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?

I'm guessing his vocal anti-Trump sentiments. The MAGA inbreds are a vicious bunch online.
Yeh thats what i respect Southgate for doing. He isnt playing anyone on name as far as i can tell. You either show him you're playing well right here right now, or you dont play. Rashford is a CLEAR step down from Sterling, Sancho and debately Saka right now
That and combine that with being the best of all time and Kobe, Jordan evangelists not coping well to seeing their idols dethroned
He's been the highest profile athlete in the world that isn't afraid or shy of wading into controversial and hot button societal issues and topics so there's been a lot of politically motivated pushback against him. He's probably the most hated athlete in America as a result even though he's one of the most popular by the same token.
Peoples opinions of him often reflect their own political opinions.
I'm afraid the same thing is going on with Rashford given his charitable efforts making the sitting government look bad often, supportes of said government like dislike him because of that and how he's the picture a modern athlete using his profile and influence to try to achieve positive aims within society that hit close to home for a lot of people during hyper polarized times.
Could be the support of the Chinese State against Hong Kong and trying to silence his fellow athletes who spoke out against the CCP at the time. And his rather really bad (and therefore hypocritical) stances on American social issues, that are the reasons why he get's abuse.
Insane stuff, honestly.
A wasted summer. He could have used this as time off recuperating from surgery.
Wow, that's incredible....
I try to find logical explanations for it. Okay he can be frustrating and his decision making is still very hit and miss, but never in a million years does that justifiy this amount of hate. If he was absolutely dogshit for years now and not able to pass a ball okay, I would understand. But the man is producing constantly for United. And outside of the pitch he's a very down to earth lad, has no scandals and stands up for the people. So why is he hated so much on social media?
The only logical explanation for me is, that we might have the biggest fanbase of the world but with too many Idiots in it.

Unfortunately it’s a mixture of our own ‘fans’ and others.
its got nothing to do with what he does on the pitch, obviously that wouldn’t justify any abuse, it’s just people see more of him than other black footballers.
No surprise Rashford and Lebron are two of the most socially active athletes on the list. There are too many deolorables around and some are a united fans.

He dares to speak up on the social injustice facing black people in his country.
Its just mad - the guy is not perfect but I love watching him because he plays for the shirt more than anyone else - literally breathes for Manchester United.
Case in point.
And also many people consider him the GOAT basketball player over Jordan.
Except that is what he did and said, there's a reason why Zlatan told him to shut up. He's an awful man.
Zlatan was talking nonsense. Essentially said only politicians should speak about politics. Lebron has as much a right to discuss social/political issues as anyone.
Some people believe that athletes should be automatons and keep quiet about the world around them.
Rashford is a remarkable young man not just for what he's done for us on the pitch but also using his platform to address and influence change on social causes that hit close to home for him and millions.
Shame that doing objective good also seems to enrage a certain segment of the population regardless but that's the world we live in today
It multifaceted
1) pretty much started the free agency super team trend by leaving his boyhood team to team up with other STARS ushering an unfavoured culture in current NBA
2) Quite self absorbed and self promoting compared to other stars (Self Proclaimed King)
3) outspoken and stands for something
4) Successful as hell
5) Jordan and Kobe stans
6) can appear misinformed in some political positions but tweets about them anyway
7) can appear hypocritical and politician-like in his careful selection of issues to speak up on
8) Owned by Nike
9) "Chosen one" tattoo
10) Passive aggressiveness when dealing with media and speaking on his teammates
Credit to Rashford, if its a choice of aggravating your injury to be involved in a potential home Euros victory, or rest up and get ready for the latest top four battle, youd take your chances
My future PM
He's almost gonna win the Euros and he didn't even have to break his shoulder to do it. Good lad.
I think Zlatan was speaking more on promoting certain parties as opposed to speaking on social justice. His fav sportsman was Ali because he stood up for social justice.
Unsurprisingly it's fake...just easy promo for a betting group. It works too. Their other tweets get like 6 engagements and this one got 1000s, as well as massive distribution outside Twitter.
Even more unsurprisngly, Fox News appear to be the first ones to fall for the bait.
Last time it was NBC, although they at least qualified it with 'the study claims to have found' which makes it a tiny bit better.

sorry but that’s not true. It’s more than likely the English behind this - I’d say Liverpool/City fans.
It is true. Rashford, among others, have definitely received racial abuse from supposed United fans on social media.
have you read the CAF? I can almost guarantee a % of the abuse is from so called United supporters
The internet can be such a pile of shit. Everything seems to be done just to get a rise out of one side or the other.Unsurprisingly it's fake...just easy promo for a betting group. It works too.

And everyone has a fecking side
Can we keep defending him next season if he is struggling since he choose to go to the euros knowing,
that he needs to have surgery ?

Bit of a difference between abuse and criticism.Yet certain United 'fans' think he's not criticized enough
Clowns
Perhaps we support out players and their aspirations to play international football for their country.
England have been fortunate not to have had any injuries, if Kane and Sterling were out, no doubt he would have been needed more.
So, just thought I'd check-in to see how this thread is going.
World-class talent Marcus Rashford can't get on the pitch for England ahead of Sterling, Grealish, Foden, Sancho or Saka. As usual, we're going with "it's because he's carrying an injury".
I would have thought the medical teams at United and England would know more about the severity of his injury than random people on the Internet but hey, what do I know?
Clearly England decided to waste a squad position on an injured player because he's a good laugh around the swimming pool and Utd are OK with that because we only pay him £300K a week so what's the harm if he makes this injury worse and misses the start of the season?
Also, there's no precedent for other Utd players who would have made this squad missing it so they can recover from injuries, as long as you ignore Greenwood and Henderson.
Could it be, possibly, maybe, potentially, at all even remotely possible that he just isn't as good as Sterling, Saka, Grealish, Sancho or Foden?
Cue bombardment of stats from people saying "Rashford's stats blah blah blah something"
Don't get too upset about it, its only my opinion. My prediction is he will start fewer games next season as we see clear evidence that Greenwood, Sancho and Pogba are better options in the wide-forward positions. Can still raise his game. Can still be a good squad player. Really needs to start knuckling down now. The time for excuses is over in my book.

300k, I thought he was on 600k per week.
Yeah sure Greenwood would have made the squad, anything for the sake of it

By we you don't include yourself in that do you as given your limited number of posts it doesn't take a lot of time to see a number of thinly veiled digs at Rashford from yourself (seems to be mostly when you're defending Martial)
All the players you mentioned are genuinely good players, so there is no shame if Rashford cannot get ahead of them, particularly during his present poor form.
He's under more pressure than 1 year ago at both club and international level. That much is clear.
Just seen a tweet from united that shows rashford jumping in a pool.
How can he be jumping in pools if he’s carrying a serious injured like we’re led to believe?

Is this supposed to be sarcastic? Because jumping into a pool is a lot different from running around a football pitch at the elite level of the sport for over 90 minutes...
He's literally jumping into a body of water...how much strain do you think that puts on your body? There's a reason they all muck about in the pool as part of their recovery.
That tweet has to be fake. I promise you Rashford is not relevant enough to illicit all the hate. It should have been obvious when we saw Pogba below him.
