He's 27 now, and hasn't produced anything for over two years worth over 30m to any club. I think we should just suck it up and take whatever we can get now, we'll be better for it.

He barely kept up with the fullback when chasing a ball down.
Unfortunately I don't think we are going to sell him either way.. all that academy player and Manchester kid bullshit is the issue for that, imo.
I wonder if there's any chance Saudi would have him
there's clearly no way PSG or anyone else with enough money to pay his wages is gonna buy him

I think he's more like Rocky 5 at this point, sadly
I hope he isn't hanging around with Tommy Gunn
Yes although I highly doubt he wants to move to Saudi. He is comfortable enough with the fat paychecks at United.
People thinking Amorin is going to drop him based on performance/form are kidding themselves. He'll play as much as he has under any other manager for as long as he's the highest earner in the squad. He's going nowhere.
Perhaps that’s what he was doing in the US last week - could honestly see him leaving in January if one of their clubs can generate a decent amount, though United might be happy for him to go for nothing if he waives most of the value of the rest of his remaining 3 years of his contract.
He’s scored a lot of goals at the top level of football, so fair play to him, but he’s become a caricature of an American athlete off the pitch, and now lacks the humility that initially allowed him to maximise his average talent.
Motivation. I, foolishly, thought he'd had a point to prove I was clearly wrong. He doesn't give a feck, he's done.
That is bs.
Amorim doesn't care what Rashford it paid. He wasn't the one that gave him that contract.
I think Amorim green lights a sale at the soonest oportunity. He doesnt fit into the Amorim system. Cant hold up the ball, cant press, no stamina and has next do no football intelligence.
Again, people said this with ETH. Shock horror he played most weeks. Amorin is just another manager who's going to have to put up with him until he's sold, which I don't see happening given his wages. He'll feature in the vast majority of games this season.
There is a big difference. ETH employed wide players in his 433, so Rashford was at least suited to a position in that team. He played great in the 22/23 season from that wide left position, so there was hope he could somehow find that form again.
Amorim wants to play two 10s, that do drift wide at times, but need to be far more technical and work their arses off in the press. Pedro Goncalves played there for Sporting. The difference in technical quality and applications between those two players is vast.
Nor is he a number 9, because he cant hold up the ball.
I think Mount takes that second 10 position and Hojlund plays 9 when fit. Maybe even Garnacho in that 10, although he needs to improve massibly.
So where does Rashford play under Amorim? He is surplus to requirements, especially when Amorim starts to bring in forwards.
I do agree though, he will be hard to shift, but if his performances are crap and he doesnt fit the system, then what he is paid is irrelevant. We saw ETH put Sancho with the under 18s, despite being on 300k+ a week!
Best we can hope for is a bit of decent form and we sell him to a club with more money than brains.
Stick a fork in him I think.
That back injury he had has diminished him so much athletically.
And he's just not doing enough on the field at the moment.

Saw on one of the YouTube channels (so grain of salt needed) that he had to be reminded by Amorim to applaud the away fans. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Yep. His body cannot sustain top level football anymore, and Rashford knows it. ETH and Ruud and now Amorim have all taken him off early.
I call him retiring at 30/31. Sad as he was electric in his early prime.
I think that back injury in 2020 completely fecked him. People predicted it way back then and it’s come to fruition.
For those moaning why Rashford is receiving more criticism than others, it is because he's been beyond dreadful for 3 of the last 4 seasons now. No single high goalscoring season is enough to defend how bad he is on the pitch.
Rashford has always been poor as a striker and I hope this has now confirmed to Amorim that Rasmus offers more with pressing. Therefore, the only other position for him would be the left-wing back, yet he can't track back.
There is only one place for him then, the bench and hopefully, a new club sooner rather than later!
It's laughable when fans are saying they would sell Rashford, but only for £50-80m. Are you that oblivious? Barely any club would pay good money for him, and even if they could, they couldn't afford his ludacrius salary.
Let him move for free and save the salary. Playing with 11 men instead of carrying him every game would give us a chance of playing well again.

If he doesn’t sort it out come the summer the club has to put him up for sale. Looks like he’d lost his love for it, simply as that.
Time for a move to Saudi or the MLS.

Exactly.
- He’s been here for long enough for any benefit of doubt to evaporate
- He’s among the league’s highest earners
- He’s rubbish off the ball
- He’s really poor at linking up
- And he doesn’t have the end product to make up for the above
Dude's washed up. Was in strong favour of selling him when there were rumours of PSG's interest before ETH joined and he has done nothing since then to convince me otherwise. Scored some goals during a purple patch in ETH's first season which is now looking more and more like he was playing for a contract.
Also he definitely lost his pace which makes him even less effective. I mean how can you lose a foot race against a 33-year old Morsy who is playing in a top flight league for the first time in his career and you are supposed to be in your prime? No longer worth persisting. Take whatever we can get for him to be sold (it will all be pure profit anyways for FFP purposes) and send a message that we are serious about rebuilding.

The one thing i disagree with other fans is that he didnt press yesterday - im not saying he can but ultimately the whole team was sitting back and not pressing as under instruction.
I refuse to believe he got knackered after 20 mins. He is a massive muscular lad with tattoos and all that. Proper hard men stuff.
His heart is not in it anymore. Even a new, most exciting coach doesn't excite him.

He wasn't that good, neither was he that bad. In all honesty.
He got a goal, could of had an assist should of been played in a few times when he was in good positions.
Is he the long term solution at CF? Probably not he is our best chance of actually scoring goals regularly from that position right now. Yes undoubtedly, if we can feed him enough he will score goals at this level he has proven that in the past.

Showed good acceleration when running through for goal and during Garnacho break. His off the ball press was so lethargic. Amorim specifically called out his player’s failure to press Ipswich’s number 5, Morsy. Not sure if it was Bruno and/or Marcus at fault for this.
Hopefully Amorim wont be as patient with him as ETH was.
Should be sold and I dont think he'll achieve anything better elsewhere.

Leopard and spots and all that.
I hope even if he cons Amorim in the short term, INEOS have seen enough

Exactly. I think it has nothing to do with fitness or injuries. He just doesn't give a feck any more.
He could have passed it easily a few moments earlier as you say. That was my point. Garnacho did not pass in this moment as he wanted to score himself. In the end he recognized that he won’t finish it and tried to pass when the defender was already there to intercept. That’s the biggest problem with him - he has no feeling right now for the right decisions. Hopefully that will come.
If he passes at the right time it’s 1-2 and rashford would have had both goals.
He looks finished as a top level pro footballer, which is nothing new or surprising as it happens to quite a few players. Time to move on at the end of the season.
Although, his overall play wasn’t good but he did what he needed to as a striker, which is scoring goal. We just didn’t deliver any services to the box and when we did once, Rashford buried the ball in the back of the net.
I just hope he doesn’t take long figuring out Marcus’ heart isn’t in it. Hojlund is miles off being a finished article but he should be playing centre forward every game he’s fit.
Yeah agreed. Club needs to start putting the sounders out.
He'll retire early I imagine or go to Saudi.
He hasn't got the love for the game now.
He hasn't got the love for the game now.
if he hasn't got love for the game, why on earth are we tolerating it as fans and as a club?
Anyone can see from the past 20 months that he has completely gone away as a player. I'm utterly sick of seeing him start let alone in the squad. We are wasting our time watching Man Utd hoping Amorim will change us if he continues in the team. It's like playing with 10 men.
Can Beckham do us a favour and bring him over to the MLS? He'd love it there, and we'd be rid of his ridiculous contract.
Rubbish.
You can have injuries and lose fitness and then because of that you have less love for the game.
Millions of people go through injuries and pain and feel less love of living a normal life as a simple example from the NHS.
I still see people putting Rashford in their starting XI in the match day thread vs Bodø/Glimt. I can't wait for the day hes not in the club anymore. Danny Welbeck was and still is better. Both academy graduates. One was sold too early, the other not early enough.
To be honest, who gives a shit why he’s not good enough? Couldn’t care less if it’s injuries or loss of love for the game. Get rid.
His current input should be easily replaced by even the most inept scouts. Anyone at this point worried about replacing this current version of Rashford shouldn’t be. He looks kaput sadly.
I know the whole “body language expert” thing has basically become a meme at this point, but damn you only need to watch this guy for a game to know something is terribly wrong.
People say Rashford doesn't care or doesn't work hard but in sport there is such as burnout. When I watch rashford closely I see a guy frustrated banging his hands against the floor when calls go against him and the team or missing chances.I see a player whose body can no longer keep up with what his mind wants to do That's not the sign of a player not caring. I know people have made up their minds about him not being good enough, that's ok he's been here for a good x amount of years and has had his purple patches and has had more periods of bad spells than good spells, since then so maybe if he doesn't improve his consistency levels then move him on.
But the toxicity and abuse directed towards him calling him toxic, lazy and a virus and crap like ''leopards can't change their spots' as if he's some snake I can't understand. . Ole overplayed him through serious back injuries, the same thing happened to Martial and as a result they could no longer consistently produce top performances, only in flashes of brilliance here and there, because their bodies had broken down. I argue these players are the victims of mismanagement and bad coaching, had we kept Ten Hag Garnacho would follow in the same footsteps getting burnt out and not actually coached to be an all round player who doesn't rely on pace and one trick moves
Rashford one of our academy players should be given more respect, ok he had a night out drinking last seaason which he's been demonised for and used as an argument that he's toxic and runs the club because ten hag decided not to treat him the same way he did sancho even though rashford apologised to the manager. But ask yourselves do you honestly believe players at City, Liverpool this doesn't happen? You think we're the only top club where players turn up late for training? Do you think Giggs, Roy Keane, G.Neville never had nights out getting piss drunk down the pub once in a while during the season under Fergie? Now social media blows things out of proportion and was public execution of players who they know will drive clicks and agenda driven merchants to offload their vitriol on. And of course because Fergie was a successful disciplinarian who ruled with an iron fist, people think modern players should behave as those in Fergies era which was nearly over 10 years ago before social media was a big time thing.
As a result our fanbase has fallen victim to this mindset willing to bash and denigrate our own players who we are suppose to support. Obviously support doesn't mean not to criticise, but to exaggerate and paint someone's character in a different light as to what actually is reality, through spoon fed agenda driven perception on social media is not actually criticism, it's personal character assassination.
