Always the same. Fantastic when he has feck all time to think.
Marcus Rashford (Out) | Ornstein: United want to keep, will only consider substantial bids

Yes a great strike, but apart from that he’s been absolutely hopeless again. Hope the goal doesn’t gloss over that fact.
I can't understand him. After such goal one would think he'd be full of confidence, but he looks totally absentminded and spineless
He's fecked up 3 chances since scoring. What's going on man.
Most embarrassing dive I’ve ever seen, needs to be sold for that alone.
Typifies this team really. Plays in moments but is consistently shite outside of said moments.
fecked 2 good quality chances and gifted it to City for their goal.

Hopefully PSG were watching the first 7 minutes and decided to switch over.
It will. If a hundred touches are awful but one scores a goal, people only focus on the one.
The goal was an elite shot. The rest is still nowhere near good enough.
We are being completely outplayed and and only chance of scoring is via counter attacking. Rashford scored on one of them.
I think people are being incredibly harsh if they are expecting more from him given the opponents.
Kyle walker is a fecking nightmare to have breathing down your neck.
Its not as easy as it looks.

Expecting a so-called star player on £350k to do more isn't really being harsh tbh
why? Because his mere breath exudes a force powerful enough to throw you to the ground without any physical contact?
No no newbie, you are mistaken. This is the thread for saying how shit Marcus is.
Shit, lightweight, lacking courage, bottles it when he has any time to think about it at all. Throwing himself around at the slightest touch is embarrassing
Guess a worldie doesn't give you much credit in the bank in here
Who?
350k a week to do that once or twice a season... sound investment that.
What?
What else do you want from him in this game? Walker is a absolute freak of a right back. Rashford has scored out of nowhere basically and is covering a lot of miles.
Have you ever played football before and cam relate at all to what I'm saying? Forget about the money and so called star or whatever.
When?
Drury and Neville are saying today would have helped Rashford's position with England.
You really can score and do fk all else, can't you?

Tell me you've never played football without telling me you've never played football.

Scored a goal out of nothing, fair play. But hopeless other than that. This is not to blame on him though, such poor defending from our midfield, Lindelof and Varane all game.
Haaland even worked far far harder than him. He’s a shadow of the player we actually need if he is going to be a talisman. Way below the level of grit and determination required. That’s before you look at the fact he gets cleaned every single time he gets the ball against a good full back and then he walks back. Shocking the way he’s been let turn into this
Please use the player performance forum to discuss his performance. This is for transfer talk only.
It's a cycle we've already been through unfortunately, he was horrendously out of form (albeit due to a lot of reasons such as surgery) and he played his way in the England squad by the Winter World Cup and finished the season with 30 goals. Then this season happened.
Reckon that goal should be worth about £75 million to PSG.
Other than todays goal which I would class as lucky as quite frankly it could have gone anywhere Rashford did feck all and the way he fecked up heading the ball forward so he could run onto it and have a shot at goal sums him up.
Then he falls over from the weakest of touches, gets the ball taken from him which resulted in a City goal. I honestly despair of this player.

Sell.Sell.Sell.
Do you guys really believe you’d sell Rashford at the same time as (probably) getting rid of Martial? It seems unbelievable to me that you’d leave yourself so short, in a position where you already could do with 1 more to be honest. I can’t see Utd signing 3 strikers in the summer, which would be what they’d need to do.
I can’t see Utd not moving on at least one centre back, and getting one in. Ditto one midfielder and potentially a fullback. Can’t see Rashford being seen as a priority here.

Depends if we are actually forward planning with Ineos now. I made this point before but the reality is Martial has been a squad player for us for a while, so we could/should pick someone up on a free who is good but will be happy on the bench i.e. Iheanacho maybe, Adams, Batshuyayi all are available on a free and average to good players who won't demand huge salaries. Then you have Hojlund plus a backup/competition with experience in that CF role.
Rashford is the one where I think we will need to spend big, I suspect we might go for a RW given how light we are there and Garnacho will revert to the left. Part of me thinks the club won't sanction it though, that media piece by him did feel a bit like he knows he's been crap but doesn't want to leave, so try and allay any fears about his doubts. The reality is we created this issue, he should never have been offered the money he's on and made out to be a level he isn't
Who?
I will accept that the loss of Martial is very much a paper loss than an actual loss to the first team.
Part of being a big club in multiple competitions is that you need numbers though. I can’t imagine a situation where during the summer your only recognised striker is Hojlund. Other clubs would try to hold you to ransom, more than they already do.
Realistically if we could sell him for £50m and get £500-£600k off the wage bill we'd be in a better place.
Based on 3/4 of the PL season gone and them on a combined total of 7 goals, we'd wouldn't exactly need peak RVN to replace them.
It's a decent point with Martial absolutely nailed on to leave on a free and the fact that we're also down to the bones in that position but a good offer for Rashford might be too difficult to ignore, especially with FFP issues. Having Hojlund and building the attack around him helps but ideally we'd need two strikers or one striker and one winger which is a lot to ask and probably very pricey.
On a related note, this club has just fecking sucked at its recruitment and structure for so long and survived by just winging it. Hopefully the new structure will sort it out over time.
Martial has been gone for ages and Rashford isnt a striker so the club need to sign more strikers.
This mentality of holding on the likes a crocked Martial or misfiring Rashford is nonsense - they are a detriment to the grand scheme of things.
Rashford may stay but Martial in 100% needs to go and if United go into next season with Rashford Hojlund as the forwards we can expect more of the same shit
There’s potentially quite a lot of wages that could be freed up either this summer or next. Varane, Casemiro, Maguire for example must be on the best part of 800k a week between them. Plus whatever happens to Sancho although I gather he’s been a bit average at Dortmund- it’ll be interesting to see if they try for another year next season.
The first few months of watching Martial at Utd I thought he could genuinely go on to become the next Thierry Henry, I thought he had everything. Shows how bad I am at assessing talent!
Exactly, but some fans would sell Casemiro, Bruno, Maguire, Lindelof, McTom, Antony, Martial, Rashford, AWB, Eriksen (plus Sancho and Greenwood)
Then somehow expect to field a competitive team next season! Over to you Ashfield to buy a brand new starting eleven in summer.
Selling Rashford is not a priority at all!
