You believe Ragnick hasn't educated United about Pogba and Martial attitudes? Very naive, interesting Martial out on loan and stinking Sevilla up, and Pogbas had no further contract talks.......

But still some Bury their heads in the sand.

I say well done Ragnick on identifying the problems amongst the squad and addressing them. It's been needed for years.
Great that somebody else sees this, Rashford sulking, Shaw coming out in an interview not feeling loved but still needs a new contract. All this stems from there fact there is a manager there who isn't buying this crap. The board and the new manager will get a very interesting material to read about that squad after the season. Funny thing with Rashford is that if he wasn't at Utd his platform would be at least 10x smaller and no one would give a shit about his work, books ect.

The problem right here is that there's a bare minimum expectation of some effort even when the performance is lacking, but Rashford fails badly at that.

We literally can play him off the bench and he'll just stand around doing nothing. His attitude is appalling and he would have been binned off a long time ago if it weren't for his stupidly high wages.
But he tells us on twitter he is his own biggest critic :lol:

I don't see other players churning out books trying to milk the niche market for children to fill their bank accounts and no I don't see other players showing off their charity work on Instagram every time they do it, shoving it down our faces..

Where I come from, you do charity and help others without expecting praise or showing it off as then it becomes more about self promotion than it is selfless service. This guy is using charity and politics in order to give himself a greater sense of self importance and place himself above criticism. He's nothing but a narcissistic product/brand of social media star not a footballer. He may as well be a youtuber. The latest one is him wheeling out some little kid to get him to tell the world that rashford helped make him run miles and miles

He's the ultimate narcissist who has a similar entitlement mindset to greenwood. He thinks his charity work and advocacy should protect him from all criticism. That's why he sent his pr representives over to ex united players to beg them to go easy on him in the media. And thats why he acted like a thug against the fan who dared question his performance. The same fan who no doubt contributes to his overinflated wage and we have his fanclub calling it abuse. Well we may as well get rid of this whole entire forum and all hand ourselves in to the police for online abuse, if saying 'come on rashford, after that performance'' because I've heard far harsher criticisms on here a day to day basis.

As for giving this brat another chance under a new manager, This guy has already worked under 4 different managers and only one of them has he performed well under. World class managers like Mourinho got fed up of him and Martial and he used his pr to undermine Mourinho because he wasn't an automatic starter. Then he threw Ole under the bus even though he was the one who pandered to his ego the most and gave him the most game time. In the end Rashford couldn't accept that all the smoke that's been blown up his ass by desperate united fans who wanted to believe he was a generatioanl talent on par with the likes of Mbappe, isn't true.

The guy is toxic and he and his fanclub who puts players above the club need to understand that simply having pace, with no footballing iq isn't enough to justify a place in the squad let alone 250k per week. Macheda, David Bellion and Danny Wellbeck had pace and could run past players. It didn't stop them from being thrown in the scrap heap because they weren't fecking good enough and SAF didn't let sentimentality get in the way of where he wanted to take his team irrespective of a player being from the academy local lad bs.

If half of this shit surrounding his pathetic half assed performances where he can't even be bothered to run back, along with his extra curriculum activities (distracting his mind and focus away from football - which ole alluded to before having to bow down and apologise to the brat) was going on underneath SAF's watch, he'd have kicked a brick let alone a boot in this boy's face a long time ago before being shown the door out of the club, so he can play being Mahatma Gandhi and peace envoy nelson mandela/jk rowling some place else
Good post, I couldn't agree more.

I'd like to think this forum would calm down a little if Rashford moved on but let's face it when that happens you'll all just transfer your overly intense energy onto Sancho instead.

He’s nothing but a pretend to be do- gooder. It’s not about the children or making the world a better place, it’s about his profile, contract value and feeding into a messiah complex. The ugly truth is, Rashford does it all for self serving motives. It's not for the benefit of others, rather for the attention, adulation and kudos it brings to himself while getting to role play being a martyr and grievance-monger.

He is a character like that environmental activist Greta. Manipulated behind the scenes to be a political mouthpiece for SJWS to pull the heart strings for a lot of gullible people desperate for someone to worship as a saint. Rashford and his PR team saw an opportunity to raise his profile, use Man United to build is brand(because he wouldn't be doing this shit if he played for Wolves) and give him a David Beckham like status and an MBE for 3 days of work simply by exploiting the plight of poverty-stricken children to raise his own social media profile, and to attract lucrative sponsorship/endorsements deals for himself

These kind of narcissistic individuals often crave hero-worship and peer approval by promoting their own victimhood. Another way is to pass themselves off as 'virtuous' is by pretending to help others through promoting causes they know will bring them attention and virtue-signalling points they so desperately crave. In the case of rashford, it’s pretending to fill the bellies of hungry children when its really the tax payers funding it all. The fact is Marcus Rashford is nothing but an opportunist, using little kids for emotive value to garner sympathy and support to. I'd like to see how much money he has used out of his own pocket to support these causes instead of preaching and demanding others to do so.

There are people who tirelessly campaign for numerous worthy causes, fund raising for children in hospices, lobby local councillors and MP's, write letters, send e-mails to make changes to their area while working 9-5 jobs on minimum wage and are basically ignored. They don't post it all over social media for kudos
How utterly bizarre.

He used the platform he had to make a social change, his name and doing it publicly is the point. If he goes and has a private meeting with an MP he gets laughed out of the room, he used the pressure he was able to generate with his name to bring about positive change. It doesn't work if he does it quietly behind the scenes. When others campaign for change they use media avenues when they can get them for a reason because it widens the message and the potential support. Rashford started from a place of having that, you're saying he should purposefully avoiding using it? There's a difference between giving a donation to a cause and campaigning for social change, and if someone is doing the latter and they aren't using every opportunity to maximise visibility they aren't going to succeed.

Regarding the bolded part. So in one breath you're saying he shouldn't be posting it all over social media, in the next you're demanding receipts? Ha.

I'm tired of these egomaniacs at our club being protected to the point if you say something wrong about them or tell the truth, it's abuse.
Being critical of his performances and slating the person aren't really the same thing.

If this guy wasn't British, he would have been hounded out of the club like Martial. Martial was booed in his last appearance for us being going out on loan, all because he made it clear he wanted to leave. Rashford does even worse both on and off the pitch and instead gets flowers, love letters ,hugs and in depth documentary style psychoanalysis on why he's simply shit.
Criticising others for psychoanalysing whilst labelling him a narcissist and diagnosing him as having a Messiah complex is high grade bullshittery.

Not if he puts in good performances which is all we want really.

I think people bemoaning Rashford for his outside football work is crazy.

Yes it has put him further in the spotlight, but in a positive way.

On the pitch however, something is clear wrong and it isn't just him.

The club is in a very bad way from top to bottom and big changes are needed.

Poor performance, injury, lack of fitness (physically and mentally) have clearly turned a once promising player, into someone who needs a break, or a change in order to sustain a career of note.

Personally, if he left I'd be disappointed, because the club have ruined another player, however, I don't want players who don't want to wear the shirt with pride and effort, or those just taking the money for doing nothing.

The club is bigger than any player.

Who are the other plays the club have ruined?

"Marcus Rashford was the youngest of five siblings, who were looked after by their single mother Melani Maynard. The England international has previously detailed that his mother had to work multiple jobs to feed their family, sometimes skipping meals herself to ensure Rashford and his siblings ate. During his BBC Breakfast appearance, Rashford claimed that he remembers being hungry while growing up, but never complained because he knew that his mother was doing the best she could. The 23-year-old said, "If there was food on the table, there was food on the table. If there's not, I had friends who understood my situation and maybe it was possible for me to go to their house to get some food."

I've said it before and il say it again - the worst thing about this club is its fans. Imagine the rest of his family being confused when Rashford lies about his family being poor and hungry growing up :lol:

Liverpool fans are much much better people with a relation to football.

It can be though. And has already proven to be for so many youth products/young signings who tried hard, maybe did well at first, then found their level was too low for the club.

And what do you do with a youth product who finds their level is beneath the club, and stops working, not just to improve but even to do justice to their team mates? Because that's where we're at with Rashford.
It depends on what you think Rashford the player though, right. We’ve seen a much harder working player who was much more successful in the past. Is that his level and this is a prolonged dip? Has his injury permanently hampered him? It it mental struggles?

Very much agree with the bolded. I can’t speak for other clubs but the way this fanbase talk with such vitriol about players makes me wonder why many bother. It’s at a point where certain players failures off the pitch are celebrated more than anything done on it.

With all respect to his childhood and problems it has nothing to do what he does on the pitch as football player. People need to seperate those things.
He isn’t the first or sadly not last with childhood like that but that doesn’t give him or anyone playing football at high level any free card from criticism when they play badly.
He needs now to make some priorities. At 24 he is not a child. If I was in his shoes I would concentrate wholehearted on football. To save career. If he wants to play on highest level. Because right now it is going downhill. No social media for couple of months, no flying around world under break, no ”Jobs” outside football. When he start playing like he did couple of years ago he can continue with other things as long as it doesn’t affect him badly in some way.

Last, give his mother and every parent in those situations a medal. They do amazing work for their children.

And what did I say linked to his football?

People are calling him a narcissist self centred person because he is charitably helping things that actually effected him when he was younger. There is nothing else about it.

His football is a different story. Ever since his injury he hasn't had a single full good game for both Ole and Rangnick aswell as for England.

Plenty of players "lose it" or have to adapt their game after injuries (Kaka is one of the most famous ones or Michael Owen) - but when it might be happening/have happened to one of our players then its got some shit about how him having some PR and writing books for Children because he doesn't care about football but wants to continue growing his head.

You appear to be quite active in this thread and doesn’t look embarrassed at all.

Reminds me of an article about how shy Rashford was by asking coaching / feedback from Ole.

Should I be embarrassed for still liking and hoping for Rashford?

Rashford is a Manchester United football player. That is his primary job. He is failing miserably in that. He is not even making an effort.

The fans pay part of his salary. They have a right to be upset. He is putting more effort in things outside of football now.
Whatever good he does for the society, kudos to him but when it effects his football then fans have a right to be upset.
Many footballers do charity. They don't put it on Instagram every time they do it.

Many footballers also don't force the government into uturns to enable thousands of kids to be better fed.
There's some very serious 'all lives matter' vibes coming off some of the nasty personal attacks...

Isn’t the problem we’re told his PR work has no bearing on his football then when people criticise his football they’re directed to consider his PR work as mitigation?

Oh there's definitely some posts in this thread that are coming from a ideological view but being presented in such a way as to appear reasonable criticism (and failing at that).

@Superden
It's not even that.

People try to act like they know what a players personality is from the way they play football.

It's just no where near accurate.

I love that Rashford took the UK government to task over ensuring kids are fed. He’s already achieved more good than most of us could ever hope to do. It’s much more than just donating money, it’s advocating on behalf of minorities who are largely forgotten and putting himself in the firing line for doing so (the aborted Spectator article for example). It’s definitely not a stick to beat him with.

I hope this is true and he is listened to and hsi thoughts acted upon by the new manager.

I agree, I like Ragnick and think he is intelligent and really knows his football, doesnt seem like a proper man manager or even coach, but his 6months here could turn into being a blessing if he is lstened to.

I read (only press rumours) Ten Hag feeling no major work is needed in the transfer market, he is a coach and will improve the team and players at his disposable....god if thats true he is destined to fail for sure.

I think what Rashford has doen off the pitch is good and disagree with people salting him publicising it, of course he is goin gto, to get more traction. Personally being blunt and honest, as a fan of the club, I couldnt give two hoots what he is doing good or bad off of the pitch (oviously within limits....Greenwood), its what he does on it. And for me, that isnt nearly enough to be bothered at all if he leaves, would personally welcome a good transfer fee for him. Was far more excited in the early performances of Martial and Greenwood who both looked supremely talented, you could see th epotential and quality, I never rally bought into Rashford as more than a bright prospect doing great things early on, never saw a potential great at all

There's one thing for sure and that's that Marcus Rashford will never have a Manchester United legassay.

Marcus would be wise to take some time off from everything — football, politics and business pursuits — and come back to training mentally and physically refreshed. He looks a broken man, which at his age is absurd.

I'd like to think this forum would calm down a little if Rashford moved on but let's face it when that happens you'll all just transfer your overly intense energy onto Sancho instead.
Doesn't work like that. The majority of fans are not just brainless moaners who are looking for a fight. With Rashford there is just cause. Absolutely dog shit and completely unable to keep a low profile.
