Jesus some posters will spout any kind of shite won't they?!Why are you saying they've swept it under the carpet? The initial statement seems to have been made in good faith and more details emerged subsequently.
They've dealt with it head on as far as I can see and have by all accounts fined the player the maximum possible. He's taken responsibility and will be on thin ice now. Do you think they should have publically lambasted him?
But they are, especially Mitoma.
As someone who has defended Rashford a lot over the years and usually felt he was unfairly criticised, I feel quite let down by this latest episode
Still it's his reaction to this that will make the difference - he had actually been playing better in the past month or so which makes it even worse

Exactly this. I said in a post yesterday that we don't know what's been said to Rashford behind closed doors, just what the statement says that was put out. He could have easily been told that this is your last chance so cop the feck on or something like that, they were hardly going to say that in the statement were they?!
This is Man Utd. We dont do sensible transfers.
On a serious note : teams always overcharge us. Look at Hojlund - all reports pointed to a 30-40m deal but Atalanta suddenly fell in love with him and wanted top dollar. While Olise has a 60m release clause, Nico Williams will cost a pretty penny
I think the new hierarchy and Ineos will have us do some sensible business in the summer. I think the days of us overpaying for average players is long gone.
Because we are broke
He also has a release clause doesn't he? I don't see us getting him, also not sure he wants to leave, but it's worth a go.
Feel sorry for the cleaner of that room. With Rashfords shooting, the ceiling probably needs a good scrub
hopefully we can get at least 60/70 million plus for him. Club needs a cultural reset and he should be seen the door as a part of that. For me watching him sulk whenever not in his favored position is really what does it for me. Oh and that little half ass attempt when theres a header to challenge where he shows 0 effort.
Ferguson would probably advise him to settle down and start a family. And I agree. When you have a kid, then you realise what's important in life and what's not.
And I agree. When you have a kid, then you realise what's important in life and what's not.Rashford may have been at the club since he was a kid, but the club owes him feck all. He's been getting paid handsomely for quite a long time, so, as far as the club is concerned, he should performing for the money he's getting paid. Quite simple. Like rashford.
So out of touch with reality its insane
This.
I dont mind overpaying - 100m for Bellingaham has proven to be worth every penny for Madrid. But please no more Antony and Sanchos. My Blood pressure cant take it
If we could get 60 million pounds for him, I'd take it.
I do hope utd sell him. On the pitch, I see a player trying to do it on his own and not use his supporting players. Off the pitch, the problems continue. What makes me sad, is also off the pitch, what he has done for the community has been outstanding. He could have been a utd legend. Big picture, needs to go. Also, he needs to go for him.
He’s both a victim and beneficiary of his own success tbf.
He really could have been a borderline world class footballer if he had Ronaldo levels of dedication, but doesn’t.
He could be up there in the Pires, Son, Mahrez bracket if he was more consistent. He’s not
But consistency should be attainable. It’s just a case of applying most of your talent, most of the time.
No idea if he’ll get it together here, but if it’s not going to happen, he needs to move. He’s a fabulous talent and it’s stick or twist time. I think a change of environment probably helps him, and it’s gutting that he won’t fulfill his potential here.
Top talent, really nice fella. But a change of scenery seems essential as he’s coasting and taking the piss out of the club and being paid a fortune to do so.

Just who does Marcus Rashford think he is? Its very clear he has no respect for ETH, none for his team mates, none for Manchester United and absolutely none for the supporters. Hes had his chances, before and during this season, but he's either too arrogant or too stupid to learn from his mistakes. Hes no longer a "young prospect" but supposedly a senior member of the team who should be showing an example to the younger players; ETH should get rid of him, hes past his sell by date.
Damning.
People need to take a reality check, the issue is not really the night club saga, it is his form and attitude on the pitch this season, because lets face it if he was scoring goals and tearing it up the attitude would be a lot more forgiving.... he is a lad, he pulled a sicky and went on the lash! is it the end of the world, nah not really, and if he plays well for the rest of the season it will all be water under the bridge.
Remember that George Best is probably the greatest celebrated piss-artist in sports history, he used to play half cut, but ultimately nobody cared because of how well he played.... no difference here, if Rashford was at his best and firing then who cares, in fact makes him a bit more interesting! but he ain't he is stinking up the pitch (as are most of his team mates TBF) so this is blown out of proportion.
I come back to my bigger concern is the management of the club which sees this sort of behaviour time and time again from different players, and not just under ETH, a lad getting pizzed is a lad getting pizzed, the repeated issues under successive managers that is the problem and will not be fixed by selling individuals, banging them off on loan, or ostracising them from the team and making them train alone, hopefully Brailsford will sort this out otherwise the problem will not stop at Rashford and we will continue to see unprofessionalism on and off the pitch

I wouldnt compare Rashford with George Best, either as a player or in his drinking; Bestie was a far better player and he drank because he was an alcholic, not because he was throwing a moody, like Rashford.
If he likes Belfast - he could go to Glentoran if he cleans up his act or Linfield if he's going to continue to be a waster!
Why are there so many morons at the club. No normal players. Get rid of him.
Then we'd be left with 15 morons, none who have had a 30 goal season
Match winning asset? What devilry is this? I seem to have heard of it, way back in the past. I used to associate this term with a thing called pride.
We aren't in the past, are we, you are aware that to win games you need to score goals right? As it stands Rashford is the best we have when comes to game-winning contributions.

Name a player in our squad who contributed to more goals and assists than Rashford in the last five seasons. The bottom line is we win more games when Rashford is playing well, so if he is so shit what the hell does it say about the rest of them.
To be fair you would be hard pressed to find anyone arguing that our attackers have not been shit
Bruno Fernandes. Goals in last 5 seasons - 71. Assists in last 5 seasons - 59. Total 130.
Marcus Rashford. Goals in last 5 seasons - 82. Assists in last 5 seasons - 46. Total 128.
Well, that was easy. And he played half the first season for another club, so would probably be about 20 ahead if brought in earlier.
To be fair you would be hard pressed to find anyone arguing that our attackers have not been shit
My argument is not that Rashford is the lynchpin that will lead us to the promised land, but until we can find two or three players that can match or better his output selling him is insane.
"Hey boss I am ill so no train. Best regards"
It's not really a plot if it's on twitter.
The UK is a kingdom and a country, nation or state. Scotland and Northern Ireland are not official countries but provinces. Wales is part of England. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain.
Glad we straightened that out.
He has to go in the summer, if we can get a good fee for him. Always loved the lad and thought he’d end up a star for us but it seems he’s only willing, for whatever reason, to deliver under the right exact right circumstances, and we can’t have that in a team in transition with all the controversies we have had. I’m sure he will rip it up in the French league or whatever if they pander to him.
it says a lot that he’s now been here for multiple failed managers and every time things go to shit he’s one of our worst culprits both for drop in performances and level of effort. Something just isn’t right with him. It’s honestly like he doesn’t enjoy playing the game or something.
he won’t be the last footballer to go on a bender the night before training but to do it in that fashion and when you have been having such a terrible season is just so damn disappointing.

We are a lot further than 2 to 3 players from the promised land. It will take a massive reset of the culture at the club, a culture that Rashford currently seems to be exacerbating.
I meant attacking/forward players. I think it a more of a skill issue than a culture issue at the club a lot of the players are not good enough so our boom/bust cycles are dependent on the form of Rashford, Shaw, and Bruno having good seasons. By all accounts get rid of the "bad apples" as soon as someone steps up and replicates their productivity.
He won’t want to leave Utd ….just carry on stinking the place up until his contract runs out.
Hoping that we could cash in on him. We could rinse PSG and remove his wage, could be very useful in a rebuild. Director of football needs to be done soon though.
It was a bit naive of him to not realise what might happen randomly visiting a night club. It’s happened on numerous occasions, where young women sell their stories to the rags.
