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.
Whilst everything you state here is completely true and rational, it will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes to the 'fanbase' that have moved their scapegoat from Maguire and McT to Rashford.
 
Switch Delap for Rashford and we win the game yesterday easily. Such a great player who can press, hold up play and run with the ball. Absolutely mental, Onana robbed him for two goals yesterday, but future star striker in the league.

Rashy on the other hand is like Sterling washed out player who started career early and quickly famous to down his tools when things not going his way. Amorim hopefully seen that and wont give him many more chances. We could as well just promote someone from the youth if players are lazy.
 
Further confirmation Rashford isn't a natural CF.

Unless he finds form and reinvents himself I can't see him fit into Amorim's 3-4-3 system.
 
I just can't be arsed talking about him anymore. Will he perform? Won't he perform? Did injuries ruin him? Does he have personal issues? Is he a LW or a CF? I just don't give a feck.

He hasn't performed for 3 and half seasons out of the last 4, just bin him and move on.
 
Every single game he continues to confirm why I detest seeing this imposter in a united shirt.
Looking forward to reading the news that Amorim has got the metaphorical dagger out and told him simply that he's not part of his future plans so he's welcome to look for another club.
If nobody wants him, tough, stay on the bench like a few others until their contracts expire.
I'd rather have a few young lads busting a gut on the pitch in Amorim's system than watch the likes of him any more.

What scapegoating?? The fans have tried to believe that he will return to his purple patch form he had 2 seasons ago, but it has been the same effort and form for about 2 years now. What we saw yesterday is what is sadly, for him and us, what we get from Rashford. I used to think he will turn it around, but nothing he does on the field anymore gives me belief or hope that he will turn it around. And I don't understand what other fans who still believe see that he will turn it around.

Edit: some of the criticism and comments about Rashford in here are over the top, I agree. But doesn't mean it's wrong. Rashford has done nothing in about 2 years that has him deserve any kind of praise(on the field).

shouldn’t this say, ‘as if he’s some kind of jungle cat trying and failing to get plastic surgery’?
 
Thought he had a decent enough game. Lots of good runs that weren’t found. Ideally would have been more involved on the ball but that seemed to be more a problem with our midfield than him. Nice poacher’s goal.

I think Amorim will probably have been fairly pleased with him but will be taking the midfielders aside to work on their through balls. It’s been a consistent problem all season and this system does require the 10s/midfielders to be playing those passes through to the striker.

Start him again upfront in Europe. He only played 60 minutes and, if Amorim feels he’s best suited to play as the 9, he needs a few games regularly playing there.

Also thought he was fine yesterday when involved with the ball. His lack of effort against the ball was still eye catching.

Will be interesting to see how his situation develops until end of the season.
For me still the most proven goalscorer we could field in the nr. 9 Position.
 
Pleased to see the goal hasn't pulled to wool over anybody's eyes as to how bad he was yesterday. Absolutely awful performance.

Amorim will hopefully soon realise Rashford is living off pure reputation and offers nothing for any club hoping to improve and challenge for titles.
 
Of all the shite out there today he shouldn't be at the top of the forum - but he is

Sad to see. Shite fans.
Yep

Just sell him. He’s just not good enough.
That's right, give us an even harder job..... The guy scored, nobody else did. This results in a (some might say underserved) point but people still gonna ride him regardless

Delap is better than all our strikers........ Redcafe everyone.
 
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.
I just think he didn't pass in that moment because he wasn't confident in the passing angle with his left foot in the moment of balance he was in. Going closer and then passing makes the pass a lot easier.

Rashford never apologised to the fans for what he did. Should he? Absolutely, because without the United fanbase, he and the club are nothing.

I've had no respect for the guy ever since and I actually find myself resenting him for even being on the pitch when he is such a waste of space.
 
Points to his head like some mentality monster.

Yes, very weird. I still don't know what that is supposed to mean.

He will either reinvent himself as a striker or he won't be of any use. Either way, this conundrum will eventually resolve itself.

Of course you think that because you always do. He could shit on your doorstep and you would rate it at least a six out of ten performance. People who care more about united than ANY Players realized years ago his performances don't match his reputation.

:lol: you want a footballer to apologise to the fans for having a night out? And do you think Rashford is the first player to have nights out drinking during the season? You'd think Rashford run a fan over by the way you sound. He's not the prime minister, he's a relatively young player who has a life outside football. It was unprofessional and he apologised to the manager. The fact you hold a deep resentment for such a minor thing, just reinforces my initial post.

Did you demand an apology from Garnacho, when he was liking posts on twitter undermining the manager?

Do you hate Rio Ferdinand because he admitted during the season he would spend days drinking?

Rio '' “When I was young, I was crazy, I could spend all day drinking. I could drink 10 pints and then switch to vodka. [Before Arsenal] I had had three brandies with co in the players' lounge. Then the kit man came and said: 'Rio, you've got to get changed' - and I had a brandy and coke in my hand.''

Rashford lied about being ill and missed a match due to his drinking binge. He put his own partying ahead of the club. In most industries, he would be sacked for such conduct.

If Garnacho and Rio still turned up for training and a match the next day, then they already a better professional than Rashford.

My resentment is built up due to Rashford being a poor footballer, yet he continues to be picked and excuses are made by himself and for him. He's 27yo and by no means a "young player" anymore. He should be leading an example at the club, yet he is either too lazy or too entitled to think he has to work hard on the pitch and close the opposition down, rather than these token closing-down jogs which is fooling nobody.

He is extremly entitled but that is not only his fault. The media the fans his entourage made him think he is something he is clearly not. he is treated this way since he is a teenager...as much I dislike to see this I cant say I wouldnt be the same if I was in his position.

Oh nooess he lied about being ill, something which happens in every work place up every day up and down country. I've given you plenty of examples, past and present of players who've gone out partying drinking during the season or acted unprofessionally. These players like I said actually have lives outside football, you must be new to game if finding out a player missed training because they were hangover is such a big drama for you

After the binge, he made himself available but ten hag told him to stay home as punishment and was fined. The end. Paul Scholes once refused to play a game of football, because he didn't want to come on as a sub. There wasn't any social media during those days.

As far as Rashford being a poor player is that's why he's our second top scorer this season with 10 starts, 5goals and 3 assists? Without his goal yesterday we'd have no doubt lost the game, but all you can focus on is past misdemeanours instead of objectivily judging performances on their own merit. We things like ''his celebration is embarrassing '' look at, his body langauge wasn't smiling'' and calling him lazy even though he ran his socks off like most of the team, where plenty of other players performed far worse and didn't run as much.

You are a prime example of someone being a victim to social media agenda frenzies. Once a narrative is put in place about a particular player of our own, you believe in it and any tiny thing which reinforces this biased mindset you latch to and ignore what is actually happening right in front of your eyes through cognitive dissonance.

Did he really say that? :lol:
 
also how many hours did it take to feed the children or visit a school? really not so much effort if you ask me but it certainly makes good headlines.. how much of it it was his own effort or his pr team giving him advice? I dont know but the cynic in me, judging his general behaviour, isnt buying it
 
Delap is better than all our strikers........ Redcafe everyone.

6 goals and 1 assist so far this season. Playing for a team that’s been in the bottom three all season. That’s more than the combined totals of Hojlund, Rashford and Zirkzee. And he’s younger than all of them.

Maybe Redcafe is onto something here?

I can never ignore what is happening right in front of me, because all I see is this joker walking around pretending to be a professional footballer.

It comes as no surprise that the standards of this club have fallen so far when we have people like yourself defending a player because he has a relatively low output of returns for his minutes. Don't forget two of those five goals were against Barnsley (which is about Rashford's level).

I don't use social media and I can make my own judgement.

Most people, up and down the country, are not paid 350k a week to keep themselves in prime physical condition.

i agree, what a ridiculious comparison... people who are underpayed and getting ripped off by their employers havent the same standard than a overpaid footballer doing nothing earning more in a week then we do in a year? yeah, no shit. Rashford defenders are crazy and this comparison just shows how deluded and desperate they are trying to defend him.

Yeah Delap is clearly better. feck just watch back the match and it’s clear he offers more than any striker we have, and he didn’t even score.
 
I think people underestimate how much he’s regressed physically from a few years ago. He couldn’t even dream of moving at this speed anymore. I do think that back injury took from him. I don’t think he has the all round game to compensate unfortunately.

Bro you've been here long enough to see flavour of the season players come and go.... But ok
 
We've shot ourselves in the foot with him, think it's time to give him game until January and maybe look at moving him on a loan at least. If he can perform at another club, then it will increase the chances of the club selling. If he doesn't, we are back at square one anyway. Might aswell give that a shot.
