Maybe his rubbish football can be blamed on one of his various injuries again?

Utd must stop handing out ridiculous contracts
How long has he been at the club? What has he been doing in every training since then? The man has zero technique.
He's not dumb I think. Although not exactly smart.
He's just lazy and selfish.
He kept on doing that one thing he does best, even at the cost of possession and the team because he desperately need that to buy him some time.
He could have run more and become a team player, but he's too lazy and maybe feeling too entitled believing his own hype thinking this is just a bad run of form.
So... He ended up doing that stupid trick again and again and again and hoping one of them work and he can shout STFU to everyone, at least for the next 5-10 match
Mr. Manchester United that him

How much longer will Erik accept this level of performance from him. The trouble is there is a lack of quality replacement options. Garnacho looks quality when coming off bench but doesn't look the same when starting games.
When is the last time we didn’t have an untouchable player? For as shit of a run as it’s been post SAF, the amount of untouchable players is Embarassing. You’d think Rashford and Bruno were multiple time UCL winners with numerous achievements other than putting up some nice stats on some decent teams
Why not start Martial for him. He might not be a lot more hardworking than Rashford but his ball control, holding and distribution are still better than Rashford. Currently Rashford has neither of that and becoming a liability. We can sub Garnacho in second half to change the approach when opposition is tired. I believe that is better than persisting with an out of form Rashford.
His fortunes have to change, he is in a massive rut, but a player of his quality generally can turns things around with just a goal or two to regain some confidence.
I think the most recent excuse was that him and his girlfriend are having relationship problems
So easy to play against. Every game you see two defenders stand him up on the edge of the box and he just runs straight into one of them. It's madness neither him nor the coaching staff have done anything about that.
For trying hehe
I’m hoping PSG come calling and take him off us.
I said this to my friends after last season. It would have been the perfect time to extend his contract but get rid and get maximum value for him, I was laughed at.
The guy is simply not clinical and consistent enough to build a team around, same goes for Bruno.
That's the real frustration with him. He shows flashes of what he can do but he's mainly average or poor.
He will never be dropped though so it doesn't matter what we think
I sort of laughed at the idea that he would revert to not looking arsed after getting his new contract, but Christ he's doing his best to make it seem so.
We really can't keep going through this with him. If you want the highest wages and the biggest status you've got to consistently deliver and Rashford just isn't capable, for whatever reason. I have no doubt he'll improve once Shaw and Martinez are back, but your best players are the ones you look to when you're in a hole. Major concerns with him now.

It's a weird mix. He got really high self-confidence from his streak last year, so he's now convinced at times that he's Mbappe and can dribble past 4 men packed. Confidence isn't a bad thing, but I'd hope he took on defenders when the odds were just better. We'd get much more out of recycling the ball than him trying to take on 3-4 defenders. Just mix it pu at least and get to the backline and cross it to Højlund some more.
Also he suffers from Ten Hag's slowball/picking of McTominay/Amrabat instead of Eriksen/Mount. If we actually played quick football it wouldn't be 3-4 men he had to dribble but maybe two, which he probably could do.

Considering how shot his confidence is you'd think he'd stop trying to dribble past 10 players every time he has it.
The problem is he over dribbles and almost always gets it stuck under his feet.
I also want to know when it was that he last beat a man without messing up the play anyway. Genuinely.

His problem is that he can't mix it up. He needs to run at defenders to be effective and when teams defend deep against us, he doesn't have the close control to go past players in tight spaces. He also isn't a wide play-maker so he becomes pointless when he isn't scoring. If it's not happening for you in front of goal, make sure you hold the width, link-up and create for others which he is incapable of doing. Antony is the opposite, he is tactically good and very important for us off the ball but has no end product. We should find a way to mix them together and we'd have a WC winger.
It’s a puzzle for sure. Maybe last season was a purple patch. Maybe he’s not as good as we all had hoped he would become.
but it’s just the lack of effort at times, playing at a pace that just kills our attacks. He should be told to study Sterling
He's offering absolutely nothing. Its mind blowing how hes still playing every match and how he's never substituted.
Slowing down our attack, completely predictable, bad touches, bad decisions. The difference is night and day when Garnacho comes on.

The gulf in quality, effort and output between him and the really top players who play the same position is so incredibly depressing.
Of even the likes of Ollie Watkins…

I stand by what I said in my thread about the likes of Saint Maximin, Bowen etc being better than him because they don't have such lows like Rashford. He's always been a purple patch player, I keep saying this and people didn't want to hear it.
Hopefully everyone recognises this now and don't claim him to be the best thing going the next time he hits some form. This constant praise and huge wages from the club, before they were warranted, have created this player. We were so desperate for our next saviour that we put him on a pedestal, and now he thinks he's made it (well, he has now in terms of money).

Wishful thinking
It wouldn’t be his first ‘purple patch’ though. He’s had others. He scored 20 goals under Solskjaer for instance and had another good spell the following season. B it he’s someone who can go from a 20 goal to a 5 goal player and back to 20 again from season to season. He can do it in the biggest of moments, in the biggest of games against the best opposition. He’s done that for years. But the fluctuation is massive. Based on last season alone, there is no reason why we should be getting this just a few months later. Him in his last season form would be such a huge benefit to the side at the moment which is struggling so badly in attack.
You had me until Saint Maximin…
In terrible form, but still offering more than Antony, IMO.
In terms of attacking yep. But just about
Antony offers more going the other way and close to nothing going forward
God I miss the 90's. Sharpie, Kanchelskis, giggsy, becks. feck me we were spoilt weren't we? Any now we have him and Antony on the wings. sigh.
It must be mental block because we all can see the talent in flashes. He should not be automatic choice for first team at the moment.
When and why did he become so wasteful??? And undroppable by the managers?
The 85% were always right that we should have moved on.
If he's not doing it regularly at 26 then he never will, and even if he miraculously turns a corner, what is he going to be like at 29 or 30 when he loses a yard of pace?
Without pace he has nothing that stands out, as seen when he plays CF. he is a CB's dream opponent. Physically weak, slow off the mark, lacking work rate and any ingenuity. On the left, every opposition manager has worked out he's completely neutered unless you allow him space to run in behind. This is evident in every game where he receives the ball, stands still for two or three seconds before passing it backwards or sideways. I think most United fans can see this now, as there was an audible groan at OT last night in the second half when he did this for the umpteenth time.
Over his career he's scored an average of 11 to 12 per 38 game season in the PL. Although he's only scored 1 so far, it's not inconceivable with a couple of his trademark purple patches that he could still reach that amount this season and it would be an "average" Rashford season.
No doubt under Ten Hag's "tin Galactico" era he'll be given plenty of opportunities to keep wasting shots at a rate of 33 per goal in the PL as has been the case so far this season.
I can't really blame Rashford anymore to some degree, (afaik) he doesn't pick himself. His constant inclusion speaks volumes about the lack of standards at the club, and the desperation to promote a false image that this is still the same club that it was a decade ago.

He was an example at the time of a winger who, whilst never hitting the goalscoring highs of Rashford, was generally always a thorn in the side of the opponent. Same for Bowen and others. The issue with ASM is that he had injuries, fell out of favour with Howe and took the Saudi money, so it is a hard sell, in hindsight, on my part. But my overall point stands. Liverpool have a handful of wingers who don't score as many as Rashford, but who are better in my eyes because they are more consistent with what they do and their ability to play for the team. Basically, consistent 7 or 8 out of 10 performances is better than Rashford's 4 or 5 out of 10 performances for long stretches (sometimes over a year) followed by a few months of 9/10. This is why I said during the PSG links that I'd take the money and run. I also think his attitude is atrocious, but nobody could recognise it.
No where near those guys obviously. Last night after that awful touch I was thinking I'd even take Jesper Blomqvist on the left over this current incarnation of Rashford. I seem to remember he always done a good job when standing in got the injured often injured Giggs.
Very annoying player. Back to the form he had when majority of the forum wanted him sold.
I just miss a winger who's able to fecking cross the ball, a pure winger.
Wouldn't get into Arsenal, City or Liverpool's starting 11, but is undroppable in ours..
There's not many of them round these days, to be fair.
What’s the chances of a playing earning like £300K a week being a bench player?
We’ve dug ourselves in such a massive hole with Rashford, no top team will ever seriously be interested in him especially after this season, no mid table side will be able to afford his wages and we have a manager to gutless to drop him so are to expect this sort of performance levels from him for every season for the next five years? Sure he might hit a purple patch but we all know he’ll eventually revert back to what he currently is.
