You can not convince me that Rashford can be good enough up front or on the wing. He has always been a disastrous finisher other than his first season under LVG

Where is there a place for him? Can't dribble, can't beat a man and not a great crossed so not good enough for the wing. Dreadful finisher and not strong, so not good enough for up top.

At least if he plays like that again this year, we won't entertain the idea to renew him (hopefully).

They are rubbish. Don’t expect anything from any of them because you are only setting yourself up for disappointment again. Basic things seem too difficult to pull off for Rashy and Mctom. The whole Brighton 11 make some of our average players look exactly what they are.

Players with clearly inferior technique seem to get a pass in England. It was the same with Welbeck, Jones and recently Rashford. They have some attributes like paces, maybe shooting, maybe something else but no one can argue that it's obvious they never had that finesse on the ball. Players like that could have had a great career in the PL before the '00s but with how technical the game is and how much is expected of players in condensed spaces, that lack of finesse is too much of a handicap at the top level.

He was disgraceful today. It was summed up by him not challenging for a header with 2 minutes to go. Absolute waste of space. I've never witnessed such a downfall from a player (if you can call him player)!

What ever happen to Dele Ali has happened to Rashford. Shadows of their former selfs who should be no where near the England team.

This has to be Rashfords last season if no improvement

Sancho should play LW with Rashford his understudy, until Rashford makes a valid claim to be a starter. This requires us signing a RW, obviously.

Tbh for a few seasons Rashford has ended up as a starter by default, as there was nobody else. He's never truly earnt it, aside from one good season under Ole.

Manchester United would never sell Marcus Rashford because it would be bad for PR.

Not a football club in the traditional sense anymore, we are a corporate entity and in 2022 certain things are done (or not done) to make the organisation appear a certain way.

He makes stupid decisions on the pitch, which is obviously what he meant
So do a number of his counterparts, yet Rashford is the ‘dumb’ one. . .
He's a dumb footballer, I don't know him as a person to judge his overall intelligence.
As above.
By being feckin stupid he is being shite player and that's it.
As above.
Yes the yes men who support any shit player we have because we're different we're united
Not sure where you’re headed here Gif.
There's no way you didn't realise he was referring to his playing intelligence.
Refer to response 1.

Any second more he spends out on the pitch for us is an insult to the fans.

No ambitious club would put up with a player playing appalling for 2 seasons

It looks like it’s United who needs to wash his image and not some other clubs… That’s really sad.
