The most telling thing today was that chance after chance fell to Mason Greenwood. He also created quite a few.

That's a good striker in the making.

Rashfords talents rely heavily on outpacing the back line. He needs to work on the mental side of the game.

 

[3KDré]

I don't think he is a good player at all.

 

[UNITED ACADEMY]

I wonder why the Barcelona rumour has stopped

I’ll give Greenwood a chance & buy a world class striker.

 

[Foxbatt]

He is fecking useless. We need someone who is less selfish too. It's all these English commentators like Gary Neville etc praising him day in and day out that's gone to his head. I have said this in the past too when he came on the scene and they started praising him like that.

 

[Adisa]

Abysmal footballer.

Like a world class player would sign for this train wreck at the moment. Which world class striker will come here? Maybe a washed up player like Higuain

 

[Hoof the ball]

Rashford might only be 21, however, he's now not inexperienced. Criticisms become valid when players move out of inexperience. Development is expected in a players game, even if they are not scoring. More than scoring 5-6 more goals a season, Rashford needs to work on and develop his decision making and his execution in general play, otherwise, moves are going to frustratingly end in loose passes or ill-weighted ones.

Mancunian agbonhalor

That's the guy!

For some reason before, I started thinking about that decent Villa side of 2007-09-ish.

Milner, Reo-Coker, Barry, Young. Then I was like "who was the guy who played up front with John Carew"

 

[Paxi]

Rashy. fecking hate that pet name.

 

[rpitchfo]

Please please please take him out of the central striker role. Needs a season or two learning his trade on the wing. Switching from the left to the right and banging in crosses and learning how to run the line. Learn his trade from wide like many top strikers have before him.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Rashy. fecking hate that pet name.

It’s as hideous as our football.

 

[Posh Red]

Rashy. fecking hate that pet name.

Better than ‘beanz’ To be fair.

 

[IrishMcD]

Over-rated, over hyped, can't stand the praise he gets from British media....himself and "J.Lingz" are mid table level at best but seem to think they are superstars. Clowns. I have never disliked a United player, some like Darren Fletcher and Jonny Evans pissed me off at times but my god I cannot stand the majority of this squad. It sickens me to see some of these idiots swanning around wearing the United crest on their shirt, barely breaking sweat and thinking the world owes them something. Sell the whole lot of them, "Rashy" and his stupid long range free kicks can feck off too.
Yes I have had a few drinks after the Cardiff match and I'm feeling a little bit cranky, apologies for the rant

Beanz? Not sure I follow?

[KennyBurner]

We are fecked if he is our main striker moving forward. I have never rated him as highly as some of you here. How can we praise a forward who has mental attributes? Eveything good about him is physically related. Rooney was physical but also had good mental attributes. I'm just praying that we can get in a striker than can do more than just run. In the meantime Its fine to have rashford as a useful player supporting whomever we get in this summer.

 

[goin4glory]

He's an athlete but technically average. Will end up as Welbeck 2.0

 

[SteveW]

Needs the summer. Wish people would get off his back. He's an honest player with a good attitude. Bad spells of form happen.

 

[Posh Red]

Beanz? Not sure I follow?

It’s what Lingard calls him

 

[Frank Grimes]

He's an athlete but technically average. Will end up as Welbeck 2.0

Welbeck's link up play was far superior to Rashford's. Unfortunately he turned into Bambi on ice in the box.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Much like he was under Jose, Rashford tends to play the game with a fair amount of tension and overall emotion.He's too desperate at times trying to force the issue,which was unlike him when he was first introduced into the first team under LVG. The fact United aren't particularly good at the moment doesn't help nor the fact that Rashford,and the same will likely apply to Greenword,isn't learning from a far more experienced strike partner ,and the one there is (Lukaku) also has issues with his overall game and mentality and will likely not be at the club in the upcoming season.

Overall,he's still naive with his game at present and it'll be wrong for us to go into next season with Rashford as the sole first team consistent striker.
He's still,understandably,has far more to learn in his overall attacking role but he's also in desperate need for a Ibrahimovic figure alongside him to learn from and one where he can develop at a more gradual pace under a the wing of such a forward.

Cue the usual Rashford hyperbole from the UK media suggesting the English forward should look elsewhere if United were to bring in a slightly more experienced forward,though.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Not as good as he thinks he is. Theo Walcott 2.0.

 

[haram]

This is what happens with young players. Now the Caf is turning on him when he has too much responsibility. When will people learn.

Exactly.The more responsibility Ole will put on Rashford the more tensed up and erratic he'll be.Ole may think he's doing Rashford a favour, and Rashford himself maybe coming across as a player who can take such a major responsibility in his stride,but the facts and what we're seeing are the opposite.
He shouldn't be carrying this clubs striking lead at his age and one where he clearly still has so much more to learn from.

Exactly. People on here were desperate for him to have more responsibility as the striker and now they are calling him shit. It's laughable.

S'right. He's a very good player but he's no Whiteside who could handle the responsibility at an early age.

 

[BrianMcClair'sBarnet]

Let him develop at his own pace instead of bombarding him with the sole responsibility in getting us back up the table,from a striking standpoint.
It'll be very naive if Ole relies far too heavily on Rashford next year as our main forward.

 

[RooneyLegend]

Heard Everton needs a striker. Insert a buy back clause.

 

[Gordon S]

Heartbreaking to see such a big talent look so completely devoid of confidence and desire.
The guy looked so lively and fearless at the start of his career!

I believe this is an extension of a bigger problem at hand, a lack of proper leader figure in our club that can help settle the nerves when necessary.

Watch Rashford during Greenwood's attempts yesterday. Multiple times Greenwood was moving into good positions to anticipate the ball whilst Rashford was stood still waiting for the ball to drop. Top strikers just know where the chance is going to be and are already on the move before it happens. Rashford just doesn't have that ability. He's a decent player but how long until the club realises hes not a 9 and stops trying to turn him into one?

 

[JJ12]

The criticism is a bit over the top but expected after the way he and the rest of the team finished the season.

In my opinion his best position is out wide. Excellent pace, can hit the ball from distance, decent technique but still a bit too rash in everything. Needs to be a bit more composed and less selfish.

Not got the attributes to be a top striker.

 

[Vanya]

He's young and surrounded by average players. These group of players even make Pogba look third rate, so what do people expect?!

Yes, Rashford is not Ronaldo in the making. He's half the player Ronaldo was at the same age. However not long ago Rashford was scoring and creating chances for fun. I think we would see that level more often if he is 100% fit and surrounded by world class talent.

 

[CaptainAvengers]

Too busy smashing Amber Davies's back doors in to give a feck about training and football.

"The ego has landed" springs to mind..

 

[mostar94]

Should we tell that to Josh King who has outscored Rashford for the past 4 years because I don't see world class around him.

His dribbling isn't good enough for the wing.

 

[Adisa]

When he loses the ball, he doesn't bother chasing anymore. Entire club is a mess. Even the things that were good before have turned bad.

 

[iKeano]

Mr. DT did call him the Mancunian Agbonlahor

Bravo!

This.

A few of our players will look like new purchases once surrounded by a better side.
Aside from Pogba though I can’t say with any certainty which players they are though.
