lucky to have him, dont know you're born, etc
Marcus Rashford (Out) | Ornstein: United want to keep, will only consider substantial bids
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
yeah cant be bothered to feel sorry for him. Just because you grew up in the area doesnt overlook the fact you are getting paid like a world class player while strolling about putting in half ass effort. Dont understand why we should be grateful his family passed up life changing money elsewhere so he could get life changing money here? Be different if he passed that up and was getting paid like 100 dollars a week now or something. You play a damn game and get paid ridiculously well for it.
Players Tribune….
That’s a negatory, good buddy.

The amazing thing is you imagine this post shows up Ten Hag as a fraud & works as a fine defence for Rashford. Rather than undermine yourself
Not the statement of a player that wants out.
Typical self serving PR bullshit. If only he put as much effort into his performances as he does on his public image
Which was what, and when?
Jesus you angry bastards, he clearly loves the club, what the feck is wrong with you?
You don’t have to like his playing style, or rate him, but questioning now everything he says nice about his love of his boyhood as PR? Get a fecking grip of yourselves.

People who "clearly" love the organisation they work for show it everyday through the work they do. He shows nothing but contempt for the club with his disgraceful lack of effort, so get off your high horse
It's astonishing how immature he is for a 26 year old.
Get him gone. A person with his personality could never succeed at the highest level. We need proper mentalities going forward to compete. Cash in and move on.
If he stays it can only mean INEOS are about marketing and shirt sales as much as the Glazers were.

This.
What's the question?
It’s over Marcus. Its not us, it’s you
Early contender for post of the year!!
I’m of the opinion that SAF would have him out the door.
Mate..... This is how it is on here. I don't fight it anymore, waste of energy....
Really badly timed piece this. Anyone with a modicum of sense see's right through it, just shows the shitshow that is around him. Spoofers.
Someone must explain him that a poor kid in UK is far more privileged than most of the kids in rest of the world. Thousands of players come from Latam, Africa, Balkans etc. Fair play to him for making it (because he has) but other players made it under far more difficult circumstances, so I don't get this constant reminder of his upbringing.
I'm glad I'm not your employer
I don’t think in general people have questioned his love for the club, but rather his work rate and desire, which is basically based on what is seen on the pitch.
I think if he was trying and failing it would be bad form, but the lack of effort is what gets on everyone’s titts. And the talk of this manager or that manager, Marcus really has gone through similar spells under multiple managers.
I don’t blame him for the wages the club gave him, but it’s a bit rich mentioning he gave up money when he’s on 300,000+ pounds a week.
United fans love academy products. So just turn it around on the pitch and you’re good Marcus.

Don't imagine he does when he's one of the highest paid player in the league. Maybe can make an even more impactful statement by playing better.
If Ferguson has the ears of Brailsford and Ratcliffe, he’d probably tell them that.
Theres a story that Brailsford tells where he met Ferguson over a decade ago as the Team GB Cycling head coach and picked his brains over team management. Brailsford asked what was his secret to constant success and longevity.
Ferguson just stated ‘Get rid of the cnuts’.
Grow up.
I think it'd be best for both parties if we moved him on in the summer. As a supposed leader and senior player he sets an awful example on the pitch. I've not idea how he is off it day to day, but we've seen incidents on a couple of occasions now.
More than anything I don't understand why you'd come out with a piece like this when you show so little desire on the pitch 90% of the time? If he's not aware of how he looks to us watching the game then someone really needs to drum it into him.
When he's going at it full pelt he can be a cracking player. But he's getting into his supposed peak now and his game will not age well on the way down. I'd be surprised to see more than one red hot season from him if he stays here.
Talk someone into a £60m+ deal and let's move on.

His PR team have had a mare here. No one is buying this crap. He could shut the whole world up by running and putting an effort in. He took the easy option of getting his team to create this level of shit. Just feck off - or put some effort in.
Good luck with that.
You're right. He's not shown enough to be on the same level as other 60m+ players like Mudryk, Antony or Havertz.
It’s going to click for him soon. I anticipate a strong finish to the season. I’ll go with 1 in 2 till the season runs out. #RashfordIn
he might be one of the worst players off the ball I’ve seen over the last decade Also those comments - what a lack of self awareness. Makes it sound like the clubs owes him. How about looking at your own “performances” over the last year or so?
I get that he could possibly be one of those kids who turned down a strong education (hence stable route to money) to peruse a career at a football club - which may or may not work out eventually. However that’s what many sportspersons do to follow their dreams. What he forgets is that this should not matter - all the players we’ve signed have made sacrifices over their careers / youth. That doesn’t excuse strolling around the pitch like an entitled brat for years now. He isn’t even good enough in general for all this fuss - I’d sell him this summer. But I don’t think the new regime will want to rock that boat.
What’s it with some of these takes? 6-7 years ago it wasn’t guaranteed that he’d end up on a massive contract. He’s explaining that he had offers that would have changed the life of his family at that time. He chose to wait it out because he loved the club. Players who take that route mostly don’t end up the way he did with a ridiculously fat contract so it was a risky move ex ante. He’s not saying the club owes/owed him anything. He’s saying media/fans owe him the benefit of the doubt.
But yeah this entire piece was ill-advised…just do it on the pitch.

He is just not very smart and neither is his PR team.
Do your talking on the pitch.
This whole thing reminded me of how Utd’s media team track player sentiment acriss social media channels and if they see a players sentiment drop they work with the player to improve things. It all feels a bit staged and purely in response to the whole Barkley incident which must have plummeted his fan sentiment online.
As many have said, actions speak louder than words. Even if he’s fallen out with or lost faith in the manager he should be motivated to prove the doubters wrong on the pitch by working hard off the ball and producing more on the ball. He has the talent as we have seen many times (in patches) but seemingly not the mentality to do it consistently on a season by season basis. If he cannot see why that frustrates us fans, local lad or not, then he’s deluded.

That’s what I said. However these things are true for a lot of footballers in our squad who could have had a more ‘stable’ career but chose to sacrifice that and their social lives for a career in sport. What love he had the club for a boy or still may do doesn’t make his off the ball output any less appalling. Watching Hojlund bust his gut as if his life depended on it while Mr nobody can question my commitment ambles around refusing to contest 50/50 balls, is much more relevant than what brave decisions he look a decade ago. This is a professional football club aspiring to the best and has to make every decision with that goal in mind.
Thing is, we have a lot of players who simply aren’t good enough. And they know this so the golden goose that is rich and stupid enough to pay footballers twice their worth. It’s up to SJR and team to show that they have the balls to genuinely set high standards within the club now.
If my manager is shit then I will be more likely turn to being shit myself within his company! There's roles for a reason to run a company or a club.
Judging the top played employee when the whole team is shit aswell as primarily the manager themselves (who employed all these shit employees) seems like an 'obvious' thing to do by many people; especially the people from downstairs roles looking up at them
Rashford shouldn't be our top payed player or even top played - but I see too many holes in Ten Hag's managerial ability to single out Rashford's performances and work rate as primarily his own problem. Ten Hag doesn't even have the balls to drop him and try get Rashford out of his feet and his mind out of his arse.
I'm just blaming the root of the problem rather than the cause of the problem.
Get a top level manager in or even a top level DOF which we seemed to, then decide if Rashford's good enough in a better system.
All that Ten Hag does is improve players individual ability as we saw both at Ajax and United first season where the team was built for him by - the roles of the people above; rather than build it for himself. I can mention so many players Ten Hag has improved individually in his managerial career - but has Ten Hag ever built an amazing tactical system that gets mostly both the players and the fans in ultimate confidence because they have an ability to see or understand a system?
No, not really.
And I can personally see players with lower work rate because they have like 1/10th of the work rate of park ji sung or even Antony being affected by this.
Funnily, enough - I think Ten Hag has overvalued 'work rate mentality' as a single way to judge players especially with his purchases - Antony, Onana, Malacia, Mount, Amrabat, Weghorst, Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez - are all extremely hard workers with strong mentality - but arguably just 1 or at maximum 2 players have had other top abilities within themselves to look like top purchases at this club. Ten Hag has worked better with the players already at the club than the players he himself has bought in.

He does too much talking outside the pitch with his PR mumbo jumbo. His PR team should get a huge cut of his wage based on how they work. He doesnt walk the talk on the pitch. This is just another usual Rashford thing where every time his stock drops he releases a puff piece
Dont you know we are doing him a favor by paying him a measly amount just to play for us ? We dont deserve his godly grace. He is so much full of himself. Question his commitment ? He strolls around the field like prime Ronaldinho while playing like shit week in week out. Sir Rashford doesnt do that dirty defensive work crap that's reserved for peasants
This is always his MO. Under fire for shit performance, issue a puff piece. Rinse and repeat.

Praying that P$G goes hard in on him in the summer.
From the outside I can absolutely see the frustration Utd fans have with Rashford. Hugely talented and still a concern when you see him in the team against you. However, more times than not, he just doesn't put the effort in. Fans love players that give 100% every game, look at Nunez at Liverpool, finishing can be awful but you'd never question his effort. Words are easy and some players seem to resort to talk more than action far too often. Best for Utd and Rashford to part ways.
