Rooney used to eat shit, smoke and he clearly has an issue with alcohol. That's probably why he started to decline when still in his 20's rather than playing too much football as a teenager.

Rashford seems much more level headed and disciplined when it comes to his private life. Also has a leaner body shape, like Ronaldo.
Oh agreed, and he's still at it now. But my point is Rooney played through his youth while Ronaldo got the occasional mid winter break in his early years. Did that contribute to his longevity? Hard to tell as he's a determined so and so anyway.

No worries about Rashford either, while his appearance statistics are high for his age, he's often sub or been subbed.

Admittedly, I did think of Owen's injury plights the other day when I saw the amount of minutes Rashford has got since he broke into the first team. However, with the sports science and data available now and in the future, Rashford will not suffer the same fate as Owen did.

Also, it's incredibly convenient to make a statement that won't manifest itself for about another 10 years...
Something else to consider is the genetics. I think Owen was more genetically pre-disposed to those injuries (I recall an interview of him saying his dad or his brother suffered similar injuries).

Besides i don't think we're overplaying Marcus Rashford. Right now he's getting all the games, but if Lukaku/Sanchez get into form, that'll be a different story, there will be more rotation at the top.

The change in form since Mourinho left has been remarkable. I know Redknapp's comment was over the top, but when you look at how things have panned out, if Mourinho had stayed on long term you wouldn't blame Rashford for leaving. If he was in this form for another club, you'd have to conclude he was right to leave.

Good job Mourinho was shown the door before that ever had a chance of becoming a reality.

Owen admit it was due to genetics not due to burn out. He admitted his family were also had the same problems, in fact Owen doesn’t believe burn out even a thing in the football. At the end of the day it depends on Rashford natural fitness as well.

"Look at Rashford now, there were even talks of selling him in the summer" - Jamie Redknapp

A little over the top, but now we can see how something massive needed to change for Rashford. Under Mourinho he was either putting in average shifts on the wing, or getting 2 or 3 games up front a season, where he'd be rusty, then the manager would call him out for it afterwards.

It looked like the board might keep Mourinho. He would have missed out a massive career if he was managed by Jose.
Can you imagine. Mourinho still around, Pogba, Rashford and Martial gone (after the summer at least), perhaps De Gea and Lindloef as well. Could have been the situation, really. And Mourinho were to replace them with whom?

Rashford and Lindelöf would still be here, they got plenty of game time, even if mismanaged by the miserable one, but still no personal trouble. The other 3 probably not, because Pogba and Martial had some personal issues with him and De Gea wouldnt see any chances for trophies.

Rumours of Martial wanting to extend his contract came during Joses tenure. DDG as well while he backed Linelof to the hilt.

Hard to say anyway, which demands Mourinho would have for the summer window, what other players he would fall out with. Rashford didn´t have it in his genes to score goals. Which other players would disappoint him before end of season. Pointless to speculate, of course, but I think it´s safe to say that United is today a more attractive club than it was a couple of months ago.

That’s right

More attractive to existing players, potential new signings, sponsors and the fans

Rashford needed to leave the management of Jose Mourinho to really kick on.

Redknapp has been proven right once again.

There are still posters who have the opinion Mourinho needed to be backed, buy Perisic, Willian etc and get rid of the players he didn't want. The reason he failed was because the club didn't spend money.

In hinddight he probably needed to leave if Jose Mourinho was going to be there for the forseeable future. Rashford would still be stuck as a winger/forward on either flank or on the bench constantly.

But thanks to OGS, he's back on the same road as when he was playing under LVG... as is Martial for that matter.

I shudder at the thought of the mess this club could have been in

Why the hate. Redknapp was right. As we can ALL see. Those who kept saying ‘he’s getting minutes’ need to be the ones questioned.

Another mistake by the club. Should have listened to Redknapp and sold him last year.

But it did though. I remember the confusion on here and it was hilarious.
Maybe they knew Jose would go but the story did break during Joses reign
Nah, the claims after Sanchez arrived was that Martial&Co were looking for a move.
Signing an extension became a topic after Ole came in

Last season Rashford scored 10 goals in the PL in 33 games, and that is his record. This season he has so far scored 9 goals in 15 games in the PL. The talent has been there all along, but it looks like he's finally developing it further. Of course, it also matters that he is allowed to play striker now.

Young forward is inconsistent when she’s 18-22 and then starts to mature, and become more contestant. Shocker. The anti-England brigade must be conflicted tonight.

I think we can at least all agree that Rashford is far better as a left sided forward than he is as the central striker up top, being able to run at the defence and use his pace instead of having to hold the ball up and play with his back to goal is where he’s best.

He's twice the player he was when you made that post?
Hopefully this obsession with claims he should be a CF can feck right off already. He's slowly mastering the left hand side
So my point that he needed to play consistent football to get the best out of him and not just use the excuse of his getting minutes but coming off the bench every other week is your reason to try and come for me?

The post I sent was in Feb this year... when Rashford was on hot form after playing consistently... not bloody 12 months.

Don’t embarrass yourself coming for me again without fact checking.

Your post was from Feb 2019 ffs. He was never benched and had been starting as a CF regardless of form. No need to pretend otherwise. He didn't know what a bench was!
Just live with it and don't take it so seriously. All minutes add up, if anything he played too much as a youngster

He's scored all of his recent goals playing from the left, apart from the one against Liverpool. I prefer him in that position because he can effect the game better and gets into the box to score goals more and more.

Was you not listen to me? Read what I said. I blatantly said my post was 2019 when he was on form not 2018!! Go to bed. :lol:

He hasn't been playing as a striker though. And when he did it was arguably his worse form all season.

He seems to be really growing into the left inside forward though.
