In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Get him gone - raise your standards caf goers
He's literally making 10 times as much as the wingers on my team but brings 10% of what they bring. Mindblowing to see how bad he has become.
Style of play and level of performance is just so predictable. We look better without him.
Needs to be dropped, give him Copenhagen at home to try and earn his place in the derby at the end of the month.

How can he be THE problem? We have many problems as a team. Who scores if he is not in the team?
I don't understand this fanbase sometimes. If Bruno, a midfielder, has an anonymous game - nothing said. If he has a terrible game but scores/assists he gets applauded and every time he lost the ball before that doesn't matter because he came up with something decisive. This is despite the fact that a midfielders main job is to help us control the game. When Rashford a FORWARD whose job is to get goals does the same thing he gets berated.
Rashford has had a bad start to the season, so has Casemiro and Bruno. With Casemiro, after 1 good game everything is forgotten. With Bruno, not a peep is said.
Then there is the 'work rate' thing. Fans expect Rashford to press every ball, then track back sprinting and then sprint forward every time we get the ball all while being our main outlet on the counter. Do you not think it's by coincidence he is rarely injured and has played 55-60 games last year? If you watch other games, Mbappe, Leao play quite similarly and have the same role in the team as him. It's not a lazy work rate - he is the main outlet, he needs to stay forward and save his energy for the crucial moments.
His progression season to season has been poor. His output might be better but he still plays the game like a 12 year old playing FIFA.
19 year old Garnacho plays with more intelligence and maturity than Rashford at 25. That's what we are dealing with.
Was he that bad or do we all just have an agenda against this world class player?
I'm torn
I'm torn
But he does the same with every other LB we have played.
A 19 year old Garnacho plays with more maturity than a 25 year old Rashford with 366 club appearances
You wouldn't exactly call Garnacho a mature player on the ball either

We need him to occasionally pass the ball.
That is the issue with Rashford and if Erik watches this every game and in training yet somehow has never said "Hey Marcus ever try just passing the ball" then it's on the manager too.
He is shocking. If he continues like this it's not a bad form because it happens very often, but standard performance, and his good moments will be something extraordinary from him.
No words for this useless twat
It translates to 'I'm allergic to even entertaining the fact that Rashford might be to blame for his bad form'
With the right opponent, playing the right kind of defensive strategy, when there's enough time since his latest injury so as to be not playing on his mind, if playing in his ideal position and if he's not had an argument with his girlfriend, stayed up all night, isn't worrying about climate change or his charity work, with a tail wind, favourable conditions and the right kind of left back behind him - on his day - he's decent.
I remember several instances today in the first half where shooting was the better option but he decided to try and slide someone in? Let's also be objective here, if Rashford doesn't score no one does. Don't you think he shoot so much because he HAS to.
Garnacho was awful in the first 3 games where he started, I agree. The funny thing is Rashford has been even worse, and over even more games.
If he did that, it just reflects on his poor decision making. He is in his prime and should know when to shoot and when to pass. He has zero intelligence.
We won 3-0 against Palace last match. Without Rashford.
No it doesn't. Rashford has been poor, so has Ten Hag. We can scapegoat everyone not just our favoured targets.
Not sure how the lack of a left-back is an excuse. He still got the ball in dangerous positions a lot and more than anyone in the team till Garancho came on.
It's funny you say that because the game where we scored the most goals this season is where he wasn't playing
. At this point, Rashford could stand still in the same spot for 90 minutes without touching the ball and his PR team will find a way to make it the teams fault.He was terrible today. Needs to do much better. It's not an agenda but you can't put in that kind of performance and not expect to be criticised.
It manifests itself so many times. I think some of the fanbase have become acclimatised to the fact Rashford will squander six or seven opportunities a, match. Either directly by running into a cul-de-sac of defenders and shooting into someone's legs, or indirectly by making every single run by every single team mate completely redundant as he'll ignore every single one.
Everyone's so used to it now, I'm not sure it's something that even gets noticed any longer. It's just an accepted part of how we play. It's like that cake at a picnic you leave for the wasps. We leave the cakes out for Rashford to waste. It just has to be naturally factored in.
ExactlyIt's funny you say that because the game where we scored the most goals this season is where he wasn't playing
His problem is that when it's not working out, he has no "basic" game to revert to. He looks like a winger who spends all his training time running at players but neglecting any other aspect of the game.
I agree. Ten Hag 100% deserves a lot of the blame for our poor form, but Rashford's decision making and horrendous form has nothing to do with ETH 'leaving him isolated'.
If Rashford doesn't score no one does? He's got one goal in a season where so far we have scored 13, with 9 different scorers. This myth has to die. He had a great season last year, but claiming no one else scores is simply wrong and certainly not objective.
This guy is going to get the manager sacked. Absolutely useless output and even worse attitude this season.
One day a new manager will join us and totally ignore the club, media and fan pressure for this guy to be seen as one of the stars that leads us to success.
He’s a rotational player at a top team but we’ve been trying to force him to be a star which he just isn’t.
Most attackers if given the freedom to be as careless as he is will have semi decent numbers. Again Southgate seems to be the only manager to not fall for the hype of our wide players as Sancho and Rashford have pretty much always been bench players for him.
His two month purple patch last season got him a contract he really didn’t deserve.

He turns the ball over unnecessarily so many times that he leaves me pulling my hair out.
We lost that game because both Rashford and Bruno showed little to no composure in the final third. If we had players in the final third who looked to retain and recycle possession, we would've won that game imo. Our moves were constantly breaking down prematurely.

Yeah this is what it boils down to. He's all icing, no cake
What a pathetic response
I don’t think any of our attacking mids or forwards have been worth backing. That’s the issue. I don’t think it matters who plays too much, as the wider system to support them isn’t there.
How do we want to score goals in general? Casemiro is one of our biggest threats currently.
There were those of who called it a mistake at the time, even after his 30 goal season.
Agreed. My old account was banned 3 years ago for calling Rashford out.
He can't keep playing as shit as that. If he continues this and ETH keeps playing him, it'll get him sacked.
Garnacho didn't do well when he started some games at the start of the season, but he deserves another shot.

The number of times his passes went straight to opposing defender was mind boggling.
Na mate, its definitely an agenda.
Well that's on the manager for knowing that and just keeping him on the pitch to do what he is doing
Not exactly been WC.
You just knew as soon as we gave him that stupid contract Ole era Rashford was coming back. He's completely detrimental to our game at the moment and must be dropped.
Would just wrong to start him ahead to garnacho next game
