Rashford considering his future...

The whole thing is ridiculous. He's not playing well so literally everything he does is wrong.
The fact that the last 5 pages on here are about PR and book releases says it all. I honestly feel like he Just doesn't care about football anymore. His dramatic Instagram apologies are only there to strengthen his public image of a well spoken high profile influencer. Very disappointing. He could have been a legend here. If he can't show a bit of fight and ability by the end of the season we need to move him on.
Basically, yes. I don't think people care about his book if he consistently performs well.
No, the fact that the last 5 pages are about his book is a testament to the state of this forum, not his passion for football.
More likely it says that United don’t have a game for three weeks than anything else.
Has anyone read it yet? It might be really good!
Don't think I need it, his football is enough to put me to sleep.
Luckily he doesn't play for Barcelona.
So if there was only say 1 or 2 pages of random people posting shite moaning about PR and Children's Books on an internet forum that Rashford himself has nothing to do with then it would indicate that he still does care about football?
All I can hope for is that he comes into some sort of form for the next season. With a lot of players leaving, I’m pretty sure the club wont sell him unless we get an outrageous offer (which we wont). Currently not looking good for that though…
What matter most is that he is now a 2-5 goal a season player, with headless chicken style of play.
It is a 100% cash grab move. Hey lets buy kids book written by the one who feeds the kid (like he write even a single word of it). Stolen from the poster above @Martial'sEmergingSmile

There's no indication that his off field activities have affected him. Rangnick recently said he's training well.
My feeling is that he is sulking about being made to play on the right. The sulking has led to a lack of effort, the fans have got on gis back and that has shattered his confidence.

Without a doubt. If players are performing, they can get away with (almost) anything in the eyes of the fans.
The lack of effort and seemingly lack of confidence has been going on a lot longer than he's been playing on the right. Hell, the lack of effort has been happening for three years now, although his general form was so good in that first season that nobody really talked about it. If you are playing brilliantly you can somewhat get away with some laziness. In the second season his form was bad but he was still getting goals and assists so it was still getting overlooked by some people. And then this season he's gotten worse again.
I dont care if mother theresa plays for us i still want her sold.
Applaud her for her works but shes a terrible footballer.
And the same case with rashford. Hes here to play football. I dont care what he does outside the field. I just want him sold because he sucks in it.

Mother Teresa was no Mother Teresa
Now please do not give ideas to Rashford's PR team. What if he decides to go into priesthood? It would become Father Rashford. Mother Teresa and Father Rashford will be too much.
This.
He looks miserable in that pic. I hope he can come back rejuvenated after this break, ready to smash it.
I loved watching Rashford a few years ago, as I'm sure most of us did. He was trending the right direction and then COVID hits and he takes his status of becoming a footballer super star and applies it to helping children and everyone loves it. He plays through Euros with an injury, placing national team pride over club team and with the mindset, they can win it. Win Euros, recover at Man Utd and no one is going to say a bad thing. But they lose, he comes back and hasn't played well, he still is using that fading star to come out with books. Some people are upset that he is promoting books, when he should be training, others do not care, as someone said, he probably puts in minimal effort into the books.
I'm assuming, Rushford's PR team is trying to cash in on as much of his bright star now, never knowing when a player's career/publicity can quickly go south. Rashford, rightfully believing this, is OK with the extracurricular activities; unfortunately, the magic is wearing off and wearing off quickly. If Rashford leaves, ends up somewhere else, and is bench ridden, that magic dust is gone and those books do not sell nearly as quickly.
Sooner or later, Rashford and his PR team are going to realize he needs to be the player he once was or accept the fact, he'll be bench ridden and no matter how many books he "writes," the sales won't be there.

I think the point with the books isn't that Rashford is sat in front of an oil lamp with quill and parchment all night after training.
It's just indicative of what we already know - he has an awful lot going on that is nothing to do with helping him in his day job. Whether it's giving light input into 3 books, or social media, or fashion businesses, or various charitable endeavours, or backslapping boxers, or some other commercial venture and the marketing of it.
When you're performing nobody questions it but his performances have declined to such an extent that Man Utd as his employers and the fans should be entitled to ask whether he's giving the correct attention to the job that got him into this position. At the very least we have to ask "how are you playing this poorly as a once promising player", and clearly there should be reasons, whether this is one of them out not.

Respect to Rashford usually with footballers you can tell their business ventures are just following the money eg property etc. with Rashford looks like his getting into something close to his heart.
Does nobody realise there's a clique involving Martial, Pogba, Lingaard and Rashford
3 of them have been pretty much shown they arnt wanted anymore, so how does the 4th react? He's sulking
It's so simple
So sell the 4th too

A clique?
There’s piles of money in children’s books, David Walliams made a fortune at it..
that’s a pretty innaccurate statement, only lingard isn’t wanted by the board.
rashfoot only has a small input on the books. he’s just the ideas man. someone else writes it. you can tell that because in one of the books the hero repeatedly runs straight into a monster rather than around it.
Good for him. I love it when people make money, especially when they make money following a passion or interest.
That’s something I’ve never understood about the U.K. and always respected about the USA. The U.K. has a culture of resenting working class people who become wealthy, whereas in the USA it’s celebrated.
do you love it when he makes loads of money moping around and sulking on the pitch?
He’ll love it even more when he gets a £300k a week contract..
what a guy
You’d prefer the Glazers pocket that money instead of the players on the pitch? Now do I think £300k would be better off going on a world class player in his prime or split amongst 3 young very good hungry players that improve us? Obviously, I do. But not the players fault we’re a poorly run club .
Prefer if they put it into a new stadium yeah, rather that rewarding mediocrity.
You can also tell that because he said it was written and illustrated by other people that aren’t him in his tweet.
You sure about that?
The priesthood! He's not completely insane
why not? The Most Revd and RT. Hon. Marcus Rashford. It does sound good.
