Marcus Rashford - Linked to PSG

Madness isn’t it? I’m pretty sure Rashford will come good, and if he doesn’t he can always go in the summer. People acting like we need to sell him yesterday should check their agenda.

Don’t always agree with you but last sentence sums it up perfectly, people moaning when he doesn’t play well & when he does still having a go.

He’s more than earns a season under EtH, the level of disdain goes beyond his on pitch performances.

Some people really aren't happy are they? Hahaha.

Racism? Perhaps but probably not that.

Are they Tories? I think so. The hatred of that young lad for doing something so wonderful off the pitch is quite honestly staggering. If you knock that lad for what he's done you're honestly a terrible terrible person.

Hope he shuts you all up and makes you utterly miserable this season now.

Rashford is a red.

Again summing it up perfectly.

If as a United fan you can not be happy for an academy product having a good game against one of Europes better sides then I don’t know what will appease you.
 
Rashford has always been a player that needs space to run into which is why he has a good record against the big clubs, they don’t park the bus or sit deep.

Using Rashford up top as well as Martial could see a far more fluid and interchangeable forward line if we manage to add Antony to those two as well as Sancho, Elanga and Fernandes. On paper it doesn’t have a 25-30 goal a season striker but as a team unit we could see 15-20 from a few and 10+ from the others.

To answer your last question, yes it’s almost fashionable to be reactionary in these parts. Rashford isn't going to be consistent as what most people on here are hoping. I like him and he needs a clean slate…..at a new club

Agreed.

McTominay et al put in one good performance and it is incredibly reactionary. You just get folk crawling out of the woodwork over the pure basics.

I can't take this fanbase seriously considering how cultish it became around Ole.

He clearly was offside - - however, a tolerance level has been put in place for offside calls this season.

Like I said, reactionary children.

Yep.

We need to be ruthless, he's quite clearly not good enough for us. PSG are interested so he needs to go in January.

Ten Hag clearly doesn't rate him that highly either otherwise we wouldn't be after Antony AND Gapko.
 
I am with ten Hag. If he thinks he can get something out of Rashford, and last night was a great START, then I will trust in ten Hag
 
Based on that performance I don't want him to go but we should see how much PSG are willing to pay

The tolerance level means it was onside though. Hence it being given.
 
Correct. The tolerance level is set up to consider benefit of the doubt to the attacker, as should be the way. Also, because still frames aren't good enough to know everything. There are 'gaps' between each frame where the player may have appeared onside even by last year's standards. This is yet another reason that tolerance levels exist.
 
He'll have to battle to maintain his spot when Antony arrives, but that's a good thing for united and ETH, no one can put in half arse performance and get game time.
Yesterday Maguire, Ronaldo and Shaw got to sit it out, now they'll have to earn their spot.

Are they? They're going to spend, what, 60m for a player that will sit on the bench? Because he's not playing ahead of Mbappe, Neymar, or Messi. I get there's a lot of reports out there, but when they make no sense, you have to ask yourself is this true, and if it isn't, who benefits from that rumor?
 
That was his most enthusiastic performance in a long time. I didn't believe he could offer that spark at United anymore.

Not saying he played perfect but he did at least the good things we know he can do, closing space and timing aggressive runs to attack the defence. The goal was classic Rashford and could have scored a beauty after leaving three players on the floor.

Obviously he needs to show this energy on a regular basis before we start talking about commiting for the long term, but if he wants to redeem himself after his poor showings this was for sure a decent start. We'll see what happens in the next games.
 
DutchCruijff said:
Have you got a crush on him or something?

All of PSG's highly reliable journalists said they were in for him and £60m was their valuation.
Click to expand...

And we get linked with 500 players every summer.

Stop believing everything you read.
 
If PSG are still offering £60m we’d be stupid not to take it. Let him go, get in Antony and Gakpo.
 
Keano was spot on after the match, Marcus just needs to simplify his game. Play on the shoulder, make lots of runs in behind. Go direct and teams can't live with him.

If he wants to drop in and take people on he can do it at 2 or 3 goals up but when the games in the balance he needs to focus on being that penetrative, direct force we know he can be because its devastating. There's a reason he has goals against City and Liverpool who like to play high, you can't catch him

Why are you crying?

I don't get these low IQ takes. "Oh no, someone says something I don't like so don't promote him!".

His first goal as a starter in 460+ days. 460+ days. Drill that into your skull. We've sunk to our lowest in decades and he's been a regular.

So called "fans" like you lower the standard of the club. Support a different club, genuinely.

One performance. Just one mediocre performance is enough to get the reactionary children to jump up and down and sink us into mediocrity.

He is not good enough. Sell. Sell. Sell.

PSG were never offering 60m though, this isn't even a real story, is it? Has anyone truly reputable backed it up? Especially that figure?

He'll be looking a new contract inside the next year, drumming up some "interest" would be a good agent move, could be that?
 
crossy1686 said:
He needs a big season, we know he can do it, he's very much a confidence player and prone to a sulk. If Ten Hag can't get the best out of him this season then he has to go in the summer, however if he keeps playing like he did against Liverpool and better then there's no reason to move him on.
Click to expand...

I feel like we've been hoping for this since he scored those two goals against them in 2018!

it would be stupid to let him go now though. As you say give him a season under Ten Hag and reassess the situation in the summer.

I agree with him. It's inane and puerile to throw a tantrum because you don't like someone's posts. If you disagree with anything in it, you can easily address it without resorting to the silly "never promote this (insert newbie username)"
 
PSG are reported to have said they were interested in Marcus a couple of seasons ago and that he remains on their list of interest.
We don’t know how true any of that is though and just what does that mean?
If true, it will almost certainly go no further than Rashford being among a list of dozens of other players across Europe, they’ll be keeping an eye on as potentials to fill various positions in the squad.

As others have pointed out, the tolerance level has allowed him to be onside and the goal stands. So why are you complaining? Even though many want him to be gone including me, i rather see if he is able to get back to his original game. Sometimes, a goal is all it takes. We have a new manager with a new style of play. He synched up with Martial well and that bodes well for the future if he keeps his brooding in check.

McTominay is a different case, he hasn't shown his game to be of top quality. Rashford has.

Shows a tweet with the still used by VAR to prove Rashford was onside.
Tweet even explains why he was onside.
Goal was given.

Still insist you're right and he was offside.

Aren't we after those players because Ronaldo wanted to leave and we need some more options for the attack. One of them would probably play on the right for Elanga but hey keep pushing your agenda without any evidence.

You know, back in the days, when a striker made a run from the last defender like that, we used to call it a 'perfectly timed run', now with VAR, the runs have to be timed even more perfectly to not get ruled out on a replay, but for some reason you've chosen to double down and call it a clear offside?

The linesman, the ref, the 4th official and VAR all said onside, only TAA protested in hope more than anything. Rashford celebrated like he knew he was onside.

You've had a fecking nightmare here sunshine.

I’m not a Tori…nor am I from England. I have no agenda other than to see United win. I am thrilled that Rashford, an academy product, had a good game. It was great to see him smile in the interview. I want him to enjoy football and to play well as long as he represents Manchester United. I still thought he had many disgraceful performances over the last two years where he didn’t play for the badge and moped around the field, and I would sell him, even after yesterday, if there was a legitimate offer on the table. If he stays, we need to see the level of effort he put out yesterday, every game.

No offence, but I personally think you're the one coming across as childish here.

The guy is 24 and really suffered with injury and confidence. It's the first real low point he's had in his career and he's struggled to deal with the pressure. But he wasn't the only player not performing last season. Good managers know how to motivate, inspire and play to a player's strengths. I don't feel that he's really had that for most of his career.

There's clearly a player in there, his pace, movement off the ball and finishing are exceptional. If we can get him working hard and feeling confident again, he's a major weapon. You can't even compare him to Elanga. You just know Rashford would bury the chance Elanga missed yesterday. He's so clinical in that position.

Whether he's suited to our style of play when we dominate possession is another question. But he's certainly effective on the counter when we have a lead and he's not someone that we can afford to lose at the moment.

Don't get your point, at all. He was either onside or offside, and he was onside. There is no debate about this - that is the ruling of offsides.
 
Looks like he and Martial would rotate upfront. Antony and Sancho on wings with Elanga as backup. Then maybe we develop another of the youth as a 6th forward.

His goal was ruled onside and it was a goal that helped us win yesterday.
 
Please, sell this guy.

He was poor vs Liverpool and utterly poor today too.

You can fool some who are like children over one goal but fundamentally he is useless vs low block sides and hit and miss vs high line sides.
