I'm not being negative I'm just saying what I see, and I don't understand the condescending sarcastic reply. If you disagree then you can do that, but there is no need to be like that it comes across as a bit babyish.
I do like Rashford as a player but I'm not going to judge someone off part of a season like a lot of football fans seem to do. His career has been very bipolar. Next season could be a disaster or it could be amazing, there is no guarantee with this guy.
Apologies for the tone. This forum is so negative sometimes it gets to me, I admit that willingly. Sometimes it results in stupid sarky comments.
Regarding the bolded part, it's probably the opposite. People see his last season as the anomaly and know based on his previous years and his performances, that he's a unique player who is actually one of the very few who did perform and do his best for the club even during those years when half of the team didn't. His last season was poor and we all know he was struggling with his mental health. Yes many players do and as professionals they should be able to perform regardless, but everyone is affected differently. And not many of us would perform to our highest standards at work if we were struggling.
So you would sell an academy graduate who has 0,54 goal contributions per game throughout his United career? 0,34 goals per game. Who's performed better than him during his time here? Consistently and for several seasons?
2015/16 (18 years old): 18 games, 8 goals + 2 assists
2016/17 (19 years old): 52 games, 11 goals + 7 assists
2017/18 (20 years old): 52 games, 13 goals + 9 assists
2018/19 (21 years old): 47 games, 13 goals + 10 assists
2019/20 (22 years old): 44 games, 22 goals + 13 assists
2020/21 (23 years old): 57 games, 21 goals + 15 assists
2021/22 (24 years old): 32 games, 5 goals + 2 assists
2022/23 (25 years old): 51 games, 29 goals + 11 assists
Now look at those numbers and tell me that this season is the anomaly more than the previous one. Yes you can always point out to his early years that the numbers weren't world class, but which 18-21 old winger can produce more than that in the most competitive league in the world? In a dysfunctional team. Fatigued as feck as he played internationally a few summers in a row on top of playing 50+ games for us every season. I wouldn't call his career bipolar. One bad season after he broke through.
122 goals + 68 assists in 354 games for the club. We're lucky to have him.
