Feck off with the sanctimony, you windbag. Can you actually prove that it's foreign fans giving him pelters, or is this just a nice opportunity for you to rage about bloody foreigners?
Sorry, but why is Rashford rated here? (Read the context)

Anyone who criticises a United player for doing something they didn’t like at the time they did it isn’t a real fan*

There you go again with the passive aggressive strawman routine
New levels of mouth breathing in here
This just sums up both Rashford and Sancho. At least they had the balls to step up.
He really really shouldn’t have. Southgate made the right call dropping him. Their forwards were fine up to the final. He wasn’t going to come on and change
anything like he didn’t in any of the other games or our games in the last few months of the season. He wouldn’t have done anything against that defence
It’s weird that threads get closed a lot for not being posted in the right one - why is this allowed a thread and it is not just in Rashford’s performance thread?
Bit disappointed with some of the responses in this thread, what Rashford really needs now is our support. He'll have plenty more finals in his career, the abuse he received was disgusting. He's barely played all tournament then Southgate threw him in at the deep end for the biggest moment for in England in 55 years.
Let him rest up and get whatever medical attention he needs. Hopefully with Oles support, the home crowd back and with Sancho in the team he can get back on track asap.
There's zero value pointing that out to them, they have their agenda and they won't be budging from it.
So missing a penalty is now used as a reason to not rate rashford. I think we should have instantly sold Ronaldo when he missed his CL penalty. Our new boy Sancho should just be sent back to Dortmund. He's clearly not going to make it. Messi recently missed one. Another failure of a player.
Someone had to say it. Good on you.
Rashford is overrated by some naive fans on here.
Proven by the fact he is behind sterling, sancho, foden, saka and grealish in the england pecking order.
He is not and will not be a top drawer player unless he solely concentrates on football

No footballer solely concentrates on football, that's a pretty good way of burning out. If he chooses to spend his free time improving the world, then good on him. He shouldn't stop doing that just because random nobodies on the internet thinks it gets in the way of him playing football or whatever.
Up until the Germany game Kane had done feck all and apart from the rebound pen did little v Denmark. Kane didnt have a good enough tournament that Southgate could keep him on v Italy. Its not a merit badge here, if Kane is anonymous v Italy (not 1 touch in the 18 yard box) then change it up. Italy were pushed high with 2 aging CBs not being troubled by a striker who cant run. We saw how a mobile Spain troubled them so it was crying out for someone to at least chase a diagonal ball and turn them. Italy were so comfortable they parked Emerson at the halfway line and built the attacks through him. At least Marcus threatens the space behind him.
Englands front 3 were dead and that cost them. Id have changed all 3 when Italy pushed up. Grealish, Rashford and Sancho as a front 3, stretch the play and dare them to pressure high.
Xenophobes like you and @Nou_Camp99 are what gives our fans a bad name.
feck off.
Yes, everyone knows all of the truly elite players don't have life partners, kids, hobbies, family, friends or business interests. They eat, sleep, breathe football never losing focus for a second.
Wow lads. Poor form. Bloody foreigners, eh?
My reference was towards the last sentence. I've no problem with fans outside the UK
Ah ok. I was a little surprised to be honest.
You should use the bold function or quote only part of the post so us JCL foreigner day-tripping scum don't get confused, eh?
I will. I was taking a dump while I posted so was a bit distracted
Except he’s only behind them when injured, as he had been majority of the year.
Like always, the truth is in the middle. Rashford is a good player with potential to be great. However, he's also overrated here since he moved to the first team. I don't know why he has not developed as we all hope he would have - but he needs to make that step up soon, like Luke Shaw did
How's brexit going for you?
Literal shit posting. Well done.
I should change it to the smirk smiley, just so @Inigo Montoya knows I am making a joke there.
I've forgotten more about football than you'll ever know, quiet down. Without foreign fans there would be nothing.
Leave him alone to drown his sorrows, along with the other hardman who said 'someone had to say it'.
As for the OP, we rate Rashford because he's a good player who produces good numbers. As simple as that.
Yes, I'm sure the world will be a much better place when Marcus Rashford is focusing solely on football and decides he doesn't give a feck if poor, helpless children are starving.
Ah well, who gives a feck. Let them starve. At least Marcus is going to be a "top drawer" player, am I right?
Posts like these not only disgust me, but actually scare me.
it depends how we define ‘good’. If we take a look at the goals in the Premier league, Rashford had his best tally in the 19-20 season with 17 goals. The other 5 seasons have been 11 max.
this also boils down to the question what do we actually expect Rashford to be? Many agree that he isn’t a traditional striker. Left winger? That would be the position he should focus on, no?
the overall theme of this thread is that Rashford is indeed a talented player, but he will enter his 7th season and we are still discussing what his best position is. I’m of the opinion that he lacks that ‘killer mentality’ to become world class.
does every player need to become world class? If they can, why not?
can every talented player become world class? Absolutely not.
It was a shocker of a penalty, it will take him a while to get over it. I still think however the whole penalty shoot out situation was badly misjudged by Southgate and set him up to fail.
It is however not the time to be sticking the boot in. Posts about his poor form this calendar year or putting his talent down are not helpful and distasteful right now.
Rashford represents our club on and off the pitch superbly. This is the time we should be getting behind him and supporting him against racists and those who can’t wait to put the blame onto him.

That is the overall theme of this thread, no bashing, just genuine questions. Rashford will enter his 7th season and we are still discussing what his ideal position is.
He still has time on his side but time wont suddenly make a talented player into a world class player.
There is no discussion about his best position, he's a left inside forward? He's a player with a great big game record. Who scores and creates loads of goals. Who will put his body on the line for club and country. Who is as good of a man as any to have ever played for this club. And is a local United guy.
Rashford might not be world class, but he has the talent and occasionally will have world class performances, while generally being a top player regardless. That's what he is, and that's more than fine. He's our long term left winger sorted out.
a sensible post. Just for further analysis, what do we expect from a left winger at United in terms of statistics? Putting an effort in is great, but there has to be another criteria in terms of effectiveness.
what should the minimum tally be for a United left winger in terms of goals and assists?
