One of the most worrying things is his decision making hasn't improved since he broke through and ability to beat players has also regressed too.
Rashford considering his future...
- Thread starter Jericholyte2
- Start date
My thoughts too.If he wants to leave,pls let him leave.When Rooney wanted to leave in 2010 I was terrified of the very thought of losing him…But if Marcus wants to leave,then so be it.He’s nowhere near Wayne Rooney level,so he can leave with your blessings…
Wow, that's a serious serious underrating of Vardy.
It was mainly a joke.
Don't take me to serious but I hate that music with all it's swearing and threats and attitude lyrics etc etc.
It's because I saw pics of him with a rapper in the middle east. To me, not the best type to hang around if we want him to have the right attitude to play for our club.
All you rappers out there, sorry just my opinion.
He's going to be dropped from the England team as well. Does that mean he's reconsidering his England future? Changing allegiances maybe?
No excuse to his horrible form.

I should think given he is hopelessly out of form, that he is considering his future... but he might be better concentrating on the here and now. The club needs to help him, but also Marcus needs to listen and respond properly, not sure he is in the right frame of mind though, his body language on the pitch is becoming very reminiscent of Martial's.
He’s never really recovered from his back injury has he? He really needs to go back to the basics that got him into the team in the first place.
IF he really is fed up with life at United then sell (with buy back) for the highest possible fee

This place is a lot more reasoned than the Rashford performance thread. Over there he's been described as "everything that's wrong with the club".
That's about his PR and brand, and does align with what the club is becoming
it has actually gone worse. His decision making is so frustrating to watch.
his body language is also terrible. I’m not sure if his facial expressions mean lack of interest or frustration. I really don’t know, he seems to lack enthusiasm. this man seems he forgot how to smile.
Good, feck off
If ever anyone needed reassuring Rashford should move on….
… Paul Merson thinks he should stay.
(I like his “if I was going in as United manager”. As if anyone would let you manage their club. I’m amazed he manages to get up each day and tie his shoelaces)

Overpaid and underperforming with a inflated sense of their own talent and worth.
A legend in his own mind.
Proof that football pundits don’t actually watch football and anyone on this site could do go and do punditry. It’s dead easy to be a pundit. You don’t even need to have played at amateur level
Actually Sky already do that with that Saturday Social show, where a bunch of Fortnite players give their opinions and some of them are hamplanets.
Jobs in football that don't seem to go to people based on logic:
Management positions - hey you were really good at kicking a ball so there is no reason you won't be better than people that have dedicated their lives to coaching, tactics and man management skils
Commentators - As long as you can mostly remember players names you are golden. Don't worry about having two eyes because commentators quite often appear to be watching a completely different game to the rest of us.
Pundits - You played football 20 years ago and occasionally still watch a bit, I'm sure you can dissect and analyse the state of teams and managers and totally won't have any bias towards your old team or your favoured style of player.
He also represents the best of the club. Man’s got to improve but he’s shown enough in the past to be given another season to turn it around. If he plays well he can talk about a new contract.
Leicester & most clubs in the Premier require all players including the CF to work hard for 90 minutes. Vardy at 35 runs his ass off every game & Rashford could never fill his spot. Giving the lad 200 large a week has totally ruined him !!
Aptly put
Could learn a thing or two from old Benzema. Put more workrate in that one match vs PSG compared to Sir Rashford this whole season combined
He does not justify the wages he is collecting every week. If possible, sell him and re-invest in a talented player who is ready to give his all for the team.

Ragnick said back time that Rashford was one of the best striker in premier league. And when Uniteds center forward were out of injury Cavani and Ronaldo. Ragnick play Pobga as a false 9 and CF. Ahead of a natural CF in Rashford. It will help on the players confidence and as a manager you actually is playing with peoples mind. If the manager doesnt get a explanation.
Same with Pep doing with City. Playing all not natural CF and attacking players ahead of a natural CF in Gabriel Jesus. All decend CF in football will score a lot of goals playing for City. With the consistent service from really really good attacking players in Bruyne, Mahrez, Foden, Gundogan and Silva. Pep just want to be smart and playing smart. The truth are the consistent top service City attacking players. Players like mentioned dont need to coach to playing well attacking football. They are top level on creative and skill ful with the ball. So no matter what Pep is trying to do with City. Lucky him he has work with top world class players in Messi and Barca, Bayern and City. Pep would be in trouble if he manage current Everton or Southampton squad.
Again. If a manager pick a midfield player ahead of a natural CF. If you dont explain and have a good argument for it. Then you are playing with peoples and players confidence and mind. If no CF are available. Its understandable to play a creative midfield player upfront. But Pobga doesnt have the top speed and acceleration to play a CF special set up for counter attack.
And the problem with United struggling to score not only they were not clinical. But the biggest reason is the manager keep playing McFred. Even against second bottom of the table in Watford. At home. Are you so that safe. That against Watford. You dont have guts to start with a lot more attacking midfield or XI?Shall not United as team go out and dominate Watford?Starting with two ballwinner CM against Watford. It just show me how much guts and risk you will take as person and manager.
So in the end. Ragnick same as Ole has play big part on Rashford poor form. Include a not good team and CM duo to achieve top 4. All units are related to each others. Each Units are no isolate from others units. Many times it start with the manager team selection and tactic. Which energy, guts and mind he is go into the game and spread to his players.

Nonsense. It is all all down to Rashford himself. It is not Ole or Ralf who is stopping from making an effort. It is not the managers who makes him trying to dribble past 4 players.
Did Ralf tell him to stand still in the middle of the pitch while the ball was taken past him and City almost scored. When you play professional football no matter where you are played you make an effort and not sulk.
This is what annoys me with pundits, I have watched every single minute of every United game for the last 15+ years so I believe I can judge with credibility our players form. But I couldn't do the same with ANY other team, and I wouldn't try to. These pundits watch the odd game of ours, or more than likely just the highlights and see Rashford's previous stats when he was scoring and laud him as a world class player. Yet when you watch all our games he offers so little it's unreal.
I would love to see some stats for his overall distance running, his tracking back, successful interceptions, successful passes, successful dribbles, assists, key passes, number of shots and percentage of shots on target. I think those stats would be pretty damning. Especially when compared to what the pundits would deem lesser teams forwards.
I've always been a huge fan of Marcus. However he just looks jaded and uninspired when he comes on the field nowadays. Maybe a new club is the best solution for both player and club. But with that said I'm convinced a top club will get him and he'll show his full potential there, get his game together and we wonder yet again what the feck is wrong with our club.
Possible destinations for him?
Who would pay top dollar for him?

I've been reasonably vocal on here as not getting why he's dropped off a cliff for the best part of 2 seasons now, but I also am curious if we shouldn't at least give him a few games at number 9. We struggle so much right now as there's no one to play into the space behind, which creates pockets for Bruno and wide players. Despite all his issues, Rashford is outrageously rapid, and a huge threat to centre backs if played through.
I'd at least consider it while we have no fit forwards. Is a better plan 2 false 9s.

Newcastle?
He’s fvcking shite…and unfortunately most of his potential suitors will realise this too
Lack of coaching.
The owners of Newcastle are not stupid (like ours).
Their owners want to build a club to dominate the league and Europe. They won't pay top dollar for players like Rashford. Mbappe on the other hand.....
PSG. They need Mbappe and Di Maria replacement and PSG would approve this as Rashford has proved himself that he's good for them as he always score goals against them.
Agreed in principle but these projects usually don't go from Jonjo Shelvey to Veratti immediately after the acquisition. Hopefully Rashford will be to Newcastle what Damian Duff was to Chal$ea.
The problem is it's not as if we haven't tried Rashford up front in the past. It's not worked. He has pace, certainly, but not much else relevant to the role.
Doesn't have the best movement around the box to get on the end of things, has absolutely no presence which made it very hard to build, not good at controlling the ball when it's played into him and retaining possession. It gives us a lot of headaches. I realise much of this applies to current Ronaldo but I don't see much to alleviate things with Marcus.
I think there's a pretty good reason he's considered a last resort.
Has been a distinct lack of that for years

Before last week's tweets/reports, I wouldn't expect that Rashford would be the leaker or at least, one of them. So, so disappointing of a behaviour. He is still young enough to change, admit his mistakes and get back to basics. Otherwise, what a letdown.
Duff was a far superior player to Rashford, 10x the player.
I can't remember which game it was recently that he lost a foot race with a CB. I was really surprised as he was very quick at least before he lost his form. Ronaldo is a very good header of the ball and is a much better player even now than Rashford. Yes he does not have the pace anymore but his awareness is a lot better than Rashford. Rashford really infuriates me. He hardly makes an effort now.
