If Sancho is the long term LW for the team, I don't see any place for rashford in the squad tbh. He still has some good value in market, so probably selling him for a good price is the best option.
Rashford considering his future...
- Thread starter Jericholyte2
- Start date
The lad has more power at United than Fergie ever had!
Cheers, knew he was being a hypocrite.
fecks sake. Never been good enough now? He was plenty good enough up until 2021. Then he hit a slump. He had back to back seasons of over 20 goals. Back to back seasons of double digit assists as well didn't he? Excellent underlying stats, particularly before the stress fracture in his spine. Always made himself available for the club. Always showed up in big moments.
You're talking out of your ass. Claiming he has never been good enough is fecking stupid and laughably blind. No 2 ways about it.
He's right in the whole "if you can give you can take it" thing. And that fan, despite what people believe on here, was certainly provoking a reaction from Rashford, which is exactly what he got. That'd be fine if simply told the guy to feck off ala Mike Basset, but instead he crosses the line by offering him out. It's not on and he knows it, hence the follow-up apology.
But as I said yesteday, Rashford doesn't react to twatish hecklers 12 months ago, the fact that he did the other night just goes to show his in a poor mental state.
Or you know, using him as a squad player? Sancho can be used on either wing. Rashford can play up top or on the right occasionally but is best as a LW. Do City sell Bernardo Silva, Sterling, Grealish, Gabriel Jesus, Mahrez because they don't necessarily start every game? No they have a group of attackers to rotate with and push each other on. We have Sancho, Rashford..... martial..... Elanga.... Amad...??? You're saying we sell Rashford, leading us to need to sign a starting striker, a backup striker, a starting winger, and a depth winger now. Its literally horrible squad management to sell a player like Rashford after a bad year when he can provide so much.
Ridiculous. Of course the fans have right to criticise player’s performance. It’s like customer has right to criticise food to cooks not just the owner and the restaurant manager are allowed to do it. On top of that, there were kids there waiting outside and he showed a middle finger. It shows his immaturity.
I reckon all this comes down to is Rashford‘s contract expiring next summer and him posturing for a new deal. It’s easy to get caught up in the details of it now but it’s exactly the sort of scenario we used to dismiss as shenanigans because the player is negotiating a new contract.
Rashford knows what he’s worth to the club from a brand perspective and he knows how weak our hand is right now. With the Greenwood situation, Ronaldo, Cavani and Martial.
Im calling it now, he will get his bumper new contract and be happy again by next season.

or standards have fell so much you really believe the above.
Rashford is not a top top player never has been never will be, if he was willing to rotate and play as part of a squad be a valuable asset, but i have little faith he would take on such a role.
For all you people who think the fan was wrong and it's abuse.
I have seen Robbo being screamed at using the F word and what did he do? Just nodded and looked sadly. He was having a horrible game that day. He didn't say anything back to the fans. He was within touching distance.
Rashford is not fit to even lace Robbo's boots. One thing you can never accuse of Robson is not trying.
Fans are unhappy with Rashford not because of his lack of form. But for more than a season he couldn't be arsed to make an effort. That's what it is. This rewriting of history that's it's his lack of form is the issue should be straightened out.

Any Barca fans on here? I'd love to know their opinion on signing him and what they think would be a fair price.
Good post.
No just the ones that give it and cant take it back. Whether they pay or not....
That's Wrighty out of a few jobs then.
Dembele been on fire. I would take a swap deal. Sancho on left, Dembele on right would be nice for us. At the end of the day, we are stacked on that left side. We need a left footed player who can play on the right. I would take Dembele or Raphinha
Assuming this is true, who are the polite United players?
If we dare pay this guy even more money then this club really does deserve to continue to be seen as a complete circus.
I can understand the tension between him and the fans. They are basically frustrated with each other.
Rashford cant seriously be saying he is the most critical person of his own performance though. I dont like statements like these when they are padded with things like "I went through hell for the club, I am strong and I know everything, I am most critical for my own performances" to paint himself way better out ot context. It smells like Lukaku, looks petty and adds nothing. Most of his fans arent 5 years old. How can he be the most critical person on the planet about his performance when he didnt even run nor press properly in some games. Is running hard for a football player? Id take Dan James over him just for the running alone.

Whatever your opinions are regarding these matters, overblown, exaggerated, deserved or not, I can't help but think that based on this latest PR statements, he is becoming more and more like Lukaku than I would have liked.
The guy mopes rounds the pitch can hardly string a pass together, i think every touch against Atletico he gave to the other team.
Its not a loss of form its a loss of effort of the most basic things you expect from any professional level footballer, huge difference and deserves all the criticism he gets about his football.

If his phone hasnt stopped ringing for one and a half months then his phone OS might be fecked you stupid bellend PR team. It is not an indication of interest from a team in Spain.
Of course this came out after his latest incident. Of fecking course. Protect the image at all cost. Shit on United and put pressure at the club when its already dead. Coming from a proper Mancunian player's PR team by the way.

I'll always back a player over goons screaming abuse, then getting their cameras out for occasional snaps.
Fans think they can scream whatever abuse they like, yet are straight on socials when they get even the hint of something back.

Seems like he's just fishing for comments so he can play victim.
If the report is true and all the fans who waited outside said is only "come on, after that performance" then he's a cry baby, it's not even an insult.
If I'm shit at my job my customer would rain shit on me everyday and twice on sunday, and that'll nothing that lenient

What? Its nothing to do with standards falling or not. Rashford was by every measure an excellent player until 2021. Then he hit his slump. Of course he can stay and have a role even if he isn't an automatic guaranteed starter. A properly managed squad, like City's, or Liverpool's, have multiple quality players that compete for places with each other. Who are the main starters from City's attacking group of 5/6 players? Nobody can even say. Liverpool have Salah, Mane, Jota, Firmino and Diaz. Only Salah has a locked in place.
United next season will likely have Sancho, Rashford, Martial, Elanga before even looking at selling one of these... We've got to buy multiple players anyway. You want to add get rid of Rashford on top and be left with pretty much just Sancho as a senior attacker in the squad (given Martial might leave as well)? Its craziness. He's not going anywhere not should he.
How does Rashford know if the guy on the video is the same one as the one who abused him on social media?
Barcelona and Liverpool in the most gigantic tug of war ever seen for a player, endlessly calling Rashford's phone to the point where he's had to switch to Lyca mobile
Of course he doesn't want to leave. He wants a new deal. He has around 15 months left on his current contract.
Of course fans have a right to criticize, I don't think anybody has said any different, but there are ways and means, just as there are if you want to criticize poor food or bad service.
But I hope that you'd approach the waiter or waitress politely and point out why you're unhappy, not shout and yell at them from halfway across the room and certainly not hang about outside so you can continue to harangue them when they leave.
Or these days maybe not, it seems everyone now has a sense of entitlement and the right to express it, and of course it's not just United fans, every club has their supporters who feel it's their right to say and do whatever they want.
And it's not even just footballers, unfortunately anyone these days who works in a public-facing role, whether it's waitresses or shop assistants, binmen or council workers has to put up with the 'I pay your wages' brigade.
I think you are totally over looking the fact it is he unhappy with reduced playing time due to his serious dip in form. Its seriously doubtful he'd ever be happy with a back up role. Making it a challenge to keep him
We've been here before with players and the sunken cost fallacy, thinking that if we keep playing them theyll come good. Sell him for as much as possible and even if he comes good elsewhere it has nothing to do with us. He's a complete mess to be honest, every feeling becomes a national story, fuelled by his team and his own posts. He did give the fans the finger and then he lied about it which also suggests a real lack of character for all the bluster. Maybe a coach could harness good from him but he needs to bin his current advisors 100%, and he quite obviously doesnt have the bandwith to juggle multiple pressures and needs to make football his sole focus.
You have to remember him and Lingard are not strong mentally and can be quite petty when it comes into protecting or promoting their images.
If you read their twitter timelines you can see how most of the stuffs written there look like they are generated by a robot especially when they have to apologize or explain an incident, they look nice but theres no soul in it. Are these football players or companies? and in those, there is at least one sentence that make them seem like they have worked really hard, they know about their performances the best, etc. Basically not wanting to take a full responsibility.
One should be at Westham since thats about his level but he keeps giving it the biggun once he has the high ground (e.g. after scoring a shitty goal that everyone will forget about the next week). And the other one is struggling for whatever issue but refuses to acknowledge it but instead started a drama of "considering his future". If you really want to leave or go elsewhere, do it like Martial at least. Speak to the manager when the time allows you to go.
These two academy players (and Pogba) are not like the other, they are separate organizations that have partnership with United. Not two players with contracts to play football for United.
Please Barcelona, take him....You were stupid enough to pay 140m for Coutiniho and 100+ for Dembele, please 50m will do...I will book his first class flight myself
Pure hypocrisy.
His socials, hmm. It's called social media, what an awful way of putting something, his scoials. What are ya, his fecking mate?
I don’t have much to say about the so called abuse or his reaction to it. However, the links to other clubs including Liverpool are laughably desperate 
All of this seems like playground tactics

Rashy in Spain or PSG would be brutal, the fans would have him in tears on a weekly basis. What the fan said in this instance is not ‘abuse’ ffs. If Rashy is that sensitive then maybe being a pro athlete at one of the most famous sports teams in the world isn’t for him. We’ve got a long break now so a few weeks off and completely shut off from social media might do him good.
I looks like Rashford was the abuser in this instance. Justification without apology doesn't look good. I think he is a wee bit too far up his own arse. I hope he returns to planet earth soon. Dissapointed with Wrighty.
would you yell your criticism across the restaurant then to use your comparison?
The kids are waiting outside to see their heroes which is great. There are obviously a strange group who stay behind after a game to shout criticism at players who havent performed. You think this is fine? what is the purpose of doing that? thats not support.... thats just intentionally venting at a player who is a bad place in terms of performance. what is the purpose of that? its not like Rashford hasnt been trying
I said Rashford over reacted and his poor performances coupled with the 'criticism' and abuse he receives is obviously affecting him mentally. Rashford has been a good pro and an example to others in the past. To see him react like that shows to me he is frustrated and under pressure rather than immature. When have we seen this before? The yelled criticism from fans isnt going to help that. These are exactly the kind of people who would have been yelling at Fergie in 1989 or 1990.
We'll agree to disagree but for me the fans play a role in encouraging players and supporting them when they are in bad places. You carry on though eh.
I hope rashford joins liverpool so that even the most deluded utd fan (@Nou_Camp99) is forced to give him dogs abuse.

When a player has been playing shit like Rashford, he should take the criticism like a man and be aware that the fans especially the ones who paid the money to attend the game are unhappy with his performance.
Criticism shouldn't be viewed the same way as abuse or hate because they are not the same thing. A mature employee would take criticism from customer like a man and use it to motivate yourself to improve your performance. The same with footballers, cooks, and everyone.
