Marcus Rashford (Out) | Ornstein: United want to keep, will only consider substantial bids

Have we ever seen a player of us being a "boyhood United fan" playing with such low intensity/effort?
Every time players like Beckham, Neville, Hojlund or Ighalo etc played for us, I could strongly feel their desire to make the team they support win.
Even Lingard did try his best on the pitch when he was with us.

Yeah it's really weird. Maybe I didn't see it before bc Martial was such a debbie downer but Rashers is def the no.1 at this now.

I don't buy this anymore. He signed a contract last summer. If he was unhappy he could have asked to leave or just don't sign an extension. Surely, at this point money should not have been his main concern.

He just is a Ronaldo pretender. It just happens that he has half of his talent and physical abilities.
 
He needs to go. It's this shite today more often than it isn't from him. Even his rare good days are a goal and feck all else. We and he have feck all to show for his time at the club, he's not worth the hassle IMO. If another club can get more out of him then so be it, good for them, it's not working here.
 
He only scores goals. When he isn't doing that, he adds nothing. He's basically a better version of Antony.
 
Wherever he goes, do not sell him to another PL club. The thought that clown doing his point to empty head against us sets off blood pressure alarms.
 
Personally I'm done with him. I would absolutely sell him to PSG. No question. He may do great there, no regrets. Abysmal effort.
 
Forget driving him to the airport, I'll give him a piggyback all the way to Paris. He symbolises everything wrong with the club, entitled, lazy and thinks far to highly of himself.
 
Can't think of another United player that I've grown to dislike, after being so fond of initially. Apart from the obvious ones like Tevez and Heinze of course. It's sad but I hope we get rid of him sooner rather than later.
 
He's clearly on a massive decline. Need to cash in with PSG being desperate.
 
Complete opposite of Hojlund, we created nothing for him, but he certainly didn't work to make sure he was available. Not to blame for the defeat, we can't defend, create nor hold the midfield, but he certainly doesn't help. Should have stuck Antony up top, least he'd make a pest of himself, Maguire would probably have even been a better option.
 
Why play him at forward? Just because he was semi-adequate there about 5 years ago doesn't mean he can still play there. We moved around our most dangerous option and the only one who could give us any width in Garnacho (since ETH refuses to allow fullbacks to overlap) and put an already shaky form player in Rashford up top where he offers literally nothing. He has zero traits required of a center forward. No hold up, no physicality, no instinctive runs in the box, and no pressing ability.
 
He was awful…

His effort was awful…

No excuse for that.

But…

How many times do managers have to see him be absolutely useless at Number 9 before stopping trying it. Has he had a single good game there in 7 years?

Then try something else ffs!
 
Manager lets him do whatever he wants, walks around the pitch and pretends to press and tackle. Pathetic.
 
He’s bigger than the club. Stinks out every week putting in zero effort yet gets selected every match. I refuse to believe it’s only the manager who’s a coward. The whole club is scared of the bad PR if he doesn’t play. A trash player like him has become bigger than the club. The day he’s sold we will finally be free to set some standard again.
 
I’ve always been leaning towards persisting with him, I’ve felt he’s had so many managers, with so many different ideas I’ve always felt like he’s deserved the benefit of the doubt any time he’s gone through a bad patch, but that has ended today.

There is absolutely zero excuse to play sport, at any level, and not give 100%. No reason. Even less than zero reason if you are being paid 350k a week to play for the club that you are meant to love. His attitude and application in games is beyond pathetic. I truly hope PSG see enough in him to make a significant bid for him in the summer to replace Mbappe, a move is undoubtedly the best thing for both Rashford and Manchester United.
 
Not a striker. But we've long established this.

It's the club's fault we've basically ended with a 20 year old rookie and then Martial a few games a season as our only options up there.
 
A player that has been an awful striker every single time he has played as one... delivers an awful performance as a striker. No one could have seen that coming.

It's incredible he has managed to fool so many people into thinking he is good enough for a team that's supposed to be challenging. His ability is good, but nothing special, and most definitely not world class. Which, of course, you don't necessarily need to be a successful player competitively. But all of that is being made much worse by his indolence. His best attribute is being marketable. If PSG come and offer anything in the region of £70 million, I'd snap their hands of and run before they can come to their senses.
 
He decides when he leaves,
He decides when he leaves,
He's Marcus Rashford,
He decides when he leaves.
 
If there’s any truth in the PSG rumours let him go.

Lets move all the wasters from this era on.

An in-form Rashford is a lethal attacking weapon, so if we can get him to perform consistently then we should keep him.

The question is, is he able to maintain a top level form for long periods to make our attack strong?

If the answer is no then there is no point keeping as he is not serving the purpose of keeping him.

He’s not done that yet. He’s always been inconsistent and even when he’s smashing it he doesn’t play particularly well, he just scores goals (which of course is the point of the game). He doesn’t press, he’s not overly aggressive or brave and drops his head when things don’t go his way. I’m firmly in the rashford out camp but I’d love to be proven wrong, as with any united player.
 
Imagine Conte being the manager and Rashford putting in his half arsed efforts….he’d be dragged off instantly. (Not saying I’m a fan of conte at all but would be hilarious to see him dealing with Rashford)

Antony’s crap but his overall game is much better than Rashford. Can actually control the ball and retain possession and at least he works hard out of it. Rashford is a nothing player when he’s not scoring, doesn’t try, doesn’t put himself about, doesn’t use his physical assets. I’ll always like the man and respect him as a person and Manchester Utd fan, but as a player I’ve never been a fan. I don’t think he has all that much talent and really never has. Would be best for Utd if we moved on and replaced him with an all round better player.
 
Rashford, Antony, Casemiro, McSauce, Maguire, Lindelof, & Ten Hag OUT in the summer.
 
This is one to watch because it's going to be a big test of the expectations and standards from the INEOS regime. Rashford's been sinking this place out for too long now: a lazy, sullen, non-performer, who contributes almost nothing, again and again. Another streaky spell of goals isn't going to change the fundamentals.

We obviously need to take any opportunity to sell, whether that's PSG or a Saudi side looking at the brand - my fear is that won't happen, or at least won't happen in the next 12 months.
 
Feck off to PSG to replace Mbappe,will fit right in with all their other money grabbers. We wouldn't miss him one iota looking at this season
 
He's back being the player we had under Ole and Ralf doing almost protest type performances.

Seems as though he has no faith in the manager and upset how Sancho was handled and is just waiting for him to be sacked. it's a real shame as last season he looked to be enjoying his time at United and under ETH but it's not taken much for him to go into full sulk mode while the ink on his bumper new contract was still drying.

Having been worried about last years Rashford getting tempted by PSG mega millions I really couldn't give a feck now if this is his attitude. He used to work hard when not playing well but has really not matured and any slight grievance with his friends at the club or girlfriend he's back to half arseing it. We need players like him if the club is struggling or like today missing Hojlund.

Whether he can come good again under a new manager and environment I'm really not sure we should be pursuing with such a limited player that is great one minute and so poor the next and has very little passing skill or consistency to fall back on and help the team. I'd probably take the money and avoid the coming at some point 3-6 months purple patch in the next 4 years. Stop accommodating Rashford and Bruno, start to assemble a better quality side, hungry players with ability.
