So glad to finally see the worst players getting hauled off early. It sends a very clear message to everyone. I reckon he’s the hill the last few managers have died on. Anyone who actually watches us can see our play attacking and defensive setup suffers badly when he plays. Good teams clean Rashford and double up on his full back and it’s been going on for years.

Think it is best he is moved on. Not sure what is wrong. very poor and looks miserable.

That being said, I do not condone the abuse hurled at players.
 
This makes him sound like a 33 year old veteran still finding his way in the modern game.


For context Welbeck is outperforming him. Simply by having good fundamentals while selectively applying his natural speed given his age and injury history.

Think this has kind of always been Rashford's problem, he doesn't even do the basics right.
 
I don't "hate" the guy, after all, like everybody(?) on here I've never met or had a conversation with him but I've detested seeing him in the team for a long time now.
I make my judgements by what I see players do on the pitch and that's where my opinions are (mostly) formed.
Of course, moving him on is easier said than done with that outrageous contract in his back pocket.
Abject upper management decision making yet again.
 
Thankfully I don't see an obvious place for him in Amorim's likely setup, so I imagine he'll finally be moved on, which is best for both him and us.
 
If he was at Chelsea he would be training with the development squad. Is there anyone from the u18/u21s who is ready for minutes wide on the left so Garnacho gets some rest?
 
There is no way he fits into the Amorim system. He will be taken off in the first 20 mins given his work rate.

Exactly. The likes of West Ham and Wolves can get away with wildcards who might be very inconsistent but can produce magic because they don't expect to control the game or the ball.

You can't keep possession or build attacks with these players though. It simply doesn't work, you have to be able to pass, move and control the ball consistently well in a top team
 
I don't care if this annoys people - but for most of the last 18 months he's been worse than Antony.
 
Nothing against him as a human being, but as a player he's simply not the level United should be aiming towards. He wouldn't make it in a Madrid, Barca or Bayern team, so why should we tolerate his level of performances for United, if the goal is to get back to the top? As a player, he's not going to get you back to the heights you need to reach.

For me, he's past it and not getting better, only going to decline from here, so better to cash in now and let PSG take him for a stupid fee. I just can't see Amorim picking him for the starting 11 based on the way he likes to play.
 
I feel in the last 3 years he had maybe 2 or 3 good complete games.
He is usually terrible but scoring a goal puts a patch on his overall game.

He'll cause Amorim more trouble than help, we really should move him on.
 
Only role I can see for him under Amorim's system is as a 9. A rotation option. Wouldn't be the worst thing I suppose. He's gone as a provider or a winger who can beat a fullback.
 
One the last manager wasn't able to make. I still believe he is protected within the club and will stop believing this when I see something that points to the contrary. Like being dropped, and I don't mean one game, or sold.
He's not protected he was just either one of the managers favourites or one of the better performers.

Also the hate towards our players goes too far Nachos non-celebration should show people how the players feel about it right now....

The atmosphere around the club is much better can the fans come along too? and take a day off...
 
My worry is that his influence and brand could damage Amorim before he has any real authority at the club.

The likes of him and Shaw need to go. Old heads of the table in a dressing room that has lacked the right mentality for a long time. Amorim won’t be successful unless that influence is removed.

The likes of Bruno and Maguire will always work their socks off, even in crazy systems and under difficult personalities, but Rashford has shown that he isn’t prepared to do that and his influence/role at the club is way too big for the standard of player that he is.

It’s time to go and I hope he can rediscover some semblance of form and career elsewhere, but it can’t be here.
 
Im baffled why he is keep getting picked after numerous performances like that.
Not sure in what he contributes. At the very basics there is work rate required and that also missing. He seems to be also not sync/lost when we press (lack of work rate could be part of it). Worst part of this is we are stuck with for next years and because of that i hope Amorim can utilize him somehow.

of course he was in the past, Ole having to apologise for saying concentrate on his football shown that

EtH showed Marcus can be dealt with, even if it was too late. Bruno is the one with the personality and influence to make things awkward.
 
Indefensible. He looks like a stranger in a team where his age and pay says he should be a leader.
 
The fact that he knows his new manager will be watching and he goes out again and just strolls around like an abject teenager who’s afraid of his own shadow - well, that tells us all what we knew already.

He’s lost his fight. And there should be no place for him going forward. Sadly, he’ll be hanging around for years to come.

Yeah that’s insane when you think about it. Everyone else on the field was busting a gut like you wouldn’t believe. Haven’t seen Casemiro run like that for years. And he’s just the same ….

You're giving him too much credit. This is the guy who just ran to the papers to let them know the new England manager told him that he thinks they'd have won the Euros with him in the side. He sees nothing wrong with his game. Like with England, it's just a matter of time before someone comes to their senses and gets him back in the team. Similarly, I don't think it has ever crossed his mind for a second since the announcement of the new manager that he has anything to prove or anyone to impress.

Bruno still works incredibly hard and is a really good footballer, the same can’t be said for Marcus unfortunately.
 
Only role I can see for him under Amorim's system is as a 9. A rotation option. Wouldn't be the worst thing I suppose. He's gone as a provider or a winger who can beat a fullback.
Maybe could see that scenario working if we had Zirkzee in the lineup or someone else who can hold onto the ball and simply have Rashford be the one making runs in behind, but I can't see that being an effective set up bar maybe 5-10 games a season.
 
I think a United academy graduate and a player who has been at the club since age 9 or so, having the kind of attitude he does on the pitch is a disgrace. It’s almost too painful. He should be Mr Manchester United.
He’s from Whythenshawe ffs!

Yeah I think so too. Amorim's inverted wingers seem to spend a lot of time between the lines as floating 10's/half wingers so much more suited to Amad which the play on the shoulder guy is the striker. Given the struggles of Hojlund, Zirkzee not suiting that role... Rashford could make it his own if he gets his head out of his ass. Long shot but I wouldn't rule it out.
 
Maybe he's still upset about his bird
More likely to be that having the fanbase of your boyhood club and the club you play for constantly on your neck regardless, has taken it's toll... He's in shite form that is clear but Nacho made a valid point about the fans getting onto them with his non-celebration and it's not hard to see how and why it affects them all to different degrees...

Yeah agree. That'd be his role I think. Just concentrate on getting in behind. He has lost pace and agility but would still do most CB's.

That's all very soft and it just shows that he isn't cut out for it mentally.

Ah yes, it's the fans' fault he's been shit for almost two years now.

We have probably one of the most forgiving fanbases among the big clubs in football. There'd be an international shortage of white hankies if him or Garnacho were getting games for Madrid.

He hasn't got the mentality to play for a big club if he's being impacted by online fans, yeha some of our online fans can be terrible but it's no different than any other big club, just go look at what some Madrid fans are saying under Mbappe's Instagram posts recently. I say online as our match day fans are supportive majority of the time. He's not a kid like Garnacho now, he should be in his prime both physically and mentally.

Yeah there's no major reason he couldn't be the experienced No.9 at the club. He has the basic tools Would save us a lot of money.

But can he get his head in the game.

I've always said distance covered in a game isn't his problem. Calling him lazy has actually become quite lazy analysis.

I think due to poor attitude he's just lost his game, become confused at to what he is. A lessening of his physical attributes has contributed to that but where has the player running in behind gone? That was his thing at one point.
