited he's always struggled and that compounds his poor decision making.
We did exactly this mid week, not to a top top level but our chances did not come from one winger constantly trying to beat 2/3 players and we scored 3 goals.
Rashford had plenty of passing opportunities to make combinations yesterday and ignored them

Didnt deserve automatic call back into the team last game. We have backed ourselves in the corner by giving him that contract. Seems like an attitude and motivation issue as he had no problem last season when contract negotiations were going on.
I wonder where all the posters are hiding who would label any Rashford critic as “Tories”. Was amusing how even foreigners were labelled the same
Hope he finds his motivation again but this attitude will stop him from becoming the player we all hoped he will become

As a non Croatian I second Perisic. What a player he would have been for us.
Nice source.
Pretty sure this has been a story since the summer hence he was pictured coming out of clubs in Miami with multiple woman. They had gotten engaged last season if I recall then it was called off and he had a Hawt girl summah!!!
Not true then according to caf experts so must be that he’s just fecking crap then innit. Or will that be rebuffed as well.
The Scum as a source.
Even from the above, you allege he’s been cheating, the above says nothing of the sort only that the relationship has ended.
If you like you can pm me for his mums phone number, you can’t get much better source other than the man himself.The Scum as a source.

Wow you seem disturbed.
His biggest weakness is running with his head down. Can that be coached? Or taught now?
He's a regrouping defenses best asset. They know that if they've left themselves vulnerable they will have time to get men back because Rashford has to take four, five, six touches of the ball first, try and take someome on and if he can't he'll either lose the ball or pass sideways.
There isn't a player in the world who would score goals in a team where 90% of the attacking build-up play goes through this guy. We go into every game knowing a dozen opportunities to create are going to be wasted by virtue of being Rashfordised. We aren't that good a team to afford that luxury.

Attention is on him & should be on him. Glad that is happening, and I believe scrutiny should be on everyone but more so on Rashford & Bruno (Being the captain will have to come with extended accountability).
We all knew that his technique is limited & he's not tactical as well, but there's been zero growth in his play. Pull any clip of 2019 to 2022 & he's playing exactly the same, over 3 different types of managers.
There're three options now for the team & our club:
- Rashford magically learns how to look up while dribbling and be able to connect with his teammates.
- we get a sugardaddy who can somehow digest his 4 years, 90M contract ( see Ben Simmons )
- we slowly become a "top-ten" team.

Is this real? No wonder we have been crap. ETH put all his eggs in Bruno and Rashford hands, and it seems it has backfired miserably.
It seems to depend if he can be bothered. He scored about 3 goals two years ago but 30 last season. It looks like he’s on for a 3 goal season again it’s ridiculous
I don't think this far in to his career, it's possible.
When McTominay starts, people here usually say it's like playing with 10 men. While McTominay hides, with Rashford I feel it's even worse. He's where our attacks on the left just fizzle away. I hope the manager has the guts to drop him. I don't think we're not going to get anywhere, hoping he will play into his previous purple patch form; it was just that, a purple patch. Last year when he was having his best year ever, Salah was having a pretty shit season. I remember both having pretty much the same statistics in the end. That should tell us how far he's from an actual world-class player. if he wasn't an academy player, he wouldn't be rated this high by many in here. But this Tuesday night, he will probably do better (by that I mean not be completly shit) and the fanboys will be back, calling everyone haters.
Imagine the tantrum he would throw if dropped, in his mind he is world class.
He is barely a decent premier league player, we can never win the league with him, just not consistent and never will be.

Nope, he's like that selfish DIY kid in the schoolyard who thinks he can do it all himself. He's never grown out of it.
Also, he absolutely lacks football brains, composure and vision. Those 3 things cannot really be coached into a 26 year old with all his experience, if he hasn't developed those skills by now, there's not much hope for it to ever happen.
Nothing remarkable about that. Did he indicate any new or ongoing challenges in meeting his professional objectives?
Are we critiquing Rashford’s performances or trying to ostracize him?
I believe the conversation should focus on how he can contribute to the team or what can motivate him to perform at his best. Even if Rashford is underperforming, he can still have value to the team. It’s reasonable to want him to prove himself from the bench, but advocating for his departure doesn’t seem justified.
The goal should not be to remove talent from the club but to accumulate it. Rashford excels in his strengths, and that alone should secure his place at this club as one of the very best.

He’s basically the sunday league player who turns up in bright Mercurial Vapours / Ankle tape and and runs into blind alleys thinking he is 07/08 Ronaldo.
He's in bad form, but I think the criticism is somewhat overblown. Countless opposition players have said how difficult he is to play against. He has to start making better decisions soon, because he's got someone like Garnacho itching for his spot behind him.
We should have cashed in. I fear he will NEVER be worth what he was this summer. Football seems to be low on his list of priorities. The owners don't mind, all they care about is that the "Rashford" brand is affiliated with their Disneyland mentality that attracts cash whether we win or not. We need to strike the team and demonstrate to everyone involved, that they are only rich because of we fans.
There's a moment early in the Crystal Palace game that's almost IDENTICAL to the first video. Rahsford has the ball and can do the simple mindless but correct ball thru for Hojlund. He can also send Mount (I think) thru by passing a little further, which is a completely clear line of sight and ball, which would have been the best option creating a 1-1 with the keeper. He could also reverse it to the overlap.
With four CP players around him, what does he do instead? Ronaldo chops it away from goal and gets dispossessed. It's unacceptable.
Needs dropping for a bit
Exactly this. The truth, as usual, less somewhere between the two extremes.
I'm not in the sell Rashford camp but right now he brings very little to the team. He needs to be dropped.
He has very clear strengths and weaknesses and right now his strengths aren't showing in his play for whatever reason. This just leaves his weaknesses like poor hold play up and work rate, dribbling into 3 defenders, etc.
This
Well put, the Bruno and Rashford ride should be over after this season, we’ve gone as far as we can with them.
They occupy such important roles in this team that A) they fundamentally dictate how we play and B) implementing a new style with them will only make them and us play worse. See the Rangnick period (tbf he was a terrible appointment).
As you mention, Rashford’s stats aren’t even that great. He has a goal or assist every 127mins in his career for us, compared to Walcott who has a goal + assists every 124 mins in his Arsenal career.
I’m usually against stats being used to paint a whole picture but it’s not like Rashford provides anything else beyond his stats. His game is all based on final output. He doesn’t work hard for the team, isn’t a leader, doesn’t hold the ball up and bring others into play and has painfully low game intelligence.
Who popped up with 41 GA last season in an underperforming United team. A 24 year old Ronaldo, in the greatest Man Utd team probably of all time, only managed 38 in 08/09.
To be fair his head wasn't really at United that season.
Nothing really.
It was just basically his usual coached statements.
More to do with the timing of the interviews with Rashford than his words.
I have some weird ideas on what is best for him but everyone that understands football including the very best coaches, manager, pundits and including himself think it’s foolishness.
As usual I don’t expect much more than he is giving but that ability to exploit space is of use to us at any point in a game. All he will need to is be patient and his goals will return. It’s more of a situation for management to identify when it’ll be a waste of everyone’s time having him on the pitch and when to unleash him.
You want to draw a conclusion from a home win against a second string Crystal Palace in a cup match they desperately want to get out of?
In what other serious game have we created anything properly?
I don’t even like Rashford that much, I don’t think he deserved his contract and still think we should have sold him and get a proper player. But the Palace match EtH failed him by his tactics of having him isolated.
What does Rashford do:
1. Slide Hojlund in on goal.
2. Send Bruno in on goal, 1-v-1 against the GK
3. Ball over top for Pellestri wide open on the right
4. Reverse it to Mount on the left
5. Play it back safe to Amrabat or anyone else
6. Ronaldo-chop it straight into the defender and lose the ball
Almost every single time he makes not just the wrong decision but the very worst possible one a top footballer can possibly make.
He actively sabotages a large proportion of our play. Bench him and force him to improve. Right now his starting just validates it.
But ronaldo did hit 42 GOALS in 07/08. 42 without assist in PL and CL glory winning season. Add 7 assist it's 49 G/A in 49 games. Meaning either an assist or goal in every match he played in.
Matches Not in carabao or UEFA cup games.
