Rashford is going ahead with surgery and could be out until October

[KM]

Enough with the fecking statements...just have the surgery and come back when you're good.

Saw this was the top post on the Reddit thread... a screenshot (think it's from /sp/) posted a couple of hours before yet another super authentic and super real 'open letter':

Within a couple of years players will be going on TV having an emotional heart to heart and a biscuit with Lorraine every time they have to miss a few games.

Maybe they have to do that when there are posters who think injuries are fake.

All these days came up with crap like "injury is an excuse and it's not serious" now even more nonsense like this

Ofcourse it's all fake. Didn't you see few moronic takes that injury isn't serious and how it's all fake.

The problem I have with his injury is why did it take him for so long to decide to take the operation? Why did he bother going to the Euro's when he wasn't even fully fit? He even missed one of the Euro 2020 warm up matches because of it. He knew damn well he wasn't fit and then goes and writes novels on social media taking sly digs at the current England manager and just sounding like a proper pri-madonna. Do the talking on the pitch not on the social media.

'Had I Known?' Wtf is he on about? He came out in early 2021 when his performances took a dump for the club that he was playing injured. He knew he was injured and probably needed an operation. Now he's going all preachy about this bs? Could have done what Mason has, withdrew due to Injury issues, had an operation and be basically ready in early September.

He said “had I know I wouldn’t have played a significant role in the Euros”.

It suggests to me that he is saying that Southgate told him he needed him and that he was going to play a key role, only to give him 84 minutes across the whole competition (most of which against Ukraine when the game was won)

Again another thing that is on Southgate who knew his injury status, he should have told Marcus he wasn’t going to be a starter and was behind Sterling, Grealish, Foden and Saka in his plans. Absolutely shit man management once again.

Tbf if he decided to have the surgery mid season, or before the Euro some may respect his decision some may say he's too selfish, doesn't care about United, not a patriot etc. Either way people would find negative things to say about him anyway.

Me all I can say is all the best for his surgery and come back soon Marcus, love the lad.

At the end of the day, if an op is inevitable, he has had two choices. One is has it at June, which means he will miss national games. Another one is to has it at August, which means he will miss United games. He has chosen the latter one.

Woow… I think you’ve gone so far off the deep end that you genuinely don’t know what’s normal anymore.

I hope some day that your massive general distrust is dissolved by some kindness.

 

[crossy1686]

Its Utd who pay his wages not England.He has let the club down big time.

No he hasn't. There's at least 3 other players you could say that about

 

[Scholsey2004]

Good. Hes clearly not been at his best. Id rather he be out for a while and come back at his best than watch him perpetually struggle for form.

Yeah but United play what? 50 odd games a season? Whereas England matches in tournament finals are less than that in a decade. Its not unreasonable.

 

[tenpoless]

Direct your anger towards Southgate. He brought Rahsford and ignored him. Feck off just say at the beginning if you think an injured player wouldnt play a lot so the player could actually decide whats best for him.

 

[Adisa]

The statement could be read as a sly dig at Southgate. No chance he would have gone if he knew his only contribution would be in a pen shootout.

 

[Anders Agnalt]

It's weird to see people calling themselves supporters when all they do is bash down the club, players and staff...

Rashford needs surgery, it's not a vanity surgery! He's not fixing the nose or agumenting his brest or bottom.

Show some support. Find a psychiatrist and sort out your personal issues instead of beeing a "supporter troll"

He mentioned why he went to Euros. He also said he didn't think he would play such a minor role.

Yeah he is already talking on the pitch, so on and off the pitch.

Exactly. PL is played every season, Euros once in 4 years and many players won't even get second chance. It's easy choice for player.

I agree and am happy about his surgery but there are mixed information about it from Rashford, and there are questions about him joining the Euro team.

 

[roonster09]

When Pogba had surgery midseason people moaned about him saying how selfish he was. When Pogba kept quiet during contract saga, people moaned why Pogba is not saying anything.

Now Rashford played season without getting operated and also addressed fans, people moan that he posts or talks a lot.

It's like people want these players to be robots with everyone wanting to control how much or what they should say or how they should act.

If you do not understand what my post was about, I do not see how a spell checker would help. Your brain should be able to overcome small obstacles

 

[Wumminator]

Rashford is class. On and off the pitch. Happy that he’s sorting himself out.

incredible on the prior page someone is claiming that Grealish is a “breath of fresh air”. One fed the kids of GB during lockdown, one got smashed and drove home before being arrested.

 

[Ali Dia]

I think he would have. If the peno had gone in there’d be no retrospective PR statement. Another statement earlier in year sounded like he was blaming utd medical staff for his drop off in form and then another one at the end our season after we lost the final and now this one about England and Southgate. He shouldn’t have been picked for the Euros on his 2021 form full stop but how do you drop Rashford when he says he can play a part and he helped get you there in the first place? Just get fit come back and play better. It’s not rocket science or some moral crusade. United and England can surely do without what he was offering for the last 7 months for another month or two. Hopefully whatever work he gets done improves his work rate and decision making.

 

[dalriada]

I’m astonished at the anger and bile that's being directed at Marcus Rashford on this. Yes, it affects other people but we don't know what discussions have been going on and it's a matter between him and his medical advisors. As he's said himself, he knows his own body better than anyone else and ultimately he's entitled to make a decision about his own body.
There's no need for the kind of venom we've seen on Twitter (par for the course on that platform) or from some people here.
I hope it all goes well for him and he's back as soon as he sensibly can be.

 

[Garethw]

I have zero issue with him going to the Euros. My issue is that this operation should have happened literally the Monday morning after the final.

3 weeks have been wasted so that he could have a holiday, when he’s going to be sitting on his couch for the next three months during recovery.

Flipping hell, let the young man go on holiday for heavens sake. He wanted to play for his country, this is probably what he dreamed of as kid.

That's a fantastic post. Well in Marcus. As everyone with any compassion has said it's a very understandable set of circumstances that led to this situation and none of that I blame Marcus for.

 

[Plant0x84]

Do the talking on the pitch not on the social media.

He’s been talking on the pitch for the last 18 months. It’s been clear to see he’s been hampered by multiple injuries and needed resting, let alone surgery.
He’s still been posting big numbers. I fail to see how anybody could begrudge the boy his time with England at a major finals and resent him having this surgery now.

Tell me, if he had scored his Penalty kick and England won the final, would it be acceptable then?

it is what it is- he’s out for 3 months and we have adequate cover. It’s really nothing to cry about.

 

[sugar_kane]

I love Rashford and he seems like a great human being but his earnest social media posts are quite boring at this point.

Not in the sense of 'do the talking on the pitch lol' I just cringe slightly whenever I see them now.

Good decision to get the surgery all considered.

You have read his statement wrong. He is saying if he had known he wouldn't of played much at the Euros his decision to go May have been different but he didn't know that.

 

[stw2022]

People attacking Rashford for some reason delaying surgery he’s apparently needed for months for a few weeks so he can go on holiday are missing the point, we should be attacking Martial or Pogba for being French, or something.

 

[Maticmaker]

How has this predicament come about, one of our top players missing for 3 months, even before the season starts?

Surely as far back as last November Marcus had obvious injury problems with his shoulder/back, but 'fair do's' to him he played on through the pain for the sake of his club... but when did it become obvious, or at least a major probability he would need surgery?

Did/should Ole have insisted that one of his star players get the right treatment, whatever and not risk further delay? Did Southgate lure Marcus with "as long as you keep fit enough to turn out for United, your place in the Euro squad is certain"? Did Marcus allow himself to be lured, knowing the repercussions at the start of this season? What the fecks sake were the clubs doctors and physio's doing about all this?

Can't help wondering what would have happened if Carvani had left and Sancho never arrived?

Don't be away too long Marcus, they might find they can manage without you!

 

[Cloud7]

I'm inclined to think so as well. He worded it carefully so as to be diplomatic, but Rash is an intelligent guy. Had Southgate been honest with him and how much he planned to use him, I think things might have gone differently.

 

[Chairman Steve]

He probably shouldn’t have gone to the Euros and just got booked in for the surgery the day after the Europa League final. I’m sure even he knows in hindsight he should have done that considering how his contribution to the Euros was basically cameos, missing a penalty and becoming national figure of hate.

I partially blame OGS for persevering with him through the second half of last season, when everyone could see something was wrong with him and risking even worse damage to Rashford, Southgate for then taking a clearly injured but talented player and not even playing him and Rashford for taking a little too long on making the decision to get surgery.

So it’s a mess where no-one looks good, but at least we finally got to the end point.

 

[stw2022]

I still think this has the hallmarks of a surgery the club doesn’t think he needs but are willing to let him have. The relaxed approach makes no sense. I’ve never blamed him for going to the Euros but if surgery was needed surely the club would have it scheduled already immediately after the Euros not in early August. Not allowed it to be delayed for him to have a holiday.

What the hell is pri-madonna?

It's actually a very interesting term.

As we all know due to some less than pleasant excursions UK society and especially language has some Norse influence. In Norway "pri" is a shorthand for "prioritet", which is analogous to "prio/priority", but with some slight differences in meaning.

What @GifLord meant, in a slightly old fashioned way, is that Rashford is a more important cultural icon than Madonna the popstar and the painting combined. High praise.
