Yes, Rash got to play many games on the left under Ten Hag where he went invisible, but that's cause he was instructed to stay on the touchline instead of going on goal where he's at his best.

Bizarre claim

 

[Matriac]

Bizarre claim

If you watched our games for the past 1.5 years and saw the heatmaps of our wingers after the games it wouldn't be that bizarre.

 

[Dermott Walsh]

Not performance related directly but the way he acted last night taking off his gloves was disgusting IMO. Video doing the rounds on X.

Sick and tired of his horrible attitude and his clear lack of effort. Sad to see the way it's gone with him but can't see a future at the club for him anymore.

It's such a lazy claim.

Rashford didn't go invisible due to some strange tactical choice, he went invisible because of himself.

Rashford scored 30 goals for us in the 22/23 season, 56 matches. 17 of those goals came in a 2 month period, 19 matches. The remaining 13 goals were spread over 37 matches.

Before the World cup: 19 matches, 8 goals.
His insane scoring run after the world cup: 19 matches

The following matches that season: 18 matches, 5 goals.

Out of the blue he had a 19 match run where everything went in, followed by Rashford returning to his normal form.

At the start of the 23/24 season, Rashford was pretty much at the end of everything. We were desperate for him to find his goalscoring form. He ranked top 3 in the league for a long time for attempted shots, but as the season progressed he got less opportunities and ended up further down the list. Garnacho made 9th, with 21 shots less than Haaland at no 1.

What you're saying doesn't make sense at all.

Yeah I saw that. I really disliked that. It doesn't take much to be a decent human being, and that act was the exact opposite of how a humble person (as we thought he is) should behave.

This looks pretty bad indeed, I have seen players throw away water bottles but not to this extend.

 

[Grand Vizier]

No longer any business staying at this club, not even as a squad player with reduced wages. Sick of him and his attitude. The sooner we can get rid, the better.

Newbies always stirring shit up.... get off twitter

 

[amolbhatia50k]

He was crap for 3-4 seasons....when 2 seasons ago he carried us almost by himself to 3rd place...why do some fans have such short memory, it amazes me...
And when I look at Garnacho's shooting and decision making, I just hope Rashford can find back at least 50% of his form.

Read better.

Serious clubs should not a long memory anyway.

It obviously bears no relation to his ability as a footballer, but I’d get (maybe irrationally) really annoyed if an Ipswich player did this. Remember where you’ve come from, mate.

That said, I do think that Rashford in general has a greater understanding of and empathy for, those less ‘important’ than him than most other footballers. So he should be cut a bit of slack.

 

[midou]

Im tired Robbie...

Is he injured, is he depressed, is he not bothered, is he just in a bad form, does the system suit him, does he need more support from fans/coaches, is he bullied, does he have bad influence on the dressing room, is he not very smart/coachable, do the people around him pull him back, is he not motivated because he has too much money or is he just not good enough... I don't know, but I want this saga to be over. Please, find some amicable way to part with Rashford.

It’s gotta be a season long loan to a club outside the Prem for starters. My best guess is a top German team. He’d score a lot, get a bit of interest going, get his confidence back and you’d probably get a good fee for him.

 

[Oranges038]

It's just the behaviour of someone who is arrogant, rude and disrespectful.

 

[Glorio]

None of us can say for sure what his issue is, probably not even him. However, I just feel Rashford has met the goals that drove him to the "top" in football and while he probably tries to motivate himself or convince himself that he is motivated, it's just not there.

He came from a very underprivileged childhood and he's talked about how that has driven him in life. I wonder if the fulfillment of the need to sort his family out for life and to give back to the community means he's met his intrinsic goals and his heart's just not in it enough to "suffer" for the team for the sake of winning.

He probably still enjoys football, but not the harsh demands, pressures, and expectations of top level professional football. Rio mentioned being surprised at seeing him in training laughing and messing about with Bruno while they were doing some extra work while the main session had finished, which was in stark contrast to how sullen he looks on game day.

If this is actually the case that his motivation is gone, and I was in his shoes, I'm unsure what I'd do about it considering the fat paycheck guaranteed over the next few years.

This is obviously just an opinion based on observing his game and the limited glimpses we get of his life outside the pitch.

 

[Craig Ward]

I just wish he'd get to play in the position Garna gets to be wasteful in.

I believe if you flipped their positions yesterday both would have another goal.

Rashford is best off the left, and Garna aint bad off the right. Yes, left is possibly Garna's best as well, but he doesn't drop off as much on the right. While he's still learning his decisionmaking it would be better to keep Rash on the left in my opinion.

Yes, Rash got to play many games on the left under Ten Hag where he went invisible, but that's cause he was instructed to stay on the touchline instead of going on goal where he's at his best. Under Amorim that left attacker is overlapped by the lwb for the touchline, and can instead run into the box.

Curious take.

Has Rashford also been instructed to not track back? Not be able to string a pass together? Not show any interest in being on the pitch at all?

Be woefully out of position at all times?

If you think Rashford has better decision making than any other footballer at this club, your judgement cannot be taken seriously. Rashford is the most clueless footballer we've had in years

 

[the hea]

His attitude stinks and it has been pretty clear for a while already. The sooner we can get him gone the better.

 

[quadrant]

Right now it seems hard to see a way back for Rashford. Even in his red hot season a couple of yrs back, he wasn't the kind of hard working number 9 that Amorim had at Sporting, and that Hojland gave glimpses of last night. Rashord has never had that work ethic in his locker. He's not an obvious fit for the attacking midfield positions in the 343 either.

And even if we did want to try and make room for him, we also have Garnacho, who is very similar in terms of how he plays and what he can offer. Except Garnacho is young and improving. Rashford might have better spells still, but he isn't going to become a radically better player from this point onwards. I can see us keeping one of the two, but not both, not unless we want to change our formation to accommodate them both (and I don't see why we would).

 

[Pogue Mahone]

This looks pretty bad indeed, I have seen players throw away water bottles but not to this extend.

I wonder if this is one of those clips where perspective is lost because it’s filmed from so long away? Yer man might have been a good few metres behind him and Rashford was chucking the gloves towards him because he was too far away to hand them over.

Still though. He probably could have made more of an effort to throw them so the other guy didn’t have to pick them up off the floor. Twice. It doesn’t look great, whichever way you cut it.

 

[Escobar]

Ineos might show some balls in the summer and sell him

 

[romufc]

I think Amorim is the worst thing to happen to Rashford. He has come out and said he cannot play the 9 so decided, lets try him as a 10 and he was worse imo.

That was a really poor cameo from Rashford. Off the ball, it was chalk and cheese with Mount, its really annoying that a guy coming on in the 60th minute and is jogging around at 80th minute looking like he has played the whole game and ran his socks of.

The last freekick that Bodo got was because of Rashford's laziness.

On the ball he was poor as well, could not handle it.

Get him out the club.

 

[NicolaSacco]

Ineos might show some balls in the summer and sell him

If he really is on £350-375k per week (which I’m not sure I believe) then it’s clearly nothing to do with showing ‘some balls’, it’s about someone being prepared to match those wages. He’d be owed £70 million quid in wages, in what is likely the last elite contract of his career. I can’t see who would match that.

 

[Redplane]

I just really don't understand what happened to him. Was he ever not lazy at times? No. But his attitude seemed to be miles better. It's like he developed a diva mentality since everyone wanted a piece of him since that one season and decided he did enough. Man risks being forgotten before he even hangs up his boots.

 

[stepic]

he has never been and will never have the technical skills to excel in this system. getting rid of him will be a challenge though.

 

[red.knight]

He contributes very little and I don't see a future for him at United. I'm sure Amorim will figure that out soon. The real question is how United can offload Rashford given his insane wages. I can't see any top club being interested in him. Perhaps he could follow Lingard's path to South Korea.

 

[Walter Sobchak]

I can picture Rashy being happy with an MLS move earlier in his career than most.

 

[Top_Bins]

This. It seems like he bought into his own hype and just never progressed.
Shame really for all the talent he had, but he's a shadow of that now but with the ego of a Ronaldo.
The club were fools giving him that huge contract.

Hopefully Amorim doesn't bow to him and he gets what his effort deserves.
I always hold out hope for the possibility of redemption, but it's a slither of hope.

 

[jem]

I was thinking that - maybe Becks can step in and do us a solid. I'm sure Rashford would love the glitz of Miami and the chance to bask in Messi's glory.

 

[lsd]

Absolutely ridiculous anyone making a fuss of this.

This happens pretty much every sport.
God forbid he's focused on the game

Amorim has already complained about media stupidity and now because a few people want to hate on everything Rashford does some media twat will ask him to explain this. It's pathetic.

 

[Hammondo]

Garnacho went for goal constantly.

 

[Winrar]

Bought into his own hype and stopped progressing after few years in the first team.

Sad to see his United career crumble this early, but he needs to go ASAP.

Thats true. His attitude went with the fame. He was a supreme talent and will be remembered as a waste

He played for the contract, got it and all the adulation then checked out. The reaction to criticism he received the very next season was a guy with nothing to prove

 

[ElDiabloRojo]

He had a burst of pace and a youthful joy to be playing football, that's well gone. Now he is a limited player with grand ideas about himself. He is below average at everything.

Hopefully he is the first out the door in January, even before Antony.

 

[KD6-3.7]

We have had some terrible players over the last decade but I’ve never wanted one sold as much as I do with Rashford.

I can only think people who hate on Rashford are the most spoilt and entitled of united fans.

I couldn't care less what other fans or the media say about him but for any united fan too hate a homegrown player as much as they do a United player who has achieved so much in his career is disgusting.

Theres something seriously wrong that Rashford gets so much hate from his own fans. I would see through it if he was in the papers beating up Eileen and worse like certain other players who never got that hate but the guy has been a perfect role model for kids everywhere.

Why are you using the word hate? I don't know a single person who uses that word about Rashford.

Plenty use the words frustrated, lazy, wasteful etc but nobody hates him.

Fans just want him to shine again and are frustrated he's playing like 20% of what he used to be.

But still nobody hates him that's a very odd take.

They don't need to use the word hate... It's really obvious in the way some of you talk about him. It's like the worst of you have no self awareness....

You have posters here that dont allow for Rashford to be criticised, no matter what he does. Often, the same people cant make the distinction between criticism and hate.
