Rashford considering his future...

Nobody actually cares about the incident and half of us wouldn't have seen the video had team Rashford not come out with a cringe statement where they clearly lied about Rashford giving the middle finger(again not a big deal so need need to lie).

United fans don't want to see this rubbish from Rashford the night after our seasons's been effectively finished in mid March. Especially not after month upon month of bad performances and lack of effort. His mask has slipped and no amount of PR will change that. You can't kid the fans forever.
 
So that’s PSG, Barca, Liverpool first to be linked @AneRu . As I said, we won’t be selling him for £50m and if he leaves United he’ll go to one of the best teams in Europe for sure.

My god we got some serious snowflakes here. Get a grip of yourself lads. Absolute muppets thinking the evidence in the video is "abuse". :lol:

If Rashford is getting upset by that, then we are fecked going forwards because imagine what kind of mental breakdown he's going to have every time he goes to take a corner or hug the touchline near opposing fans. He's going to need rehab.

Not only was it not that abusive, but seemed to be frustration from fans waiting after the game to get autographs.

Whole situation seemed OTT and all high on emotions. Don't have any strong opinion on the matter, nor taking a side on this one

He just isn't good enough and this is the situation that has led to many of our problems we keep hanging on to these players and then can never move them on.

It would be a disaster to offer him a new contract, especially after the calamity of the Lingard, Jones and Pogba situations.
 
I know several people who regularly deal with the United and City players on a regular basis eg in airport lounges etc.

The feedback is the same throughout - the city players are polite, pleasant and engaging whereas the United players are - with a couple of exceptions - arrogant, unpleasant and standoffish. Far from being an exception, Rashford is often used as an example.

This is just another example. Too many of our players think they're too important to say please and thank you. They're too important to give the fans 30 seconds of their precious time. Hell, some of them are too important to even give their all for their manager.

I don't doubt Rashford is going through a tough time and I hope the club is helping him through it; but there's no excuse for this. Manners and courtesy cost nothing, and should be a prerequisite for anyone, let alone someone like Rashford who is living an incredibly privileged existence, paid for in part by the fans he was abusing.

The reaction by the PR team has made matters worse. His team sending press releases out linking him with our rivals has poured further fuel on the flames. It even seems like his political work is for himself rather than the disadvantaged in society nowadays.

I'm happy to keep supporting Rashford on the pitch - hard as it is to keep doing so given his performances - but he, and quite a few others need to take a good hard look in the mirror, and reacquaint themselves with some basic manners and courtesy.

I think you should lump then in with people getting their knickers in a twist over someone saying a few heated words and sticking up a finger no?
 


Even Liverpool mentioned, although that would never happen.

Yes, also true. Everyone, Rashford and the bloke are a bunch of soft arsed tarts to be honest.

If Barca can stump up £60+m, we should take it. If they can stump up some cash and send Frenkie our way…even better!

I’d probably swap anyone of our squad, except Sancho for Frenkie! Still, we should absolutely no way be accepting £60m for Rashford in this market. I’d be looking at £90m at the minimum personally.

Hard to disagree really I don’t get why he’s apologised. If fans give you abuse and you give a bit back it’s fair game I think, don’t give it if you can’t take it.

Wright’s just being a twat. A footballer has a duty to behave when employed by the club, not offering on fans looking for selfies. Seems like a sly dig at United fans, wonder would he be the same if Guendouzi did it to Arsenal fans?

They are humans, some of you have expectations that are out of sync with reality.

They gave him stick and he gave it back, it’s a nothing story, people getting upset about it are too soft.

Dumb comment. Let's send off our homegrown guy who has scored more goals than anyone post Sir Alex, who is only 24, just had his first bad season after multiple good and promising years. Because keeping him as a fringe starter is definitely a bigger problem for us and our future than the non existent RW that we have, a 72 year old strikeforce, the lack of a defensive midfielder, whatever the feck you call our fullback situation...

I’d be fully behind Rashford if it had been racist abuse aimed at him or the level of abuse Beckham got after Word cup 98 (wishing death on his wife, cancer to his little boy etc).

But a few fans calling the team out for a shit performance? Terrible from Rashford to act like that. Once again Ian Wright looks like a numpty.

I forgot that Beckham actually got worse back then. He came out stronger though. Not sure Rashford is the same, if he got what Beckham's got back then i think he would leave England never to comeback i think.

No way anyone is paying that amount on current form tbh.

It may be but Barca we’re interested in him around 2019/2020 and £100m was being mooted at the time. We weren’t entertaining it though as he was playing so well.
 
he's playing like shit and he's frustrated. Best thing he can do is go out and have a good performance, or at least look like he gives a dam when he is out there.

People forget barca are not awash with cash. They won't be signing many non free transfers. If any.

A PSG reviving interest is more realistic.

Nothing dumb about it, i've watched basically his whole career from when he made it to the first team home and away from the stands, it was obvious then he wasn't good enough its even more obvious now.

Need to separate the emotional of bond that he is from manchester and the actual quality and talent on show and if you really do aspire to put united back at the top rashford wouldn't get into any of the competing teams first 11 and he isn't going to sit quietly and be humble on the bench that is blatantly clear.

Exactly. Without knowing the full context it does seem like they were shouting "come on rashford....after that performance"...... seemingly requesting him to sign autographs and hoping he would be more inclined to do it after "that performance". Fans are clearly frustrated, but I heard absolutely nothing abusive being said until Rashford lost his shit.

Perhaps - but I think they’d play ball for a swap deal if we were seriously entertaining the interest.
 
I think Marcus is a good guy who is in a negative head-space right now. I wish he had just apologised because it would have been the best way to move forward.

What is says about fans isn't on, it's elitists mentality.

This bit isn't in response to you Dec

At a boarder level it seems the "questioning" players performances is a failure of the club to listen/implement. This notion that players shouldnt have feedback is no more ridiculous than providing feedback on goods or services I'd purchased elsewhere. I just couldn't image a waiter(ess) trying to dig someone out for poor service, poor food etc or having the brass neck to say what Wright has said. The club retweeting MRs remarks is shocking.

It sticks.

They wouldn’t pay £60m on ‘current form’ either. In fact, they wouldn’t pay £10m on current form. They wouldn’t be signing him based on current form. They’d be signing him because they have know about, and probably held an interest in him for years.
