That's my point, why do fans care so much about that ? It seems very childish
If they are the same, you should easily post a few names otherwise a sweeping statement like that is just too easy.

Marcus Rashford signs new deal with United | 4yr + 1
- Thread starter littlepeasoup
- Start date
Like I said, they start laughing since SAF retired. Banter has been part of football since forever, if it annoys you the moment the club is struggling then you need to grow up a little. Of all the reasons to be justifiably pissed off at the club, rival fans should be the least of our concerns.

jog on mate.Oh no, twitter twats are laughing at the club, what to do?
Should have sold him so some clueless twats on twitter wouldn't have said anything.

It’s ‘fans’ like you that are an embarrassment. Seems that embarrassing or variants of the word are en vogue for the keyboard warriors who have presumably never even been to OT.
Spoilt glory hunters are the most “embarrassing” element of the club. Opposition fans will always be delighted if Utd loose, that’s the tribal nature of football, that’s rivalry. However, it’s shocking to see so many people actually turn against the club when times aren’t so great. Posts like Yours are toxic.
I have to agree. The fan base seems to be very 'toxic' at best. Yesterday I saw the comments under a Ashley Young tweet and it was horrible to see the abuse he got just for showing up for training on the first day.
If his deal is less than half of some figures being reported, the most it can be is less than half of the highest reported figure, which is 300k no? So he's on less than 150k with or without bonuses. I don't think that's in any way excessive.
BBC report him to be on 200k a week.
But isn't Rashford quoted in the Times interview as saying less than half? I don't care either way, if it's based on bonuses he only gets it if he's good one would hope, so...
This pretty much captures it for me.
I think as in the rest of soviety we need to differenciate between the people and the extremes a bit. In the comments of The Guardian and other papers, you find half the comments will often be from hard right wing, or islamophobes, or misogynists, or conspiracy mongers, etc ... the impression you get is very untypical of The Guardian ‘fan base’ so to speak.
On Twitter and here I expect to find the same tendencies, many views recycling extreme views rather than just the views of the general fan base.
I’ve been to old Trafford more times than I can count. How exactly am I a spoilt glory hunter for saying that rashford shouldn’t be on more money than the likes of Aguero, salah, Kane, mane etc. He’s done nothing to deserve anywhere near that sort of money and That’s been the problem with this club in recent seasons, giving bang average players huge contracts which basically makes it impossible to sell them on and doesn’t motivate them.
When we were winning things regular then it was pure jealousy by opposition fans we were a powerhouse of football, now they just laugh at us because the clubs made error after error and been run into the ground. We are the joke of modern day football thanks to Ed Woodward and the board.
I'd trust Simon Stone over anyone else to be honest.
Another mistake paying an average player a huge wage, can this club do anything right at the moment?
I'm going to get battered for saying this but this is wrong on so many levels. He is potentially a top class striker but in my opinion these high wages do nothing but cripple young players, its the old too much too soon story. Rashford cant be compared to a young Neymar (a goal a game for Santos) or Mbappe, he is nowhere near that level yet and has done nothing close to what they accomplished at a similar level. If Rashford doesn't progress further you are going to be stuck with him, another player on a fat contract unwilling to move.
Why are you comparing him with Mbappe and Neymar? Such an odd post and random.
Due to his young age, position, and what he's earning and the wonderkid status, my good there is even a thread on here comparing the two. I really don't see how its odd, but you constantly pop up with that kind of response.
If you compare any young player to Mbappe, they would look like duds. Just because fans on caf did that few seasons ago doesn't mean we have to compare them everytime.
And how is Neymar relevant here? Also if you compare their earnings (with Neymar), at least do a proper research before comparing them.
Glad he signed, but it's going to be a tall order to justify the role he has and the wages he's on, we need 20 goals a season for that.
It wasn't a few seasons ago, there was a thread comparing Kane & Lukaku, and Rashford & Mbappe at the start of last season.
Delighted.
2017-18, in which majority said it was not a worthy comparison and almost everyone said Mbappe is levels above Rashford.
Do you think Rashford is worth £200K a week? What are your expectations from him next season? Will he remain on the wing or will he be your main striker?
Don't care what any player is worth, it's never a black and white situation. Once we gave Martial 200K, this was always on the cards considering they are same level players, at least going by their impact on first team.
Going by reports he will be our first choice striker, if that's the case I will expect more than 20 goals and more importantly bring more to the team than just goals.
Again I think he could be a great player, even a top one if he can keep his head.
Not sure how I feel about this. His attitude has been questionable, although he is young and will be influenced by those around him. I love the kid, and I am glad that he is a United player, but his head went a little last season. He seems to think he is a little better than what he is, and his recent quote of 'knowing my worth' highlights his lack of maturity.
He has many facets of his game that need A LOT of work.. he isn't clnical, can hardly head the ball, he isn't hungry in front of goal, and he does not seem quite sure how he actually wants to play.
As the first-choice No 9 at Man Utd, you have to look to score goals, goals, goals. And I do not see that in his game right now. He wants to dribble. He wants to link play. He wants to take corners. He wants to take free-kicks (not very well).
Look at Harry Kane. Jamie Vardy. Lewandoski. Aguero. These people are interested in one thing, and one thing only, and that is leading the line for their teams, and scoring loads of goals.
Rashford is no Mbappe, so he needs to get that crap out of his head. Neither is he a Griezemann.
If Rashford is focused, he could be a super, outstanding centre forward. We will have to wait and see how this develops.

Not worth it. Very average but it's all because United product and bla bla bla, oh and because our manager calls him Rashy!
He really needs to step it up now to justify that salary.
You really think Rashy is now earning more than Aguero? Oil FC? you sure?
Insane money for a striker who will be 22 in a few months and has scored 25 league goals his whole career. Let's hope it proves to be a worthy investment.
I never believed for a moment he was going to City - and frankly I think it's irrelevant where he goes. The fact here is Rashford is nowhere near Rooney's level yet and to distract from that is to muddy the waters. Let's just agree that Rashford now owes the club big time
my guess is he'll be gone before the contract runs out...
That's assuming he steps up and becomes a talisman, otherwise he'd go nowhere with the money he's on..
I think Madrid would remain interested in him and maybe even Juve. It's such a different game over there. There is no way I can seem him becoming what Ole thinks: our all time top goal scorer. to me he just isn't another wayne rooney
A problem I think the club (and Rashford) has now is that in the past when young players came into the team they were brought in with experience and leadership around them. But we don't have that now. Rashford shouldn't be leading the line for us at this stage. He's not top tier (yet - hopefully can be one day - can never be sure).

Yep. This is Manchester United under Ole' and Ed Woodward. If you are average, don't really perform, and have never actually done much at all, you're quids in!!!
It's like supermarket sweep!
To be fair, all our players have to perform better to justify their pay, not only Rashford. Even Ronaldo can't saved us last season. We can't expect DDG to keep 20 clean sheets. We can't expect Rashford to get 20 goals or Pogba to make 20 assists. The whole team have to gel.
Like I say before. Look on the bright side and just treat Rashford as a new 40m striker we bought this season.
No hiding place for him now. That is an elite players salary without question. We're going to need to see that from him.
This is madness. United are paying their first choice No 9, £200k a week, and he shouldn't be expected to score 20 goals a season? That's complete nuts.
I must be living in another world.
If he doesn’t score more than 20 goals in all competitions next year next year, it will pile some pressure.
There are also younger talents emerging, so he’ll no longer be the kid anymore. The thing is, you can only hide behind the young hot prospect title for so long.
He’ll 23 within 15 months. I think he has to step up this year and reward the club for their patience. No more he’s young. Time to take full ownership and become the forward this club has been lacking since RVP.
