The sooner we move on from him, the better. He has more PR articles in a week than he has decent performances in an entire season.
Marcus Rashford (Out) | Rashford: “For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”
- Thread starter Mainoonited
- Start date
His performances haven't been great for a good while now, but this is all very sad, it's probably for the best but never nice to see an Academy player leave.
I think it's better for all parties to move on.
Hopefully we get good money and Rashford will have good career somewhere else, hopefully outside PL.

Much needed. We always seem to be down a man playing with him and with Amorim tactics, he looks like a fish out of water. Bye bye PRashford!
I’m more excited about who we get to replace him and if Amorim has anyone lined up from our youth set up

Excellent news. He’s far too handsomely paid to be putting out the displays and levels of efforts that he does. Wish him well but I’m glad the management have taken this big decision.
We’ve spent 8 years trying to fix the issues in his game. It’s time to move on and accept that he’s not got it. Persisting with let downs, and that too on enormous wages, is part of the problem.
Let me ask my you (as a Rashford fan), what do you make of his work rate on the pitch with regards to both tracking back and making runs?
It'll cost a huge amount more to replace him. 33 times as much in fact.
Rashford is someone who could play up front and score lots of goals for us and compete with Hojlund, you're looking at probably £40-50 million at least on a new player who can compete and score goals like Rashford has shown he can. Then the wages on top. Rashford's 4 years on 300k which would be just over £1.2 million as its 4 years and then into then summer. Very small in comparison
His hold up play is trash and he can’t press from the front. Why do you want our strike force to be so rubbish? Do we just accept being a Europa league team then?
The ego and delusion he has...
Rashford has been playing like shit for 18months, and he sees "current challenge" i.e. Man United as the problem? Who exactly does he think is knocking on our doors to sign him and pay his undeservedly astronomical wages? Stop mentioning PSG, they have ZERO interest in him. They did years ago, it's long gone.
We were going to sell him in the Summer, but nobody even inquired. Has anything changed? Sorry to break it to him, but other than British media, who uses him as clickbait, nobody in the world cares about Marcus Rashford or rates him as a footballer. Like at all

He can press from the front, he just isnt. I want to see this manager work on that with him which is probably part of the message he was sent being left out this week
He's fast and has a record of scoring goals, when we have someone else with those qualities to compete with Hojlund and is doing better than than Rashford, sure then change it. I want our strike force to be good, thats why I want someone who has proven they'll score goals to compete with Hojlund. We dont have that without Rashford
And I dont want another Sancho deal where we sell him cheap to reduce the wages so he can refind his form at Chelsea or wherever. We've been poor with spending to replace our attacking players anyway so the wages will probably be wasted again
Ah can he also be the next great dribbling genius but just isn’t? 8 years and the bloke is still terrible off the ball. How many years before we accept who is and isn’t?
He’s a terrible centre forward. Can’t hold the ball up, can’t win duels and can’t judge the flight of the ball. Yet you want him as the alternative to an inexperienced striker to ensure we continue to score 65 goals a league season forever. Nicking a goal now and then simply ain’t worth it for all his flaws. He’s not prolific ffs.
He's a player who scored 30 goals and had 9 assists in a season. Obviously he can do better than he is currently doing and a manager can help him become a better player
Sad that it has come to this. 
I remember he was the only ray of hope during some of the dark times under the managers from VG to ETH. His rise to the top come out of nowhere and it was a joy watching an academy grad do so well for the club. I think Ole mismanaged him and overplayed him at times when he was having some injury issues and things have looked a bit off from then.
I guess it would be good for both parties to part ways. He needs to resurrect his career in his prime playing somewhere else and we need a different profile of attacking playing for our front three. Rashford needs to go play for a counter-attacking side and we need a player who is more comfortable on the ball & is good in tight spaces.
I hope a solution can be found pretty early in January without too much fuss. It would be annoying if this drags on.
I'll always wish him well and follow his progress where ever he goes.

similarly dele alli is a player who scored 18 league goals and had 8 assists in a season... would you say yes to us buying him since we may have a manager to turn him good?
Probably has another 4-5 months to turn it around. Otherwise out the door in the summer.
Thats if PSG or Saudi come in for him. Can't see him or his brother willing to take a paycut to leave.

I wonder how long we are going to be talking about that season. Also this is a manager that could have helped him but a month into the new regime, HE has downed his tools not the manager.
Shouldnt he be more energized and show the manager he can change from the previous regime? It shows the weak willed mindset of a player when he wants to leave after being left out of the team once. His ego is bigger than his mentality!

Martial also had a 30 goal season didn’t he, or thereabouts? Get him back too. De Gea can replace Onana given he’s our best post SAF player. Stick with mediocrity till it comes good I say.
Whilst I know it is absolutely for the best it does still feel like a bit of a punch to the stomach.
Since Sir Alex retired he is probably the player I liked the most in the first few years when he came through.
He's been a better player than some would lead you to believe but the spark has certainly gone (I suspect in part through his body being ground down).
Very sad but hopefully he gets a good move abroad and we improve our attack. Ideally he moves in January so it doesn't linger.

Rashford is the only player to score 30 for us since Sir Alex retired.
Only others who got close were Bruno, Lukaku and Ibrahimovic.
Can imagine if we are arsenal fans, we would have never got rid of Aubameyang since he scored 31 and 29 goals in two seasons.
or if we are bayern fans we would be stuck with mario gomez who scored 41 goals in a season.
some causal fans are too obsessed with G/A stats.
Just go man. He has been underperforming for years now. Add to that his drama. He was dropped for a game and decided to overreact.
I hope he leaves in January and I wish him all the best

Going to the media like this is just silly. I mean the coach did not question your professionalism. He simply stated fact that your selection is based on training. One setback and he's running to the media, is not a good look.
He could have opted to just shut up, show up in training and do his very best when selected but this interview just confirms what people have doubted for so long. It's also easy enough to let the manager know that you'll be leaving at the end of the season and the club would have facilitated that. But no, you have to be a man child about it and go crying to his favourite pr guy.

He's a much better player than a lot of people in this thread are saying. The simple fact is that we're changing system and to fit in he would need to learn a new role and doesn't appear willing to do so. He would also need to start pressing, something Ten Hag (and others) failed to get from him. There'll be some good clubs after him, I'm sure of that. The huge contract will force the price down unfortunately.
It’s not the formation that made his form dip. He’s not been performing well for years. Add to that an attitude. He is a player who, unfortunately, failed to live up to expectations. It’s mental I think, not sure what exactly but he seems to he disconnected and lost interest
Marcus has done a lot on and off the pitch that's top drawer but its been plainly obvious for two, maybe three seasons now that somethings just not firing and maybe that move is good for all. Sad to see him go and when he does he should go with everyone's best wishes.
Almost as delusional as Rashford’s latest comments to the media.
At his best, yes he’s hard to replace. But he’s barely at his best and that’s the player we’re actually replacing. He’s one of the worst player in the league when he’s not at his best.

Have to admit that I agree with Craig burley and frank lebeouf here. Starting from 3:30 if anyone interested.
Rashford had 39 and 22 goal involvements that season in all comes and premier league respectively. Martial got 34 and 23 respectively a few seasons before.
People eulogise about that season as if it’s one of the greatest individual seasons we’ve witnessed in the PL. He was good but we’ve seen similar in the post SAF United era.
More importantly, you’ve missed the point. That season is in the past - he’s been poor for 3/4 seasons and this is a player who is all about stats. Outside of stats, which are also now sub par, he’s not a very good player and a tactical headache to have - can’t hold the ball up, bad in tight spaces, doesn’t link up well, poor decision making and terrible off the ball. Basically when his output is good you bear with the poor general play as opposed to players who are general good and also produce end product.
Move on.
Hes our joint top scorer in the league
I'm comparing him to our current players, plenty who are doing the same or worse. Hojlund has 2 less goals than him in the league
Can't wait for the PR flood incoming in and certain journos saying how Amorim should be sacked for his treatment of a club legend. Get rid, his image is more important to him than our club. Not bothered one bit even if he leaves on a free. He's literally done this interview because he got dropped, like his version of Ronaldos Piers Morgan interview. He should get dropped again for doing it.
Wonder which club will come in for him. It has to be PSG or one of the Saudi or US teams. Will he want to go to Saudi though?
Yeah, Rashford
Don't understand why he had to come out and do an interview. Bad decision.
What was the point of this article? He could have easily secured a move away from press limelight.
Rashford does need a move away. Hopefully he kick start his career somewhere else

There's zero chance he'll go to Saudi.
I know people want to demonize anyone that wants to leave United, but the guy obviously has decent morals outside of football. Hell you could even say it's been to the detriment of his football at times.
I can see him going to Italy, he'll have seen the resurgence McTominay is having over there and the pace of the game would suit him a lot more

Rashford seems to me like someone who needs to express himself. I dont mind it. Its best for both parties to move on. He wont play in england anyway.
Don’t bother, the whole post reeks of begging for a like.
