He was upfront when he was appointed as an interim manager. And moved wide the following season.
And he has never been an option for Ole up front again because he didn't really play well there. He then excelled on the left in 19/20 and his output remained very good for most of the following season.
I'm not really sure what your point is but Rashford has played upfront for Ole, started there in 2015 and has been excellent. And @DevilRed isn't suggesting that he should be used exclusively as a striker but that he should be used closer to goal which is true and fits with the best versions of Rashford that we have seen whether we are talking about LVG or Ole, as a striker or inside forward.
Thats exactly it. I remember the days pre-Fergie so I don't know what people are talking about when they invoke the ol' 'falling standards' crap.
My point is that buying Cavani had nothing to do with Rashford's position which is what his post indicated.
I think we just need to get him further up the pitch and closer to goal. Also in more counterattacking situations.
Looking at best position, I like our balance atm.
He has actually been further from goals in the past 20 months and less willing to move into crowded central areas from wide. In fact since shots per 90 have gone down dramatically, 1.6 last season compared to 2.4 in 20-21 and 3.2 in 18-20. I'm also under the impression that his touches per game in and around the box have decreased significantly and he is more likely to be found low in the opposition half.
I honestly didn't think there was any discernable difference with Elanga whether he played LW or RW last season.Does It really matter ? Does anyone count him as a strong candidate for our team in the future ? I really do not see anything that would suggest there is a player in there. Other then being quick i seriously not see anything he is good at. Right now we have only Sancho so we desperately need someone for that other side.Elanga is a left winger. Literally said so himself in interview last week
I know, he’s mostly played RW for Rangnik. But he’s mostly played LW before, and he has stated himself left is his preferred position.
Hopefully Ten Hag has that midas touch.
Reckon a good portion of all these links to Dutch players is just lazy journalism. Happened with LVG as well.
Is he one of the most productive in that league?
If you want to ignore his CL and cup games for some strange reason, then he’s still the most productive right winger in the league.
Brilliant you can make such snap judgements of young talent
Your quite right - just pure click bait speculation - nobody really knows what Utd are up to or not - but the longer it goes without a signing the more the frenzy continues.
I would take that
well that's not true. Jesper Karlsson, Gakpo, Tadic, Sinisterra all match or better and I barely even went down the list of top scorers.
And they're all left wingers.
correct. was testing you
Martial was Ole's main striker. Rashford almost exclusively played from the left.
I'd fecking carry him to spain/italy/germany if someone would take him for a fee
And LVG actually signed two Dutchmen from the Eredivise. So not really lazy journalism.
If this transfer is reliant in money raised from a Martial sale then we may as well forget about it.
its annoying because debut season Martial was a higher level than Antony but he fell off. Biggest disappointment. We thought Shaw and Martial would be the best left side in the league
So if a forward, center back and fullback depends on sales that would mean the immediate budget would all go into the midfield right, considering Eriksen if a free transfer do we plan on acquiring three midfielders?
