I hope I never see him wear United shirt again.
He thinks he is world class, but the only thing world class about him is the size of his ego. I am afraid we won't be able to get rid of him, however, because literally nobody, that he would join or can pay his stupid wages, wants him

If he were to go to PSG (which people keep bringing up as a possibility for whatever reason), he would be close enough to their best paid player if they were to simply offer him the same terms (numbers vary depending on sources, and none of the sources are official - of course).
And that is PSG - a state funded club with a history of paying silly wages.
He would - I'm pretty sure - be the top earner at Arsenal, for instance. His wages utterly dwarf those of the top earner at - oh, say - Forest, who are currently riding high in the PL. He would easily make almost twice what Newcastle's highest earner rakes in too...and so forth.
Anyway - he's on huge money. And that is obviously a problem.
Everyone said the same about Sancho before Chelsea snapped him up
Rashford hasn’t featured in the squad for a while now, apart from the Newcastle game—and even then, he was included only because Ugarte and Bruno were both suspended. Given this, it’s puzzling why some people believe Amorim would fabricate an illness to explain his absence. Believe it or not, players do catch colds from time to time. For instance, Havertz missed the Brentford match for the same reason—Arteta confirmed he had picked up a bug.
Would be an incredible coincidence and far from the first time Rashford has been 'ill'.
Considering everything that is going on, Amorim is unlikely to say anything negative about a player they're actively trying to move on in the next few weeks.
Since he such a honest and humble guy, admit that you’re not worthy of your stupid salary and take a cut. Strutting around in Manchester earning monster salary but liked by no one can’t be a life worth living.
Unsellable
Manchester has been horrible with it since late November. I never get ill and it’s battered me in December for weeks. Not the only person to say this exact line too!
Sancho was 23, mate. Rashford is knocking on 28. That makes huge difference. Cut price did, as well. And even with all that, I think we got lucky with Sancho.
The illness is a convenient excuse. Only made the match day panel the last day because Bruno, Ugarte was suspended and both now back.
I have a feeling he’ll stay ill until he secures a move in January.
Rashford appeared in a school to do that fateful interview with Henry Winter the day after missing training due to 'illness'.
It's been several days since this current 'illness' preventing him from being dropped again. Therefore, I expect this 'diehard red' to be in with the away fans at Anfield like Phil Jones would.

Looking at the team vs liverpool yesterday, I really think adding marcus would just bring the team down. Having him would not add anything in terms of an extra dimension or compensating our weakness up front.
At least yesterday we had 11 players fighting for 90 minutes, marcus is not a fighter, he would have just brought the tempo down.
Time to go

Probably. The good thing is that no sane United fan is against selling him anymore
This is a game he should play to be honest, feel like he normally does well against them for whatever reason and Maz needs a rest. I would be intrigued to see him at LWB at least once before he leaves, especially as Saka won't be playing. Will help whoever starts as CF out a lot to have the threat of an actual attacker coming from wide when we have the ball.
Rest Maz, put Dalot RWB and Rashford LWB
Ah yes... let's put the least hardest working player in the team in a position where he needs to run up and down the field for 90mins.
Surely if he plays now he will make a point of grafting. At least you'd hope so.
Its incredible what this guy did to waste his talent. The fight we've seen in the last two games really highlighted how far away he is from delivering anything even close to it.I don't want to hear about some back injury or other excuse - the whole United team has at times been guilty of complacency, half assing it and poor attitudes and for much of the last 4-5 years its felt more and more that Rashford is a terrible presence and was in real danger of being led astray - by temptations, or by who he surrounded himself with, who knows. But even as far back as Mourinho there was these little hints at him being weak and stories drip fed about where he wanted to play etc. Himself and Lingard and their stupid 0.12% post or whatever it was. He never seemd to just want to knuckle down and prove himself, even the season he scored plenty, he was dropped for missing a meeting.
It's just so obvious that he lost his hunger for achieving anything as a player, when you look at younger guys and some less talented players today - okay not the best players, like Malacia, Collyer to name 2, and the hunger and fight and energy they showed. It became physcially painful to watch rashford play - some of the clips of him 'pressing', especially when Barkley walked by him recently, are actually disgraceful.
Its a weird situation - I want him gone and cant wait until he's gone, the same player I absolutely loved bursting onto the scene. People mightn't like it but he became a sterotypical waster of a footballer, all bling and clubs and absolutely no ambition.

Based on where he was sitting last night, I think he was there in his personal capacity rather than a squad member. ( Not matchday squad - full first team squad.) So he had chosen to go and watch the match.
I would love to know what he was thinking. " Gosh I've messed up." or "It was good for many years but, yea, I'm going to bigger and better things."

To be honest, I doubt he was thinking either of those things.
Rashford wants to leave but he will not accept a lower wage. Either United pays him off for the remaining contract, or he will chill until his contract expires. Lingard, Sancho, and Rashford belong to the same generation of players. They play well enough to earn their big fat contract and they start putting in less effort. In their contract year, they start playing well so United offers a new contract or another stupid club willing to pay a sign-on fee and wage when they sign for free. United should stop paying high wages for any player, incentives should be based on performance. I hope I don't see a repeat of Lingard and Rashford situation in United anymore.
I think Ineos have already implemented that.
I wonder how many of the footballers that 'stay for the wage' regret it when they retire. At his age, Rashford will literally never again be as physically able as he is today. And he's choosing to forego any potential footballing achievements for what, $100k a week, when he already makes tens of millions a year? It baffles me, it really does.
We obviously don't know, but if the option is stay and rot at United on $200k a week or go to another club and be the main starter at $100k, get a chance to get back playing for England and enjoying your football, it really speaks to mindset. When Rashford retires at 31 or whatever, will he really look back and say: sure am glad I now have $32m instead of $30m, and skipped the potential best 18 months of my career. It really is life changing.

One of the biggest footballing wasters in history. Unbelievable what he has become - just to think of it, his boyhood team is in a shitty situation, a new talented manager comes in to improve and he still can't be arsed to train decently whilst collecting a huge paycheck. This is so poor he should be kicked out
How can he feel good about himself when his boss is saying he'd rather pick a 63 year old ahead of him? Any decent person would kick themselves into action and put in some effort, but not Rashford. It's pathetic
I’m glad that Ruben has said the training is an issue. Clears up any murmurs that he should be back in the team, if he doesn’t want to work hard then he shouldn’t play. Instagram posts and turning up to the ground look great but after his interview he needs to work harder than everyone else to win back trust.
Like others have said, I admire his off-field work but as a professional, he is a disgrace. There is a saying "to whom much is given, much is expected". This bloke has been at the club since he was 8 and is from Wythenshawe ffs! He has been made the face of the club and given £350k a week. This is what young boys dream about.
This bloke should be Mr Manchester United. He is supposed to wear the badge like his life depends on it, nobody in that club should know what it means to play for Manchester United than Rashford. For him to now be the unprofessional and lazy player is tough to take. He's a disgrace. He should retire. I would take £10m for him.

His only hope is to outlast Amorim. No bloody thank you Rashford. That is the last thing anyone who cares about United want.
It's why I'm generally in favour of all our youth going out on loan to the championship or elsewhere, you have to humble them and make them work for it early. Straight into the united first team is too easy a path and there's few who have the character to remain grounded.
Unfortunately, that's what Woodward and co. thought, too. And if he insists on being paid his wages in full, wherever he goes, 10-20 million would probably be the best we can fetch for him. It's also why it doesn't really matter what Amorim says in his pressers.
Problem is that as soon as they break into the first team and have a positive impact we reward them with a fat new contract. I agree they should go out on loan and build some character first.
I remember lots of people saying this a while back about Rashford and being shut down that they were making it up and they couldn’t possibly know how he trained, what he was like etc. how the off field partying, plastering over social media was a bad thing.
Amorim has come in and exposed him within three months…..
Loved the lad and was always willing to turn a blind eye to his antics, but his time is up.
Amorim has dragged him out to the back of the shed and capped one into Rashfords head there, absolutely brutal!
I don’t like airing of dirty laundry in public, but this isn’t the first manager to have an issue with Rashford.
Clearly Amorim expects him to be breaking every sweat possible to be considered for selection and Rashford thinks he has nothing to prove and is simply just there.
The club can’t afford to back Rashford this time and desperately need to cut ties, but I’m not convinced Amorim’s approach helps with making that happen, though I completely back the divorce.

Wondering just how bad it is in training for these comments to be made.
Brutal comments, but not at all surprising. It's clear that Amorim will let you back in if you train well. He's done that with Garnacho.
Getting rid of Rashford is next to impossible. The last extension was a huge mistake, but it did seem like a good idea at the time. It's sad, because he clearly has a lot of talent. He just doesn't seem to have the mentality to keep his efforts level high. Amorim saying that in public is probably not a good thing when we're trying to sell him, though. Telling potential buyers that he doesn't give effort in training is not going to encourage anybody to take him.
