Even when he's out in Manchester he rolls like 20 deep with a stack of hangers-on and bodyguards.

While he was over there he got fitted for a new platinum and diamond Johnny Dang grill...so that'll be nice. Maybe he'll debut it against Ipswich.


Rashford on that twitter timeline looks so out of place. I still don’t get what the hell is that?
 
Rashford in this video wears what can only be described as a clown outfit, yet acts like he doesn't want to be recognized by the media.

It's a blatant publicity stunt to show his social media followers how cool and trendy he is.

Meanwhile, he is an underperforming, overpaid star that can't even be arsed to work his socks off.

If you're comparing that to an alcoholic George Best that would work his socks off and still be the best player in the world even when half-drunk, it's a losing battle.

Best was a legendarily great footballer. Rashford is a media package first, footballer second.

If anyone thinks Rashford is an example of a mentally strong player, the delusion is off the charts.
I don’t think what Rashford chooses to wear or put in his mouth, is relevant to his physical & mental condition to play professional football. Unfortunately Rashford doesn’t even have half the talent of Georgie Best (who screwed his career with his attitude & off field distractions) or we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

And where on earth have you read that Rashford is an example of a mentally strong player????
 
Don't care about him watching men's netball.

If the '12 hour tequila bender' is true though, it's a worry.

Rashford highs are higher then nani's but his lows are way worse and they last seasons. For the record I think it's time for rashy to go

Goal scoring wise for sure. But I'd take Nani's best season (the year I think Bale won ypoty) over Rashford's best. Nani was more talented and despite being inconsistent, not as inconsistent as Rashford.
 
That’s the reason he’ll never leave United. He’s never getting this kind of exposure and stardom if he plays for psg for example. You’d have to earn it elsewhere but here, being the poster boy for United is enough no matter how bad you play.
Exactly. i dont even blame him really, its what the club have created.
 
Signs of international break on the Caf.

Rashford has annoyed me these last 18 months with his non performances, but has to gain a bit of respect for pulling that jacket off. Fair play
 
Here was me thinking the players were hard in training with the new manager so we can try and get out of this slump. Sure they get days off to recharge but to fly to New York?

Days off weren’t on Monday/Tuesday when Amorim was settling in and doing his media bits???
 
That's literally pictures of him training as well on his own.

If he trains on his day off he gets hated on saying it's a publicity stunt. If he goes to a basketball hammer he be should be training.

I swear the people who spend their lives constantly hating on him are the saddest people ever
 
The points is that Best, the most talented European player ever imo up to date, fecked his career up by his off field antics.


Best was the best and can't be compared however his best moments came in a great team surrounded by great players.

When United were struggling and fighting relegation Best was AWOL boozing it up for weeks at a time.

The biggest regret I have on Rashford is he will never experience playing in a great Fergie team going for titles.

Yeah I imagine it's a pretty sad existence. Only getting worse though.... So many of them moaning about every player, all over the cafe
 
He’s overrated and I think he’s lacking in the mental fortitude to be a truly great player. A great player doesn’t worry about being “bullied” by pundits. He puts his head down and works to improve performances on the pitch. I’d sell him as soon as possible and start working on getting players in with a stronger mentality.
 
Whether this lad is good enough or not is a separate issue.

But when someone plays the victim card but flaunts all his wealth on social media, it's hard to have any sympathy. If anything was affecting him, he wouldn't be so flashy at these events.

Manager cannot start till Monday due to Visa, also not uncommon for fit players to have time off during the 1st week of international break
 
Why is this thread so active? Did he make another post or something?

Made a post. Or didn't make a post when he should have. Or someone else made a post about him.


Sad, sad people whose idea of supporting a club is despising the players when they fall short.

Yeah we're really here to back players up whatever they do or how they perform. Sir Alex was famously very easy going with that sort of thing.
 
Bit OTT, his behaviour and antics. I hope the manager and management deals with him in case his form remains shit. Sinple
 
Don't think I'd agree with that. Nani in 10/11 was the best player in a team of champions as we went on to win the title and was probably the best player in the league. The only time Rashford was even close to a similar level, let alone better, was about 3-4 months in 19/20.

Nani from late 2009 till 2011 was the best player in a Team that won the league, came second, reached the CL final, and was one bad referee decision from going in another CL deep run.

I agree with you. Rashford didnt reach (and we can easily assume that will never reach) that standards. Nani also captained his nation in a Euro final which they won. I know he was a frustrating player sometimes but his highs were WC, even though it lasted only 1 year.
 
Nani and Rashford both benefited from the fact that if you can do a stepover, 40% of fans will automatically think you're world class and won't hear an argument against it. But Nani was incredibly frustrating and inconsistent. He had a much better end product than Rashford and he worked hard. So you'd put up with it.

Not sure if you noticed but Ferguson was the manager - you are not. Hope this helps.
 
Turns out he is living the life, reaping the benefits of his career. Shame he has lost interest in playing football.

Nani is still playing 11-a-side as well as in Pique’s 6-a-side structure with his own team. By all accounts from a youngster who played with him recently he is down to earth, a total gent and still incredibly passionate about the game and physical conditioning.

In any other era he would have been viewed as one of the great entertainers to play for Utd (tormenting Arsenal defenders repeatedly) but for being in the shadow of Ronaldo. He also never got the protection from his own team mates that he deserved - carragher’s shocking tackle at anfield being the most obvious example. He also took dog’s abuse home and away when he lost the ball or over hit a cross. He stepped up to take a pen in the champions league final v Chelsea at the end of his 1st season and scored when it mattered, despite being a sub, whereas other current and recent players missed their pens on the big stage as subs.

If only Utd had the choice of peak Nani or Amad on the right flank today.

You're right. Our job is to simply be grateful he's turned up. The response to him pulling out of every 50/50 is to remember that none of us are Alex Ferguson and if he gets a decent Instagram story photo from the match then that's all that matters.

What else do we exist for except as a platform to increase the profile and exposure of our players?

What you've said has helped tremendously. Thanks
 
He’ll retire at the here, getting a pass because he’s a local lad who apparently loves the club, syphoning a fortune while he’s at it. All the while in reality having achieved absolutely nothing of note.
League cup, FA cup and Europa League...
 
You say that like it's a bad thing, they're meaningful trophies. Tottenham as a whole club last won one of these in 2008. Arsenal haven't won the League cup since the 90s.

They're valuable to have, rather have them than not.
nobody gives a toss about the league cup, and you mention spurs!? they win feck all :lol:
 
On a football level I think Rashford is not good enough. If he wasn’t on £300k or it wouldn’t cause a stink if he didn’t start 3 matches in a row then I’d think he’d be a great squad player.

But don’t see the issue with him being out in New York dressing however he wants. Assuming the players been given the time off. Although I do remember the summer PR about him training. Voluntarily staying for the manager’s first week to “train and learn” would have bought him a lot of credit.

Could be a branding attempt like Becks with the Sarong, but clearly failed
 


This clip is depressing me. How much of a superstar does Marcus think he is to behave like this? The entourage, the whole look, the waiting limo and the “look at me”. You’d have to be a world leader in your sport to justify anything like this and yet this guy can’t make his national team and is not a guaranteed starter on a club side in the bottom half of the division. Ridiculous really, needs to be off loaded asap.

I'm bad at fashion but I can put something together that isn't as awful as this.

I know Rashford isn’t loved on here at the moment but you can’t just rewrite Nani’s history. They bolded bits are just not true at all.

Nani was never our best player. He had a stretch in 10/11 where he was probably performing the best along with Berbatov but by the end of the season was out of our strongest 11. It goes without saying that Rooney was by far our best player this period, excluding his rotten end to 2010. If not him it was Vidic.

In my opinion Rashford’s peak was better than Nani’s. I’ve seen both play at their best and while Nani is probably more easy on the eye, Rashford at his best is more decisive and explosive.

I agree Nani is being overrated there, but he was better than Rashford.

Nani and Nasri were quite clearly the two best players in the league in the first half of that season, with daylight third. That was the general view at the time both on here and most other places. Nasri's form then dropped off around Christmas, whereas Nani continued going until March. He never really got going again after the Carragher tackle so there certainly were a lot of players that were better in the final quarter of the season, but IMO (and from most other Utd fans IIRC) he'd built up a big enough lead in the first three-quarters that he was our best overall.

Even though his form had dropped off he still started pretty much all our games bar the CL final against Barcelona, which turned out to be a huge mistake as once he came on he was the player who was most comfortable dealing with the Barca press and was giving them the most trouble.
