I know he’s not in good form but he didn’t look right physically in that first half. Thought he might have been carrying an injury in the first half or maybe he was just knackered.

Over the last few years, he has rarely been "in form". There was the purple patch when Ole came in, and only sporadic periods where he delivered.So using the word 'couldn't' I assume you are talking about today's game.
I think we all know he is woefully out of form but to suggest that when he is on his game he lacks quality and class just comes across as slightly churlish.
He is 21 and already has 34 senior England caps and 30 goals in 117 PL games .. pretty impressive I would say.
This....100% spot onOver the last few years, he has rarely been "in form". There was the purple patch when Ole came in, and only sporadic periods where he delivered.
Welbeck and Heskey had quite a few senior England caps too, they weren't very good players. 30 goals in 117 games is not very impressive to me, his goal per mins ratio
is only barely better than Welbeck's ratio while Welbeck often was not able to get a run of games in a row.
Beyond the stats though, and beyond today's game, he has always seemed to have such a mediocre touch, and close control dribble. He is a far cry from the quality of Sterling, Sancho,
Mbappe, Bernardo Silva... and our very own James, Martial and Greenwood. He just seems to be so clunky and unnatural in his touches and movements with only his pace as his saving grace.
We all hope for him to come good, but … I see him as a very very average player, closer to championship level than the top of the PL.
Welbeck was fantastic for England and for us .. he even got selected by Sir Alex for the big Euro ties/games. His problem was staying fit and constant injuries.Over the last few years, he has rarely been "in form". There was the purple patch when Ole came in, and only sporadic periods where he delivered.

Probably not. Feels like hes regressed the last two years, which is not something you should be doing at 21I’m starting to feel like if he wasn’t from Manchester would he even be in the first team?
We build up these youth products as some sort of untouchable holier than thou players.
It surely goes to their heads.
The best we ever saw Rashford was when mourinho pitted him against martial. he needs competition and to know he’s not safe.
I hope those people realized football is also a game that you play with your head and "passion"/"Uniteds DNA" can only take you so far.There were people that actually though rasjford was a better player than Martial. what a scary thought. Im also pretty sure some still think this.
Martial should be the starting central forward. Rashford should compete against James for the spot on the left wing. This season James has shown more than Rashford so Rashford should be on the bench. Ole loves his Rashy though so he will likely just place James on the right so he can play Rashford.I’m starting to feel like if he wasn’t from Manchester would he even be in the first team?

Before he got a new contract, maybe. Now i doubt we find any takers.Sell him while he still has a bit of value.
I thought that was the cunning plan with the likes of Jones, young and smallingBefore he got a new contract, maybe. Now i doubt we find any takers.
He's rated highly in football circles. There will be plenty of takers.Before he got a new contract, maybe. Now i doubt we find any takers.
Oh, 'football circles', I see . Does that mean Everton? Not sure they're gonna put themselves into administration by coughing up the wages he's on now as well as a transfer fee.He's rated highly in football circles. There will be plenty of takers.
He's been playing like that for over a year now. Doubt anyone can give the benefit of doubt regarding form. Think this is his level.Nightmare form he is in. If it's form only...

Maybe it was deliberate cause he saw the oppo player nearing him, and therefore he wanted to cut inside a little bit more.Tweet

This run summed up Rashford, all pace and no brain. Not sure how he left the ball behind.
If arsenal can sell iwobi we can certainly sell him. Owen called him world class today. Arent Newcastle desperate for a no9? Spurs might be attracted to his potential?Oh, 'football circles', I see .

He needed to shoot or keep running away from the defender instead he did that, brainless.Maybe it was deliberate cause he saw the oppo player nearing him, and therefore he wanted to cut inside a little bit more.
my eyes lit up when he skipped the challenge but then 1 second later I calmed down knowing little would come from it. I didn't expect it to be that bad, he just seems defeated in generalTweet

"Tammy Abraham would never". What a moron thqat Twitter user i, I love Tammy but he makes lots of mistakes as most 21 year olds (inc Rashford) do.Tweet

it was clearly obvious the bias was from a United academy/Nationality point of view. I mean isnt it strange that only our own fanbase think they are both equal talents? Rashford has the ability to be a good player for us but if we want to turn things around we cant have management thinking he is first team material. he should be second striker at the club behind martial when we have a good starting 11.I hope those people realized football is also a game that you play with your head and "passion"/"Uniteds DNA" can only take you so far.
