What would you suggest we do, bin the academy and pump all our resources into overseas players? Can you even remember the last time we recruited a non-English/homegrown player that turned out to be an unequivocal success?
Dont think either of these are even considered newspapers in England. Correct me if i am wrong.
Personally dont agree. He was good last season the injury put off as was there wasnt other players available to play there. If you go back to LVG and Mourinho, he had great spells and lots of periods of "is he a left winger or a striker?" it wasnt really quite working in either position, lets not forget he and Matial were often fighting for the same spot and neither of them nailing it down and often frustrating.
The same reports come out every time we get a new manager. I remember seeing the same with rangnick, that he was excited and ready to prove himself.
Hit the nail on the head.
but the point is, although I am open to being wrong, is that I don’t think the guy has declined in that same way. He strikes me as someone who’s got some sort of mental block.
No he wasn’t that good previous seasons either. People were making excuses for him in 2020.
Except he isn’t suited to ETH’s football at all. Even at his best Rashford has always been really poor when we are on the front foot attacking teams who are defending deep.
It makes no sense to sell him.
He’s been rubbish for 3 years , it’s just he can’t even get a goal or assist this season and he’s no stats to deviate from the fact that he’s been performing like rubbish for a while now
Yeah, he scored 17 Premier League goals two years ago without being a striker in many games and last year broke the 20 goal barrier (all competitions) again while playing with a crippling injury the entire season. He was also indisputably one of our most important players during both those seasons. But sure, he's been rubbish for three years.
It's strange hoe certain players are given so many excuses or so much time. He's not just been poor but he looks 100% un-interested when he does play. If that was any other player he would have been kicked into the reserves years ago. It's where Utd have gone wrong since Fergie left. We give sub standard players far too much leeway.
If he wasn’t English and saving the world he would have been moved on this summer
What crippling injury he had last year? That was just before Covid, IIRC. Yeah he scored 20 goals in 57 appearances. Not exactly what you expect from one of the highest earners in the world. He was not bad, but not great either. He was decent, but he went missing in the big games (Liverpool, Sevilla, Villarreal). He was not good enough for a team competing for the league in the past, he is definitely not good enough now. And he will never be.
I agree. IMO its probably due to the injury he carried, was he forced to play on by Ole and the club, or was it his own idea, "I can play through this to help out and to make sure I get my place in the Euro squad". Either way, perhaps it was a bit of both, who knows; then there was the racist abuse he suffered after the Euro's, all of this is playing in his head. If you then add the shock of CR's return, which should have helped him, but probably lowered his confidence even further.
But his form this season and the latter half of last season don't scream 'new and improved' contract, the lad and his team speak like they are doing United a favour by demanding a longer and more lucrative contract that his performances haven't earned. This line of thinking is the root of player power that has engulfed this club, he should be thinking about proving himself worthy to stay at the club and the mere fact that he is deluded enough to think that he is in a position to dictate terms shows how and why we now nothing more than a banter club more concerned with social media engagements than goals and trophies.
The Barca interest was true 2 years ago when they were linked with every good up and coming talent in world football. His PR team are still using this interest to this day even though there's no way in a million years Barca would go anywhere near him with the form he's produced since then. The same as PSG. And Liverpool

Not sure. Do fans really care about this stuff these days?
Couldn't care less who he gives his shirt to. I'm more concerned that he's currently a terrible footballer and offers nothing of value to the team
Is he a nice lad? He plays like he can’t be arsed and within hours of being thrashed in the derby where his contribution was a disgrace the minions under his charge were leaking to any source that would listen that his phone hasn’t stopped ringing with offers
His PR team and agent aren't stupid. They'll milk this club for everything they can.
To be honest I'm not arsed. I used to be under the impression that he was arrogant but apparently he is a genuinely nice lad off the field and this is what I've heard from people who actively dislike/d him. He is playing terribly at the moment and rightfully so deserves to be hung drawn and quartered.
They probably couldn’t get any United fans to accept.
How come Danny Weldbeck hates us? I have read anything towards this account. He asked to leave and we let him leave.
Why do you feel the need to lie? He loves the club and left for a multitude of reasons.
What makes you say this? Over half of united fans I speak to bring up the fact that Rashford should focus on football and believe that his football has regressed since getting involved in social matters.
The only difference between his performances now and then, is that he was getting the goals to mask over how poor his performances really were. Now, his performance levels and overall contribution have gone down, he's also not getting the goals to cover it up anymore. People are finally seeing him for what he really is as a player.
