But he is depressed, and disabled
Rashford considering his future...
- Thread starter Jericholyte2
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Perhaps not you personally but in regards to a lot of the criticism in general you can't make that claim going off the last few pages of this thread.
Seems like Rooney doesn't want him to leave United because he is a United lad

Guess he's going to get what he wants, a fat new paycheck for his absolutely disgraceful performances, nothing new from this club
Cheaper to keep under performing players than sign new ones I guess. It'll never change while the Glazers own the club
Next is probably Jlingz.
like i said before he's having a poor season he just has to play his way back into form. there's no other way
work on his fitness, clear his head, make those opportunties count.

I agree, its called 'running into a brick wall', its what happens when your life moves faster then you anticipate and at the same time the thing your good at stops working.
Surely with all their resources the club can get him the help he needs?
This culture of rewarding players who don’t deserve it is one of our biggest problems. Breeds players who aren’t interested in winning at all, this is a large part of the reason why barely anyone in our squad seems motivated by glory.
Motivated by anything.
Imagine a new coach coming in and threatening to boot players out of the club. Every player will be laughing their faces off. They know that the club decides their futures, not the coach.
Maybe that's the way it should be? At a lot of clubs you have a Sporting Director or a President that decides the philosophy of the club and fits the pieces inside that. However, the worry is the guys doing it at our club? Do we think Richard Arnold has as clear an idea of how the club needs to go as say Laporta at Barca..?
Yeah, seeing more of Rashford the saviour sulking around OT and Luke 'one good season out of 8 but I want love' Shaw is really going to get my excitement levels up for next season.
Bring in Poch and we will be on a firm trajectory to the Conference league year in, year out.
So rangnick wasn't backed because the board didn't want to impose players on the new permanent manager but they will still handout bumper contracts to lazy fecks without consulting the said permanent manager or delaying the contract negotiations by a couple of months until the said permanent manager is here ?
Cant expect this club to do a single right thing. Keep rewarding mediocrity. Why would anyone put 100% effort when you can get renewals by putting in absolute dogshit performances week in week out?
Well said, both you and @Bebestation . It can get so depressing to read so much vitriol and hate.
fecking hell. These guys used to get rewarded for mediocrity. Now they're getting rewarded for downright failure.
Man it’s gotta be easy to be a footballer playing for ManUtd. Have a couple good years, then start sucking at your job, get a pay raise. I wish my company was run this way too.
I understand wanting to keep him, but a new deal? Unless its on reduced wages (we all know it isn’t) it makes no sense.

If true, this is a ridiculous decision to extend Rashford's contract right now.
where were you guys when Fellaini and others faced much more than what they are saying about Rashford?
Hes been utterly dreadful for way longer than just this season. He has turned into Jesse Lingard without the running around bit.
I agree. I do feel it’s not what we are exposed to here which are online trolls though.
What a bizarre strawman. I personally don't remember Fellaini baselessly being compared to someone who has sexual assault/rape charges against him.
Why would we even want to open contract negotiations with Rashford and Shaw before the new manager is announced?
I don't know it might be the best time due to their low stock at the moment. But I would lower the wages.
didn't know Rashford is being compared to Greenwood who has these charges against him?
I think Rooney and Ronaldo were pretty close as well
Agreed. Both Bruno and Rashford with the extensions have plenty of time remaining. Things can be sorted out in the summer re: new contracts.
When has this club not done anything stupid since Fergie left?
In this very thread, unfortunately.
I can understand people being frustrated with the players, and Rashford has been poor all season so deserves criticism for his performances. But sometimes people go too far.
Can't believe the hate Rashford is getting on here. I firmly believe there is a good player in him and we've all seen glimpses of it. We've been horrendously managed thus far and it is no surprise most of our players are underperforming.
Whilst a long term contract for Rashford is pure silliness, he should be given a chance next season under new management.

Him being my namesake makes it difficult for me to say this. But if he does not start really focusing on his day job, I really don't want to see him at the club. He cannot say that his other activities have no effect until he actually gives them up for us and him to judge.
Who's making the decisions to give players contracts?
Rudder less ship
Absolute farce
Rashfords on about 250k, what Next?
The guys sulking at the treatment of Lingaard and Martial
Sell him, far far better players out there.

Fair assessment. Does he still have active ambassadorial duties outside of football? If he does, then it is most certainly a distraction at this stage of his career and season.
Really want him to succeed and regain that drive we once saw, the kind of imperious form we witnessed in that FA Cup game a couple of seasons ago against Crystal Palace.
Shhh. They only defended the British core. You could see they trashed other players like Martial, Pogba, etc all the time. Hypocrisy at its best.
It’s concerning not only how some fans didn’t (and evidently still don’t) see it but how nobody at the club saw the decline coming a mile off. He’s a really poor footballer - or least his football has been of an appalling standard - and has been for 14/18 months and yet until very, very recently he’d start any game he’d want to.
Why were they do slow to see what was obvious?

There is another way.
Get rid of him
With the season Bruno, Rashford and Shaw are having, how are they being offered contract extensions?
Perform like amateurs crybabies and we will reward you.
what kind of management is this?
No incentives to perform, that’s the easy beautiful life.

This summer?
Doubt that 's happening..
One could hazard a guess and argue that his debut came at a time when everybody in and around the club was desperately looking for a new hero. We had already gone through the Moyes debacle and it was starting to look that LvG would not be able to elevate the team to its previous heights. Rashford came on on that February Thursday night and he was a breath of fresh air, something to lift the hopes of a disheartened fanbase.
And, of course, Woodward and co. would not let the opportunity pass them by. After all, United are famous for their faith in their academy products. We were failing on the pitch and the high echelons at the club could not figure out why. But they could sell to the fans and to the rest of the world the face of a new era. Here's Marcus and he will lead us forward to new glories.
It doesn't help when the footballing people can't be heard or are non-existent in the club. Outside the United bubble, very few people could see MMM as a potent atracking trident that could spearhead the title hopes of any side in the toughest league in the world for a decade. Too many things lacking, talent wise. But here we were, being jolly and comparing Rashford to Mbappe and thinking Martial is some dribbling God.
The worst thing is the club believed the hype it had helped create. Now, we still don't know what's wrong, the fans have had enough of the owners and the players and some of the players believe that it's not their fault it's come to this. Overinflation due to lack of good judgement. And trust me they will keep feeding the bubble (new contracts) for as long as they can, because they know they can't deal with bursting it.

Well this is an British Club so maybe go support another club in another country if you cant stand the British core so much. PSG?
Absolute bell end and I hope you never become a proper member on this site.
I hate this hate people try to create by increasing a problem with the British players on our squad; acting like we never had success with them ever before.
Don't reply to me Jack'as*.
