Is anybody optimistic about his form & attitude between now and the end of the season? I'm really not convinced.
Rashford out partying at nightclub hours before reporting as too ill to attend training

Absolutely, but for why I cannot fathom. I don’t understand why some people are so personally offended by this lad. It’s bizarre how much hate he gets.
cool, im happy though because Rashford asked consent before scoring with the girl he met in Laverys
I forgive you Marcus.
For some the fact he isn't taking 10 lashes outside Old Trafford is a travesty by the club
It always happens. People with biases against a certain player want blood rather than being reasonable.
All is forgiven Marcus. Until next time
Sensible post.
Well for me it's his general "I'm not arsed" attitude on the pitch, any player that consistently doesn't put the effort in when playing is going to offend me. But I definitely don't "hate" him, that's a pretty extreme feeling to be feeling about someone you don't even know personally.
We pay him Haaland wages to give us Dwight McNeil performances. Is it really that hard to understand? That's before you get into his "face like a slapped arse for an entire season".
You got a source for that?
300k a week to walk about the pitch.
Try the odd attack. Not track back. Hardly ever win a 50/50 aerial/ ground duel.
Never presents himself for a set piece even though he is one of the tallest players.
He never looks happy even after scoring (that one goal ). Must be so boring for him.
Yeah it is bizarre why I'm not happy with him.
We pay him more than literally every other player in the league earns bar an arguable 2-3 players. That good enough for you? Sure he probably doesn't earn exactly what Haaland earns. I'm sure Haaland earns insane money when you factor in all the off the books shit City are doing.
The man just spent £750k on a night out in Belfast. They're jealous
We need players with ice in their veins
Resolved swiftly!
That’s the best thing about this latest drama.
Focus on Thursday now.

Can we have a poll to speculate the punishment?
Heard Ten Hag put him over his knee and spanked him.
You’re right It did, he’s gone on loan out of the dressing room. Next step sold.
The wages given to Marcus is on the club, not him. Nobody forced the club to give him that contract, and you can be sure he’d get it somewhere else if they hadn’t.
Other than that my point was about personal dislike, not footballing criticism. I think it really does just come down to jealousy in the end. That’s why it’s always about the wages.
That would be footballing critique. Not what I was talking about.
@Peter van der Gea I think it really does just come down to jealousy in the end. That’s why it’s always about the wages.
Ten Hag apologised and said please don’t get me sacked
I have no issues with people being unhappy with his performances, that’s part and parcel of the game and being a fan. Folk are absolutely entitled to their opinions.
But all the personal name calling stuff, the petty jibes and agendas that go on. It’s pathetic. He’s one of our own, he’s one of if not our best and he should be ‘cared for’ more by own fans - but honestly they seem to give him the most shit.
'i can change, Marcus!'
I imagine he must have been evidently, genuinely ill, and the responsibility for his actions is accounting for the unprofessional optics at being out in a club in Belfast the night before training in Manchester, with the two things unconnected.
If he had been unable to train because he had been drinking and had a hangover, I highly doubt he’d be training again and available for selection on Thursday. That would not be so readily forgiven.

Ok cool. I thought he had a hangover or some shit.
He was with his agent and another rep today at carrington, you dont need them to talk football
He's nipped to Glasgow for a few pints to celebrate drawing a line under the matter.
The way his disciplinary issues are progressively getting worse, it’s probably going to take him doing Jagerbombs on the the bench for the club to actually realise we might have a problem and a slap on the worst is not enough.
Honestly it feels less like contrition and more like we learned from the shit show of the Sancho affair playing out in public so have shut it down with a definitive statement.
Given our current form and position you don’t accidentally go to Belfast for a night out. He’s 100% taking the piss. Maybe it’s INEOS’ involvement that got a club statement out immediately but I’m not convinced Rashford gives a shit about the club right now. Might stem from Ten Hag / Sancho or just general unrest but he should be leading by example and not going MIA.

I think most of us are on less than half per year that he gets a weekIt’s highly likely, that every member of this forum is on less than half of what Rashford is getting - without a single exception
I have to say, fair play to him. He won.
Unless we see other better sources substantiating it, I’m not going to stoop to the low of linking tomorrow’s The Sun front page here.
Absolutely gutter press and the Scousers are 100% right on opposing that rag from their city.

What?! If he was actually genuinely ill then he’s much less likely to be fit to train this week and play a match this Thursday than if he had a hangover or was just tired when he sat out training on Friday.
His rapid recovery from his “illness” only serves to undermine the narrative you’ve been desperately clinging to. Well, that, the comments from ETH, him and his agent being called in to Carrington, the line about “taking responsibility for his actions” and the whole being fined thing. Along with the fact he felt well enough to decide to spend a night out clubbing less than 12 hours before he was suddenly too ill to train. A timeline that always seemed preposterous.
EDIT: and now we have an eye witness account from a named (and photographed) individual who worked at the bar he was at, confirming he got shitfaced last Thursday night.
But yeah, if we ignore absolutely all of the above then you might be on to something…

It's his footballing IQ and general seemingly lack of effort that gets the most criticism and rightly so, especially this season
Great he’ll be straight back in the starting line up and playing shit.
We don't need one, we'll find out if he's in the squad on Thursday, if he isn't that means he's been dropped, as a for a fine the maximum allowed is 2 weeks wages
It’s The Sun. It’s an absolute toxic rag that does more to poison the mind of large sections of the British public than any other media outlet. Their entire story is based on the account of one person who got paid for an interview.I can see exactly why you don’t want to link it…
And she was happy to put her name and face behind the story. So at the very least we know she definitely worked in the bar he was at, or she would immediately be found out.
It all seems extremely plausible to me. Reminds me of a time when a friend of mine in NYC knew a “fixer” who was present throughout a massive bender by Wayne Rooney when he went on a stag in the big apple. That was the first time I realised that contemporary footballers might actually get wankered mid season. I foolishly thought that all died out a long time ago and they all lived like monks these days.
This will light a fire under Marcus, the likes of which you have never seen. Hattrick incoming at the Molineux
