An in-form Rashford is a lethal attacking weapon, so if we can get him to perform consistently then we should keep him.

The question is, is he able to maintain a top level form for long periods to make our attack strong?

If the answer is no then there is no point keeping as he is not serving the purpose of keeping him.

Rashford must go. He’s not elite enough to be this shit at pressing. We must sell him for £50m and build something new. Great lad, not good enough to be United’s main man.

Absolutely embarrassing player. Sell

Completely bottling a simple challenge to stop a counter that nearly leads to conceding sums him up

He is too bad off the ball and too thick on it for this football club. If he was a moderately paid backup then fine but he’s not.

Have we ever seen a player of us being a "boyhood United fan" playing with such low intensity/effort?
Every time players like Beckham, Neville, Hojlund or Ighalo etc played for us, I could strongly feel their desire to make the team they support win.
Even Lingard did try his best on the pitch when he was with us.

Yeah it's really weird. Maybe I didn't see it before bc Martial was such a debbie downer but Rashers is def the no.1 at this now.

Watching him today, and remembering we had the claim in here that Rashford should be the only one who decides when he leaves the club.......

I don't buy this anymore. He signed a contract last summer. If he was unhappy he could have asked to leave or just don't sign an extension. Surely, at this point money should not have been his main concern.

He just is a Ronaldo pretender. It just happens that he has half of his talent and physical abilities.

He needs to go. It's this shite today more often than it isn't from him. Even his rare good days are a goal and feck all else. We and he have feck all to show for his time at the club, he's not worth the hassle IMO. If another club can get more out of him then so be it, good for them, it's not working here.

He only scores goals. When he isn't doing that, he adds nothing. He's basically a better version of Antony.

Wherever he goes, do not sell him to another PL club. The thought that clown doing his point to empty head against us sets off blood pressure alarms.

Personally I'm done with him. I would absolutely sell him to PSG. No question. He may do great there, no regrets. Abysmal effort.

Forget driving him to the airport, I'll give him a piggyback all the way to Paris. He symbolises everything wrong with the club, entitled, lazy and thinks far to highly of himself.

Can't think of another United player that I've grown to dislike, after being so fond of initially. Apart from the obvious ones like Tevez and Heinze of course. It's sad but I hope we get rid of him sooner rather than later.

He's clearly on a massive decline. Need to cash in with PSG being desperate.

Complete opposite of Hojlund, we created nothing for him, but he certainly didn't work to make sure he was available. Not to blame for the defeat, we can't defend, create nor hold the midfield, but he certainly doesn't help. Should have stuck Antony up top, least he'd make a pest of himself, Maguire would probably have even been a better option.

Why play him at forward? Just because he was semi-adequate there about 5 years ago doesn't mean he can still play there. We moved around our most dangerous option and the only one who could give us any width in Garnacho (since ETH refuses to allow fullbacks to overlap) and put an already shaky form player in Rashford up top where he offers literally nothing. He has zero traits required of a center forward. No hold up, no physicality, no instinctive runs in the box, and no pressing ability.

He was awful…

His effort was awful…

No excuse for that.

But…

How many times do managers have to see him be absolutely useless at Number 9 before stopping trying it. Has he had a single good game there in 7 years?

Then try something else ffs!

Manager lets him do whatever he wants, walks around the pitch and pretends to press and tackle. Pathetic.

He’s bigger than the club. Stinks out every week putting in zero effort yet gets selected every match. I refuse to believe it’s only the manager who’s a coward. The whole club is scared of the bad PR if he doesn’t play. A trash player like him has become bigger than the club. The day he’s sold we will finally be free to set some standard again.

I’ve always been leaning towards persisting with him, I’ve felt he’s had so many managers, with so many different ideas I’ve always felt like he’s deserved the benefit of the doubt any time he’s gone through a bad patch, but that has ended today.

There is absolutely zero excuse to play sport, at any level, and not give 100%. No reason. Even less than zero reason if you are being paid 350k a week to play for the club that you are meant to love. His attitude and application in games is beyond pathetic. I truly hope PSG see enough in him to make a significant bid for him in the summer to replace Mbappe, a move is undoubtedly the best thing for both Rashford and Manchester United.

Not a striker. But we've long established this.

It's the club's fault we've basically ended with a 20 year old rookie and then Martial a few games a season as our only options up there.

A player that has been an awful striker every single time he has played as one... delivers an awful performance as a striker. No one could have seen that coming.

It's incredible he has managed to fool so many people into thinking he is good enough for a team that's supposed to be challenging. His ability is good, but nothing special, and most definitely not world class. Which, of course, you don't necessarily need to be a successful player competitively. But all of that is being made much worse by his indolence. His best attribute is being marketable. If PSG come and offer anything in the region of £70 million, I'd snap their hands of and run before they can come to their senses.

If there’s any truth in the PSG rumours let him go.

Lets move all the wasters from this era on.

He’s not done that yet. He’s always been inconsistent and even when he’s smashing it he doesn’t play particularly well, he just scores goals (which of course is the point of the game). He doesn’t press, he’s not overly aggressive or brave and drops his head when things don’t go his way. I’m firmly in the rashford out camp but I’d love to be proven wrong, as with any united player.

Imagine Conte being the manager and Rashford putting in his half arsed efforts….he’d be dragged off instantly. (Not saying I’m a fan of conte at all but would be hilarious to see him dealing with Rashford)
