He's a very well spoken young man.

Yes. Lingard doesn't understand anyone, stay away from him.
Yeah I edited my post. I guess there's no harm in having some positivity now and then. After all, you never know, a manager with a Championship level résumé understanding this group of mediocre players might be the key to success.Only took 3 posts
Remember when Rashford said something similar a couple of weeks before the season started, and we've all seen how that's turned out. But let's have more faith. Having more faith could also be the secret to success.
The quote isn’t as bad as it sounds in the thread title, lineker set him up by asking “do you think it was a problem for mourinho that he wasn’t a top player?”. Radhford even denies that.

the state of this
Future captain for me, IMO. A fantastic interview, and I am really looking forward to his progress during the coming years.
This giving newbies 5 posts in the main forum isn't really working, bar the quality posts from the likes of @Wolff etc
Took 3 posts to kick our player and manager....improvement?
Same
Regardless of the current form/state of the team at least there is some positivity and everyone seems to be pulling together, that's a good start.
That is fecking pathetic. Seriously makes coming on here a bit shit.Only took 3 posts
Yep, best case scenario he becomes one of the best CF/LW in England over the next couple of seasons. Worst case scenario he becomes a great servant to the club as a backup option for our number 1 striker. He's great.
Its become a den of toxicity.
It would be understandable considering the state of things, but some posters seem to revel in shitting this place up.
Yeah, he always comes across as very nice, polite young man. Which makes the relentless character assassination from gobshites confused by his fashion sense and angry about a young footballer being inconsistent (who are really just looking for a scapegoat) all the more irritating.
How anyone can lay into him boggles my mind. The guy would almost certainly bleed for the club and the fans, has already provided us with so many amazing memories in just three years with a poor squad around him, and has had to deal with being shifted out here there and everywhere. Even so, he gives nothing less than 100% every time, is humble, and you can just see he loves playing for us.
Like I said, how can anyone hate him when taking that into account? Some of our online fanbase are just toxic morons.
Look, you did it again.
So it's more about politics less about actual football. It is all you need to work at United.
Came here to write the above but in a Britney Spears style of "Oops, you did it again!"
On topic; it's hard not to really like Rashford. It's also not hard to see why Ole put his faith in him to be the leading man this season. He's got the sort of personality a manager would love (the boy's a catch!) but he's also gotten into double figures three years in a row, primarily from wide positions. This will be his first season where he is the leading man but, while it's natural to expect a bit more consistency, worth remembering he's still just 21. It's also quite conceivable he'll be at United for another 12/13 years. Mad shit.
Didn't work for the previous manager.
I watched the whole video. What did Rashford say that's captain material?
Well spoken lad, hope he hits the ground running and has a great season.
Understands what?
Ole was a multiple winner here, what exactly does he understand about this bunch? The fact that theyre mid-table (at worst)? Or that they are major under-achievers (at best)?
Or is it simply because they are british and 'get the club'?

Whilst I agree that this place can be a right state at times, don't paint all newbies with the same brush
..Martial is the main ST though, I just hope he keeps at it, I have plenty of faith in him whilst a lot of people are writing him off.
I'm one of those who are skeptical of his talent level... but my does he have a build, a great physique.
Normally footballers who run all day aren't able to maintain that muscle mass. Strong and thick pecs, broad shoulders.
He really has the physical traits to be a no.9 hope he develops the mental ones as well.
Sometimes I see guys with V-lined body shapes like him at the mall and get a little jealous haha... getting old

Interesting to note, even if not surprising:
1. He says there is a marked difference in how Solskjær approaches training before games compared to Mourinho, in that Solskjær has the players focusing on our attack, ‘how we can hurt other teams’, rather than the opponents plans and how to stop them.
2. He says a another particular feature of Solskjær is that he has a long term plan that the player sunderatand and are behind. I guess he’s comparing to Van Gaal and Mourinho as that’s his experience.
3. He immediately acknowledges that our play at times have been ‘disjointed’ so far, and doesn’t put it down to lack of plan or players not behind the plans, but that the ‘young’ players look back at what they’ve done rather than what they should be doing (as I understand it). So it would seem they have had a few conversations in the wardrobe and traing ground about having style of play and game plans, and the difficulties of players of remembering it throughout all phases of a game or keeping composure, sticking to plans etc.

OGS might understand the players, but it is his understanding of the modern game and ability to improve players that should be questioned.
Hopefully you won't get promoted.
What do you think Rashford means by it?
Oh please.. He has changed a lot since he came and it´s a work in progress, we always knew that this wouldn´t be an instant success.Players like him thats great, plus we have been much better since the start of the season than we were last year under Jose. Give it time.
What an embarrassment you are, if things are so bad why don't you go support someone else?
Yeah, I really don't get it. How can anyone not like the lad? Very down to earth and not at all egotistical as some would have you believe.
Damn, even I am shocked by some of the extremely negative and cynical comments on OGS/Rashford. This shit doesn't need to be repeated in every thread
