You just gonna keep ignoring the part about a conveniently cut video then
Real mature
Yeah the fact that the video didn’t document the fan’s life to date is suspicious

Where did I say it was wrong? Don’t think you got my point. My criticism was of his advisors who leaked that reason or if false the journo that made it up.Having some basic understanding of life would
make sense too. Getting away from the pressure and resetting himself mentally is probably a very good thing for him to do right now.
Fans seem to have some sense of entitlement where they expect players to be robots and not humans.
There is nothing wrong with him taking a break at this time and if you believe there is, you need to give your head a wobble

He will end up at Palace. There is not a hope in hell that a top club would want him for the salary he is currently paid.
He will want to stay in England. He reacts badly to anything that isn’t pandering (throws strop if not played in his favourite position) and adulation so he’s going to want to remain in England.
‘Did you know during the first lockdown in the UK I campaigned for the temporary continuation of free meals for certain school age children?’ won’t really buy him two years of excuses in Spain or Italy
Dear Master Yodo “Rashford leaving the U.K. to clear his head”Why assume anyone leaked anything.
Timing you said also
This, consider the fact that Liverpool are negotiating with Salah the BPIW right now and refusing to offer him what he is demanding and look at United being manipulated into offering Rashford an undeserved mega deal you then see where we are losing it - Liverpool are winning in the boardroom and their success there inevitably reflects onto the pitch.I wish his agent was really finding out which clubs could be his next and then brought in the offers.
The truth is, top club won't get near him for his terrible performance , the mid table clubs can't afford his spoiled appetite of money and fame. How crazy is that his PR team mentions Liverpool interests in him ? Even their worst forward Origi were performing better than Rashford and Origi did not receive satisfactory contract renewal.
If Rashford is really considering how he can get his career back on track, then I do can offer two cents:
- Dismiss the PR team and get away from all social medias. They are just toxic at this moment. You can re-join once you win back the title , then those words there at least won't make you depressed.
- Hire those personal trainers whoever Ronaldo hired at his 24, and follow exactly how Ronaldo did before. The way you trained is WRONG: make you bulky but lose stamina and acceleration.
- Speak up with your teammates and improve together. You all play as a team , they know what to expect from you and some time can lend you some tricks to improve. Besides, you no longer a youngster, if your teammates stink, then you are obligated to level up their standard as well.

Someone told or journalist made up. Rashford receive lot abuse this make abuse worse. Fragile state Rashford in.. bad action by advisor or journalist if lie
Rashford will not settle for West Ham. He'll be wanting Madrid, Barcelona or PSG.
Always loved Ian for his honesty.
feck the haters and no need to apologize to them.

That might explain his reaction but doesn't justify him trying to spin the narrative of the situation.
for me that's the most aggravating factor that he himself see's nothing wrong with his actions.
The letter itself only polarizes the fan base and if anything should have simply apologized and moved on. This situation is entirely of his own making. Of course I would have a completely different opinion had he actually been abused by the fan in question.
What you want is one thing. But if fate has decide for you. If its already written in the stars. Dont go against it. Your fate and destiny is CF boy.
We dont always get what we want. When thing comes as less expected. Meant to happen. Yeah follow it.
Martial was injury during warm up. LVG decided or he had only really good option up front. LVG put and play Rashford as CF.
Rashford scoring both goals inside the box. And when its meant to happen that way. Martial injury and you got the chance as CF. The ball will come and find the way to you. And you will be at the right place and right time for the ball. He had that "right time at right place ability" Like United legend Ole champion league goal against Bayern. If it meant to happen. The ball will come to you.
But back to Rashford 2022. For i have always disagree with Ole and Ragnick picking and playing Rashford as Left and right winger. And throwing him around. Not specialize him as his starting career match as CF, be most of the inside the box. We can be best on all roles and postions. My philosophy and prefer have always been. Best peoples and players for specific roles and positions. If you want RW or LW. Go and get the best and natural Wingers/wide players.
And after Lukaku was leaving. United and Ole prefer experience, but CF in Ighalo, Cavani, Ronaldo and Martial who is lacking that killer instinct and straight shoot strikers. All those years. With not success. United could specialize and developt Rashford to a 100 % CF like Vardy and Lewandoski. Both had play as CF in theirs whole careers. Theirs get the chance to practise and specialize as CF. Then naturally it will rise your killer instict and sharpness infront of goals. Because practising you get during match days are crucial. More natural set up then training sessons.
Nothing to hide or to defend. His isolation and individual performances hasnt been good and consistent. But i can show it back to history. If the collective is poor and collapsing. Then the poor collective team playing will affect invidual performances too.
And it has been went back to Ole last two years. Before Bruno came and LVG period where All of Rooney, Falcao, Di Maria, Martial and Rashford were struggling. Clearly the biggest reasons of United attacking struggling were due to collective build up of the attack. The collective team playing. United were in a poor period. United ship were out of direction and sinking. It does affect invidual performaces too. Special if the goal and direction of that ship are winning the league or get top 4.
And the collective team playing. This responsibility is down most to the manager/head coach. The team he set up. The combination and relations between the players.
Both Ole set up McFred in most of theirs games. Even they had other options. Both went for save and counter attack set up.
And for me personally. If you set up for counter attack. Not going out there to playing on the front foot. Try to dominate and control the ball and match from beginning. I read and rate it as underdog mentally team and club. You know your opponents teams are better than you. Then you set up to counter. So its clearly underdogs mentality and defensive mindset. Opposite of playing on the front foot like Pep, Klopp and Bayern.
So looking at the bigger picture. Only limit at the ground perspective. Not taking all the club structure like owner and CEO and Dof.
The managers Ole and Ralf have to take the big blames for it. Ole definitely said he will play UNited way and on the front foot in the beginning. But when things get tougher and harder. Ole became safer, took lesser risk and go for safe bet and choices like McFred most of the time Pobga as LW.
And with my United squad analizing. Ralf hasnt play the United best XI yet and he hasnt get the best out of his squad. Why? Reason are here.
Like i said. I believe more in relations and reasons that lead to big chances and goals. Not only at the end product which is goals. The mind, creative, build up and consistent top service United attacking players will get.
Then like Ole. Safe CM duo choices. Which many fans have experience, react and believe they are not good enough to win the league and hard to get top 4 with that CM duo.
Like against Watford. McFred duo when United could go for Pobga there instead. Against second bottom team at home. Why was United so defensive and safe go into the match with that line up?
And to get the best out of United squad. Personally for me. I believe this is United best XI. 442
Bissaka - Varane - Jones - Shaw + Sancho - Bruno/Pobga - McFred - Martial/Rashford + Rashford/Bruno - Ronaldo/Cavani.
I disagree like against Ole. Safe choice and decision line up. He has to trust Pobga as nr.8. Motivate him, give and boost his confidence. Not by using him as LW, as nr.10. Then Pobga like Rashford from Left to right winger. "Where are i best at?The manager use and throw me around. To find the best XI.
If not trusting Pobga. Then you have an alternative and another option. Bruno down as the creative and offensive nr.8. Then go with 2 CF upfront.
And a hint. United upcoming left winger in Garnacho from the United u23. I think he is more clinical than Sancho as left winger. Garnacho is a left winger with a more natural goalscoring ability. Get his first up call with Argentina. And for the benefit of the team. United need the best and most natural RW as RW. And its Sancho. Sancho one on one ability is a lot better than Rashford and i think Sancho crosser from the right is more precise than Dalot and Rashford.
Sancho for the benefit of team shall play as RW. Sancho as left winger doesnt have the pace and top speed to receive trough ball and to come alone with the goalkeeper. Rashford does has the top acceleration, eplosiveness and top speed to receive trough ball against opponents high back line like City and Liverpool.
So with addition with the more clinical left winger and attacking player Garnacho. Line up could be like this:
Sancho - Bruno/Pobga - McFred - Rashford/Garnacho + Bruno/Lingard/Rashford + Ronaldo/Cavani/Rashford
Those are United best XI line up. In my mind. Reason i disagree and believe both Ole and Ralf havent get the best out of United squad. Under achievement and havent start and give United best XI line up to gel over a long period of matches. To let them understand and gel them into a unit strong collective.
Nr.8 has to be the team most offensive and most creative player. On a consistent level. The mind and creative of them. Every strong and good attacking team start from it. Then you build on it. With others strong reasons, puzzles and positions. Get the best ingredients for each positions. And with all the best ingredients for each postions. Together and combine. It will lead to the end product, result and the bigger picture. A strong, good, dominate and consistent collective unit. A strong United.
I believe in interdepence. Strong and good relations between units of a team. Together it will build a strong collective. Not only blame on on player. The collective playing of United is so poor. Compare to the best teams.
That's how I see it playing out. He's trying to create leverage hence the leak. A new manager will come in, he will be motivated and get a new deal.
Clubs like Palace can't afford to pay Rashford type wages.He will end up at Palace. There is not a hope in hell that a top club would want him for the salary he is currently paid.
I read yesterday about a woman in Ukraine who'd given birth to 6 kids and adopted another 6. She'd recently died on the frontline defending her Country.
Really puts the "struggles" of multi millionaire Marcus Rashford MBE into perspective.
So you think the journalist lied? Like i said in that case he should be fired. Because he is inciting more abuse onto a person who is already showing signs of struggling with something.Or a very simple answer. A journalist finds out Rashford (amongst others have been given 5 days off Rashford amongst others is planning on traveling).
Said Journalist writes a sensationalist headline
Silly fans react to sensationalist headline, as if this isn't something journalists do all the time.
Regardless whether klopp likes him or not its well known liverpool and united dont deal with each other. Really amatuer stuff from his team, and widening the line between the player/fans. Players in the past might have been worth a public standoff with credit in the bank for what they brought to the team and being top of their game, Rashford has little and a tier below in quality. his bargaining chip is his media value and not the playerI wish his agent was really finding out which clubs could be his next and then brought in the offers.

Embellishing the truth is lying, usually when people embellish the truth they do it to have a positive outcome on either themselves or someone else.No I think he/she did what they all do, sensationalisee and embellish the truth.
He is going abroad, I doubt anyone told them it was to get away from the stress.
I think the wider issue with Rashford seems to be his temperament and mentality. Off-field situations who knows but I do find it strange that many seem to assume footballers are outside of being prone to vulnerabilities such as mental breakdowns, states of depression and anxiety due to how much they earn or their profession. As if what someone earns offers them some exclusivity from mental insufficiency.
Exactly, the two post below yours allude to the attitude I’m referring about the attitude that some people have about people with money. They think at money is some kind of armour.. on the contrary I’d think people in the limelight who face regular online abuse, can’t go out and enjoy a stroll without being asked for a selfie etc face a different struggle to the average person. Not saying one easier than the other, it just depends on each person and how they are wired to deal with it.The recent comments about his heart not being set on leaving, can't see why this isn't anything but a contract negotiation ploy. Similar situation happening at present with the defender at Barcelona.

You could actually say that the famous are in even more danger to these aptitudes for a range of reasons: consistently in the public eye, persistent pressures, high expectations etc. Behind every profession, career and job is a person.
It is pretty weird, but it gets them their 15 minutes of fame if they can goad the player into a reaction.Im sure he is embarrassed at least. BUT.
Grown men playing "I am shook" at being given the finger by someone are outright, and flat out lying their asses off. No one are "shocked" about a middle finger, and especially not genuinely offended.
I can not stand these dramamerchants that go online for attention, and I especially cant stand people who spend their free time harassing someone for not playing football well.
I don't know why most are attributing his poor form and lack of effort to mental health, something which is serious enough to avoid trivializing for a spoilt brat upset that he isnt playing his favorite position, lost his 'arm around the shoulder manager' and that a few players earn more than him.The issue that I have with Rashford at this particular point:
- I understand he’s human and everyone has ups and downs
- Mental health is a bitch - if his head’s not right then the end product simply won’t be there
- He’s had the pressure of fronting the global brand that is Manchester United
- He’s been played to death through three significant injuries, one of which could have been (or could still be) career shortening
- He has clearly worked incredibly hard previously, to get to this point
However, he’s now in an incredibly privileged position of playing for his boyhood club, earning an objectively offensive wage to play football. He has earned, at 24, more than many millions would earn in 10 lifetimes, but now appears, from what is released to us as fans, to not be trying. He appears to go on that pitch, run around a little and then stroll around the pitch waiting for something to happen.
To think that these performances over the last 12-18 months have been worth £200,000 per week is horrific and the implication from press releases are that his ‘team’ are trying to put pressure on United to offer him a new contract with improved terms.
Yes that’s their job but where is his ability to reflect and self-critique? The fact that he, via his team, believes he’s worth more than what he’s currently on is frankly a joke!
I don’t believe I’m alone in this, but if it’s a mental health issues, I would actually have more respect for him if Rangnick came out and confirmed, “Marcus has asked to be removed from selection for the remainder of the season as he has to concentrate on issues beyond the pitch right now.”
The club should just start a therapy dept for what its worth. The excuses are growing on a daily basis.maybe Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Lingard, and AWB all have mental health issue too. We need to spare them.
United sacked Ole was too harsh. He probably had mental health issue also.
Maybe we should retain Mata for another 4 years. He might have mental health issue, whatnot he turned shite.
