I'd find a way to kick his ass all the way to Saudi Arabia if PSG don't want him. Heck, I would boot him to China even at a loss.
I wouldn't trade Rashford with oil/Arabs dirty money.I'd happily drive him and Bruno to PSG and then if they arent up for it I will carry them to Saudi Arabia (not going to spend that much on petrol)
Bless you for the link.https://fbref.com/en/players/a1d5bd30/scout/11566/Marcus-Rashford-Scouting-Report
Just for the league, but basically no better defensively. He’s been rotten at everything apart from goals for a few years now and the moment his production flags, these issues become untenable.
I think quite a few did, I remember Eriksen doing this quite a bit. I think for the corner of Fulham’s first goal weren’t a few players guilty of that, Varane and possibly Lindelof? Hence why Bassey got two swings at it.Ok let's turn this round, how many of his team mates pulled out of 50-50 challenges or turned away from blocking a shot?
This happens far too often with Rashy. I remember the Arsenal game at the Emirates where he cowardly duck out of a 50-50 challenge that led to Jesus scoring the 3rd goal. I am nowhere near a talented footballer, but I reckon I would have done better in that 50-50 challenge and at the very least put my body on the line.What seriously bothered me is how he didn't even try to stop Fulhams first goal. He just turned his back. Didn't even try to get in the way. Infuriating.
On this, you’ve seen the clip of him and Barkley right. That would be classed as Rashford pressing. Where any sane person would say that’s him just taking the piss. There are many occasions players might get near someone but you can’t really call it pressing or even blocking passing lanes.Players are tracked on presses, sprints etc. if the stats are out there that he’s actually moving less throughout a match than his teammates I would like to see them.
He's a sprinter?! He hasn't hit full pace this season. He's a jogger at best.Funny think about Rashford is where is he going to go? PSG or Chelsea maybe, other than that I can't see any big club going for him. He might like Chelsea though, 8 year contract getting 400k a week and will have to do feck all. He's just a sprinter, can't hold up the ball at all.
3/4 years? Go back a few months and see how everyone literally took anything said against this trash player personally.Told ye all 3 or 4 years ago and what I got was
He’s shite
He will now perform in the next game since everyone will be slating him on social media.Nothing, he’s just a lazy sulky tw@t who believes the hype from some media and his sycophantic posse.
It's not so simple with someone like Rashford. The impact on him sulking in the dressing room, the headlines in th press creating a circus and decreasing his transfer value. It's the right thing to keep playing him until summer and then get rid.I know we slate him, and rightly so for the sheer lack of effort and commitment.
The other thing is why the manager keeps picking him? Why is he allowed get away with it?
Lack of squad depth is the obvious reason I suppose, but it's so annoying that he jogs around looking disinterested and gets selected by the manager, week in week out.
I don't get it. It goes against all the talk EtH does in the media.
We’re less than a year into his long term contract that made him one of the highest earning players in the league. Getting rid of him isn’t going to be easy.I would be amazed if Dave Brailsford is watching him each week thinking it's a good idea to keep him. The only reason is his brand value and SJR keeps insisting it's the football that matters not money. Surely they will get rid. Horrible footballer
I completely agree. We've heard for years how United want to change the culture at the club. Yet they keep picking a player like Rashford that walks around the pitch putting in no real effort. It kind of shows that the club aren't really interested in changing the culture otherwise they wouldn't stand for Rashford's antics.I know we slate him, and rightly so for the sheer lack of effort and commitment.

He gets picked because his "lack of effort" defensively is instructional from Ten Hag.. The blame should be on Ten Hag but he seems immune to some even though our general play is pathetic..I completely agree. We've heard for years how United want to change the culture at the club.

Thing is though, in the first few minutes of the match a ball was punted forward that Hojlund would have chased the hell out of and pressured the defence. This puts a marker down from the off – and we've seen him encourage others to press and, well, work harder.I think quite a few did, I remember Eriksen doing this quite a bit. I think for the corner of Fulham’s first goal weren’t a few players guilty of that, Varane and possibly Lindelof? Hence why Bassey got two swings at it.
I get people have valid issues with Rashford, I’d like to see him dropped for a few matches because I think it would confirm that it isn’t going to be the key thing to sort this team out, we don’t have any options though unless we went Garnacho, maybe Forson and Antony/Amad.
I think he has become somewhat of a lightning rod for criticism that should be pointed at the entire team rather than individuals.
Didn't go down well in the ground that unsurprisingly.I didn’t see the game, only MOTD. But the counter from a Bruno corner where he makes zero effort to intercept and then strolls back. Absolute coward.
Agreed. I still think PSG would offer us a good fee.Looks like he's given up. I think he needs a fresh start somewhere so it's better for both him and man utd to part ways.
Clearly a whole load of bollocks because anyone else who plays his position is tasked with tracking back.He gets picked because his "lack of effort" defensively is instructional from Ten Hag.. The blame should be on Ten Hag but he seems immune to some even though our general play is pathetic..

Why some people need stats is beyond me. Just watch the game!! That should be enough for anyone to see clear as day he loses 50/50s and let’s the ball winner run away from him as he walks towards his own goalDo you think his effort has been good enough?
Couldn’t agree more. Watching on with much interest.What Ineos do about Rashford will tell you everything you need to know about how serious they are about running our club.
Giving him yet another chance under a sixth manager (not counting Carrick) purely because of who he is (because it damn well can’t be because of his output) would be absurd.
certainly not in terms of goals, but i dont think anybody is criticising him for not scoring. The difference between a poorly supplied hojlund and a poorly supplied rashford is so stark. He's a lazy player, who projects absolute resentment for having to play football. There is no joy, no sense of effort, or resilience, or motivation to do anything but will the game to end. I hate watching him, I hate when he's in the team and think there are about 50 players in the league, who while not having the hype machine or having matched rashfords rare highs, would offer us more every single week. I was watching arnautovic for inter during the week thinking of how this forum had a meltdown at the prospect of taking him on loan. I dont particularly like arnautovic, and he's simply not of a high enough standard to be what united are aiming for, and still I'd have him in the team above rashford every single week. The difference in how the 2 players approach the game is incredible. You could say the same for almost every attacker in the league.Just read a stat on twitter that he had no chances created for him and only received 19 passes. Like with Hojlund, our system doesn’t allow for strikers to thrive.
How do you know this? Or are you guessing?He gets picked because his "lack of effort" defensively is instructional from Ten Hag.. The blame should be on Ten Hag but he seems immune to some even though our general play is pathetic..
I wouldn’t be surprised if his win was co-ordinated considering the odds of winning such a thing (and how convenient the guy with a million followers won it), and Rashford loves that PR machine.Rashford ran a comp recently where he asked posters to reply and he’d randomly give out tickets to one lucky winner.
The winner? A Man United “fan” (guy knows f all about us, just another poster who uses us for clicks) with a million Twitter followers who’s a HUGE Rashford supporter, though randomly uses a Martial pic as image. What a coincidence.

It has to be at this point, it is the only thing that makes sense which would be acceptable if Rashford was productiveHow do you know this? Or are you guessing?
Yeah, Ten Hag told him to play like this?He gets picked because his "lack of effort" defensively is instructional from Ten Hag.. The blame should be on Ten Hag but he seems immune to some even though our general play is pathetic..

Why does ETH keep picking him then?This
He doesn't give a shit, plays for himself.
Eriksen is too slow to pull out of challenges, on their first goal, poor positioning maybe, the first effort was mishit and blocked, and the second was a rocket that was in the goal before anyone could really move, no one pulled out of anythingI think quite a few did, I remember Eriksen doing this quite a bit. I think for the corner of Fulham’s first goal weren’t a few players guilty of that, Varane and possibly Lindelof? Hence why Bassey got two swings at it.
