Is he the guy who was on the Wales coaching staff and criticises every manager going?
Rashford is Unhappy according to Pilip de Brun & The Times
- Thread starter OohAahMartial
- Start date
Pilib is a cnut. Always was and always will be. Hope Trump bans his show
"Who is Pilib?"
For anybody complaining that Jose is not playing him in his favored position of striker, that's hardly unusual. If you can remember SAF played Fletcher on the wing all the time in the beginning. Jones as right back etc...
While I would like to see him get more game time upfront, I don't think he has deserved it a whole lot this season. He has time in his side anyway.

Rashford can only improve playing and training with Ibra. Even playing on the flank can improve his general game and how to dribble past opponents and effectively cross or cut inside. He's still young and has potential to be a great but he needs patience and has still a lot to learn.
However I still think Mou should try using two strikers. A strong technical Ibra als the targetman and Rashford floating around him and getting in behind the defenders. This could be so deadly imo

Exactly. The media create rubbish, unsourced clickbait for revenue purposes and we lap it up like sheep.
Truly pathetic non-story, and every piece of actual evidence (Mou quotes on Rashford, Rashford quotes on Ibra, gametime, contracts, etc...) point to this story being a load of unsubstantiated rubbish.
#logic.
Not sure what you're getting at, but the latter part of your sentence was confirmed by none other than Rashford himself.
What a lot of bollocks, there were stories the same day this came out (yesterday?) denying it.
They didn't get what they wanted with Mata, Mhiki or Martial, now they are moving on to Rashford.
The press are a bunch of total and utter cnuts.

I think if anything, Mata's place in the squad / team is far more certain than the other two - would be very surprised to see Mata leave in the next few years.
That's not how it works with De Brun.
He literally doesn't have any sources at any clubs. He makes stuff up as he goes along. I know this for a fact. He's seen as a joke in media circles. He's actually not worth discussing.
What a great opportunity to bash Zlatan and Mourinho some more. It just makes so much sense for Rashford to be unhappy, who Mourinho has much preferred over our best winger last season.
If I was a player I would go out of my way to quash these ridiculous articles, but that's me personally.
I can imagine it gets tedious for players constantly hearing rubbish about them in the media. Rashford is an unusual target but it shows the press will stop at no border to generate controversy.
1 explicit tweet would go a long way though...

Isn't Pilip de Brun The dickhead who gets almost every transfer rumour wrong?
He's another loser looking for the spotlight

I can't really tell which parts of this are your opinion and which parts are borrowed from the very obviously nonsense article. You've presented it all as if it's some kind of proven fact yet it's pretty much either opinion or demonstrable nonsense from start to finish
It's annoying how much some people are pining to find examples of players being unhappy or supposedly unfairly treated by Mourinho. If he was coming out and picking on the same player every week or was never selecting someone regardless of performance, fair enough, but he seems to just pick the players who play the best, which seems a pretty logical thing to do. Zlatan had a spell when he could have been dropped but no one else has exactly set things alight when they've played up front, and now Zlatan is playing pretty well, and also scores a lot.
Also anyone who knows who Pilip de Brun is enough to know whether he has any credibility at all, knows that he doesn't have any credibility at all...so why include his name as if it gives some kind of credence to something?
Journalist thought process:
I have a deadline to meet for an article about a top club.....
Hmm... Mhikitaryan is now playing. Martial also seems to be getting on the good side of Jose.....
Let's see... which player can we make shit up about just to stir the pot.... Mourinho, youth, something something... Rashford!

He's playing a lot of football for his age, despite the fact he's not scoring or assisting consistently. I wouldn't be complaining if I were him. Similarly aged players like Fosu Mensah and Shaw has hardly even seen the bench, even he's probably got even more game time than Martial.
Would you mind revealing how you know this for a fact? Then we can see if he should actually be on the banned list. Its this guy claiming Shaw is depressed too. His claims are now getting picked up even by some red tops. I will stop watching his Beyond The Pitch show now.
Rashford is right to be unhappy as long as it's his own form
He's an attention seeker.
There are too many of these wannabe journos around who know feck all now.
One of my pet peeves, along the lines of "I'm not a racist, but...".
Not the most reputable source. The state of Sports Journalism absolutely appalling.
Some people deserve to be lied to.
Is Philip De Burnt the fat boy?
To be fair they are direct quotes from the official Mourinho embargoed press conference last week.I don't think Luckhurst had to work too hard for that. Judging by what Mourihino says regarding Rashford ,these latest reports sounds like bullshit.
The media can't claim Martial is unhappy any more for clicks, so they move onto Rashford. Nothing to see here IMO.
Who said Luckhurst had to work hard for that?
I don't understand articles like this, it feels like they're trying to unsettle our players/Jose. Rashford is getting a lot of playing time and he's progressing as a player under the guidance of Zlatan and Mourinho. He looks sharp/focused and the emotions that go with that when he does well or under-performs are visible but he is improving and establishing himself as a future starter. I think he should be delighted with this season so far but there's still room for improvement with his finishing.
I think your referring to neil custis.
I only remember this name from the Pogba transfer saga, and like most journos, he didn't have a clue what the feck he was talking about.
Nah that's Raymod verheihejejheueefjwen
I don't see there's any problem to play as no#9 or as supporting striker which even better to develop young player overall game.Have we forgotten how C.Ronaldo develop his game and where his natural position?There's so many great goal scorer like Henry,Messi,neymar,C.Ronaldo,A.Sanchez that proving they are on par with natural no9 and some of them even better than a no9 in goal scoring ability.
If this was true then his attitude isn't right for us anyway.
Load of old toss
Pleb should never be quoted on this forum

I don't think it's that they're trying to do. Manchester United + talented young homegrown player + drama = Clicks = £
Rashford is a highly rated local lad with loads of talent and, it seems, the right attitude, so chances are this is clickbait BS
That said, players with the right attitude who understand what it means to play for this club is what we need. Anyone who feels unhappy or that they could do better elsewhere should just feck off already.

Okay.
Well, first all, I haven't mentioned this fact in here because I don't want eyes rolling and people thinking that I think I am an 'ITK' because of it. So let me get this out of the way early doors. I am not ITK and I don't pretend to be.
I've been a football journalist for over 12-years. I work for national newspaper titles. One predominantly and a couple more on a freelance basis. I work on Premier League reporting and really enjoy it. It's not what it used to be, it's getting a bit more tedious and boring now...but I still like what I do. Newspaper journalism's become less interesting and less important because all football clubs keep their distance from media of all sorts these days for reasons I will mention a little later in this post and I am also having to write pretty meaningless pieces for online content, such as Top 10 this or that and Combined X1 nonsense. I'm not a really moral person so I don't in any way think 'my art is at stake'. I've got a good job and I like what I do, so I'm continuing to do it, even though it is a profession well under attack due to a reason mentioned below. But I do want to stress I am not a preacher of 'ITK' material nor never will be on these forums. I have been a Manchester United fan from birth, through family and I consider that one hell of a fecking blessing.
Anyway, take it from me, someone who knows all of the national reporters well (at least I know how they operate) in the UK that Pilib De Brun is absolutely 100% nailed on to be known as an absolute spoofer. There is no such thing as an 'in the know' journalist such as De Brun for loads of different reasons but let me give you the one main reason why national newspaper journalists such as even your top dogs that appear on Sunday Supplement don't know much any more, let alone Philip De bloody Brun. Years and years ago, football clubs needed 'media' (newspapers mostly) to inform their fans of any information they wanted to know. That's what the word 'media' means - medium, it's the middle man, the bridge between business (the club) and the customer (the fan). So if a club wanted to release information they'd ring up their favourite journalists or maybe send out press releases to the newspapers to try to get their information across to their fans. These days, clubs no longer need the media (they no longer need a middle man). If a football club like Manchester United wants to reach their fans with information, they do so in a multitude of new-age ways. A Tweet is the new press release. Nobody needs to call Shaun Custis about anything anymore. Years ago - even maybe 12-15 years ago - journalists used to have a rollerdex of phone numbers of professional footballers. That shit don't happen anymore. Footballers, coaches, high-echelon positions at clubs, nobody needs a journalist anymore. I mean, it happens in some ways, agents like to use journalists, not for any exclusive chats or anything, just to get a spin on a story out there - such as 'A club are looking at my player'..just because that agent is currently in negotiations with the current club over a new deal - that shit happens and we know it happens and we know when it is and isn''t bullshit). But nobody uses journalists to offer 'inside information'. It. Just. Does. Not. Happen. Anymore. Guaranteed. It's a dying form of media and it is very critically dying, too. Newspaper sales are at a massive low and are getting worse by the day. There is little or no value in newspaper journalism. Being a newspaper journalist does not mean you are ahead of the game in any respect whatsoever. The only reason I believe I may be a little ahead of the average fan on the street is that I know which journalists are talking shit and which ones can be trusted with certain bits of information. But when it comes to having 'inside information' - I have zero REAL inside information or sources and neither do the 'top dogs' of football journalism. It's well-known and talked about much among journalists on a regular basis....we just don't have any inside sources. Football doesn't operate that way anymore.
De Brun is nowhere near considered to know anything about anything. Genuinely. He's a laughing stock among reporters.
Unpopular opinion time.. he's overrated.
