Actions speak louder than words. Start doing it on the pitch instead of writing paragraphs on social media.
Marcus Rashford deals with the naysayers and slaggers

Because what his twitter PR and what we've seen on the pitch are different. His attitude on the pitch stinks.
If he was talking purely about his performances then I'd get the bitching to some extent but he's not, he's also talking about his commitment to the club. One of our best players being committed to the club is a good thing regardless of whether we're happy with his performances or not. As a fan I want the club to decide whether to move a player on rather than the player decide, it's much better for us whatever way you look at it.
The problem is the club is totally unwilling to decide how the squad should be trimmed in recent years so we have ended up with a bunch of squad players who often seem a bit checked out mentally. But that's not the players' fault and them affirming their commitment to the club is a good thing.
It was indeed. Decent talent also.
Agreed.
He's having bad form that's sure but many trashing him for being lazy while the stats tell us he's not lazy at all. I never understand why there's so much hate for the guy.
This is another thing I'm not entirely getting too atm. The unanimous decision from Rashford's last full game was that he was lazy and defensively flippant, yet Sancho was receiving praise in his thread and then you compare the stats Rashford was better in most and then similar for the rest defensively and pressing wise.
I'm with you but on the flip side another way to show his commitment would be putting in a respectable performance too. That goes for everyone.
Not really, David Beckham put in a superb performance against Real off the bench for us only a couple of months before he was sold. Wanting to leave doesn't automatically make you play badly.
True and the problem for them and Rashford is everyone can see right through it especially United fans.
I understand doing this at the end of a bad season but Rashford gives us a grovelling PR apology about once a month now. Any benefit it had initially is now leading to diminishing returns.
Yeah the Norwich match too.
I was reading the Rashford performance thread and I thought I must have watched a different game. People called him trash, lazy, the worst etc. But according to the stats he was actually the best forward that match. Of course to my untrained eyes as well.
Exactly, Ive had a gutfull of him and his social media whining; the football pitch is the place where real footballers perform, not twitter.
That's a lot of goals, he'll be playing until he's 60!
What he does off the field for food for children is never in question. You’d have to be a cold hearted bastard to criticise him for that as just a human being, let alone a football fan.
However, I’m more concerned about Rashford the footballer and his stats have really not been good, his recent on-field demeanour is irksome and his obvious PR team releasing essays on about his long affiliation with Utd, how results haven’t been going your ways and any personal issues grind fans down and starts to annoy fans.
If you’re going to release one of those posts then you better follow it up with a performance in the next game. People usually don’t like those who fail to deliver on promises and you’re setting yourself up for a bigger fall if you do one of those posts.
I hope Ralf or whoever the next manager is can coach him into being a better decision maker in games. That’s a clear flaw in his game that hasn’t being improved on in my opinion. If this is his apex of football development and he isn’t going to improve anymore than what we’re seeing, then I would consider selling. I fear that this will be a Theo Walcott or Dele Alli moment where we could get stuck in thinking we can develop them more when we just waste time on it a la Walcott or we keep hoping he’ll return to form a la Alli.

True to very different degrees.
Rashford has been one of the worst, along with Maguire, and also, along with Maguire, is the one most likely to tweet about it while continuing to stink up the place every game.
So it's no small wonder those two have got more stick than everyone else, deservedly so.
We have a lot of foreign based Utd fans on this forum and they love nothing more than sticking it to the English lads.
Rashford got something like 33 goal involvements last season and was largely panned by fans. We will be lucky to get a single player matching that this season with how it's going.
I don’t think fans have done this at all
There are far bigger culprits and they are being called out just the same
but rashford hasn’t “performed” For years now, he hasn’t moved his game on and is so predictable.
No desire to get to the byline, only wants to come inside or hit worldie through balls
i will say in his defence, the only player who sees his runs and can make him effective is Pogba, and you have a whole new problem there.
With Fred and Mctom being at best average, rashford is starved of service, which is why I hope he works harder on other aspects of his game.
Ya write about it online and then produce another shitshow on the field
He should say this in his next PR release…
For what it’s worth he’s due a few goals. I’m sure the gloating the
once he hits one or two will be major but it’s not even about goals. It’s about showing some pride and actually working hard, not talking about working hard.In terms of this season he returned in the Leicester game and since then the entire team has been very poor. Fell off the waggon big time, changed manager and are yet to find any form at all, so he has returned from a fairly long term injury lay off after surgery, played in 15 games (9 starts and 6 subs) under 3 different managers in about 5 different systems in a couple of different posistions in a team that has been really struggling and is completely shot of confidence.
And yet people on here are surprised he hasn't found his best form yet? He's a quality player his numbers from the last couple of seasons back him up and he will come good again. Takes time to get back into the swing of things after long injury lay off in a settled side in good form let alone the situation he has been dealing with.

The fact that Fred gets dogs abuse after any of his substandard performances undermines this in fairness
He needs to look at Becks as a role model. He had much more going on off the pitch but he still put in the work on the training ground and on match day.
That being said, I think Rashers was a good player at his best but never as good as he was being made out to be (just a purple patch). I doubt he'll ever reach that level again.
He hasn't dealt with anything. They are empty words.
Show us on the pitch. Great charity work is one thing, but Man Utd are the ones who pay him. They are the reason he even has a platform, and he's been phoning it in for a long time now.

Didn't say all fans but the majority I've met like Fred even if they think we need an upgrade on him.
I'm tired of all these statements from players, we've heard them so much over the past few years. The only statement they need to make is on the pitch and they ain't doing it. Get your head down, shut up and start playing some actual football instead of the garbage you've been producing.
Classic Marcus, more social media drama from him.
When will he start playing Football ?

Talk is garbage. Heard it all before. Do your talking ON the pitch
Show it on the pitch and everyone will shut up.
FTFY
Tonight is the perfect example why he gets shit. He doesn't care, he doesn't want to play.
If you cannot see why he's got no place at United after tonight, you are a Rashford fan, not a United fan.
He's not interested. Time to get rid of him. He's simply checked out.
People think Ronaldo is a problem then what about this utter waster.
We should bin him off to Norwich or something but he Probably wouldn’t even get in their team.

Looks like the monstars have taken their first victim.
He has been Villa's best player.
Absolute fraud of a player these days. Lives off being one of our own and his off the field exploits.
Can confirm, naysayers have been utterly dealt with
For all I care, he can write a thesis on why he loves playing for United and what areas he need to improve on.
Doesn't mean shit if he doesn't perform on the pitch.

I think it's more that he doesn't seem to care unless he thinks he can score. He'll keep getting chances as he moves when he wants to but he doesn't produce enough to play the way he does. Really bizarre and certainty needs a real wake up call.
You're a prophet my son.
Rashford is not focusing.
He needs to get off social media and just play football - he does not have the mental ability to cope with it.
Just play the football.
