It's an example. One example. I'm sure there have been others throughout the season. Games where he could've come off earlier than he did. Ole managed Cavani well generally this year, you have to manage Rashford as well, if it's true about the injuries.
PR BS
Give over mate
Captain conspiracy theory over here!
Rashford gives an impassioned speech about desire of the club and how the rest of the players feel.
CAF: Nah don’t buy that b*llocks. It’s all PR bull crap that!
Yeah, I’m pretty sure Rashford texted his PR before the interview and asked how best to come across on TV after a loss.
Great one.
Talk is cheap, and I just said he’s been poor for us for quite some time. But, if you listen to that and say his heart isn’t in the right place then I say you’re very wrong.
If I remember correctly, Pogba was hammered for wanting to have surgery by Ole and the utd folk. Think the medical staff wanted him to play through it and it was his own team that said get the surgery and he did. People them said he was getting himself ready for the Euros and didn't give a stuff about UTD.
There's so many plusses to it. Grealish can play left and centre, meaning there's competition, rotation, backup for both Rashford and Bruno. Rashford could actually get some rest, and Bruno could too, as he surely won't be able to continue playing so much as he ages. If all are fit, we'd actually have a decent player on the bench for once (probably Rashford).
This. People are delusional if they think he hasn't been playing with a knock, irregardless if you think hes not a half sensible coach would've benched or pulled him in this match. But OGS didnt have the balls to do it for some reason, and by making him play through injuries (or if its his own choice) he is ruining his career and longevity.
There was no lack of passion from Rashford last night, he just wasn't good enough. He tried and tried and tried. He lacked quality, not passion.
Ole will be taking the advice of the medical team and Rashford. If they give him the green light then he is right to start him/play him.
The majority of professional footballers would play with broken legs if allowed to be fair.
He’s played 101 games over the past two seasons despite being out for a period with a broken back, carrying a shoulder injury that needs surgery for months along with other nibbles he has played through the pain barrier with.
This is the problem, judging players by these stats.
To be fair it's the same example everyone comes up with including myself because there weren't many other obvious places to rest him.
Which is peculiar. Until this season he was brilliant running at players and being a nuisance but couldn't be relied on to finish his dinner. Now he's become far more productive and clinical but useless everywhere else.
That happened a long, long time ago, he seems to think he's some sort of CR7 clone.
Ronaldo worked hard. Watching Rashford is often like watching Eric Cantona come out of retirement for a charity game .
I agree, when you see a 34 year old Cavani charging around the pitch for 120 minutes, yet Rashford is strolling, something isn't right.
I know the thread is about Rashford but he isn't the only one that was strolling around. Cavani was the exception. The whole team needs a fire lit under their arses.
When you put it like that, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Fair point.
