    Which apparently proves he'll never be good enough to lead our line.
    Rashford needs the support from the fans and from Jose. It's obvious he is clearly worried about his starting place and maybe he's been told to reach a certain goal target this season or his future in the club could be in jeopardy.

    Only a theory, but he has looked really nervous and selfish at times this season, which has never been the case prior to that.

    He's fast but that's about it. He's the most overrated player that I've ever seen.
    How many teenagers would have 9 goals already this season in his place? His confidence is obviously shot at the moment.

    Don't suppose we'll be seeing Mhiki much more after this. Shame, he has great talent.

    The hate Marcus is getting here is ridiculous.
    He’s this months scapegoat. It’s increible how the flavour of the month for bashing moves round. It was Lingard not long ago.

    Oh shut up. He was frequently shite and regularly exasperating as a young lad. Hindsight is a great thing. Rashford is still a kid. How quickly we forget.
    Yes but Rashford doesn't have the talent that Ronaldo had. I don't think that's a controversial thing to say.

    In your opinion, which you are welcome to of course. In my opinion Rashford literally dwarfs that of Welbeck in terms of technique. Welbeck can barely run 5 yards without losing control of the ball.
    Welbeck had a great first touch. Link up play was a great strength of his. Never improved his finishing though. Horrible weaknesses for a striker.

    Mourinho disagrees with you.
    Well, Mourinho's choice was to either take off our two most in form attacking mids (Mata and Lingard), guy returning to the team (Mkhi) or Striker short on confidence (Rashford). He went for the easy choice.

    It's absolutely pathetic, I'm so glad we're on TV most weeks so I don't have to follow games by checking this forum and reading the shite these idiots post

    Things have changed, before young players wouldnt get moans and groans regardless of mistake but seems no one is getting a free pass, not even if you are young and you are one of their own.

    I agree with your assessment that Rashford is a much bigger talent, but it’s hardly surprising that some people are worried about perceived regression from a lad who seemingly couldn’t miss a chance in his breakthrough season.

    The brain makes a lot of easy connections, albeit correct or false. Conversely he struggled at the start/middle part of last season, but came very good in the important part of the season where we picked up a couple of nice trophies.
    Consistency is an issue that eventually gets ironed out with continued gametime.

    Rashford is still a baby relatively speaking. Give him time and he will come good.

    Hate games in Old trafford lately. Shit atmosphere and struggling to beat the likes of Brighton, Bournemouth, Burnley, Southampton and Derby. Jose on the sideline with his manic depressive puss and shit grey coat just puts the tin hat on it.

    We are living in the Trump era. Who the hell knows what next week holds for the world!
    Yeah but I think there's quite a bit of overlap between the type of people who would build survival shelters, and the type of people who voted for Trump. They probably think it's a safer world with the moron in office.
