For fans to decide probably not, but he obviously wasn't doing anything in training that would have warranted giving him a starting place as a CF under two different managers.
Rashford must be dropped!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
With what we can pay, I imagine quite a number of them. Problem is what their clubs want to be paid for their transfer.
Our wage policy is so wrong it's painful to even think about it. Local lad that supposedly eats and breathes Man Utd and will 'die' for the club was allowed to extort the club for a wage that's higher than the fecking England CF.
What should have happened is, gradually increase his wage consistent with his performance . He won't go anywhere-that's the club he would die for, innit?

Permit me to ask how you came about that. What if the managers never really saw him as a CF and persisted with the idea of him being a wide player. We have to accept that managers too have their biases, preferences and styles.
Noy saying Alexis would deffo make it as a CF but I wouldn't mind to see it tested especially now that we are lean on that front.
He's currently sh!t, but he's not a pace merchant, go watch his goals..
Remember how the Café had a boner over this Pepe clown in the summer, he's worse than JLingz
. Thank feck fans don't call shots for the club.. Would have been another entry to our expensive flop list..His agent pulled a blinder with all that Barcelona talk. Lindelöf's too.
And we think players use our name for a new contract!
Did well for the assist? The ball was meant for Pogba. Scott had to adjust the ball with a brilliant piece of footwork before hitting it.
Yeah that's a real desperate defence for Rashy. It's not like he made a 50m forward pass. He passed back FFS.
I feel bad for him. He's had three different managers before the age of 22, the last two (including his current one) haven't coached him properly at all, and now he's being asked to play when he's clearly not fit. He's in danger of having his career killed before he's 25.
Well it is an assumption, granted but he never showed anything to deem himself worthy of even a spot on the bench while he was at United.
We should just commit to playing him on the wing.
Pretty much, although I believe this will also become a problem very soon. Is he a good enough winger?
For now he will surely do though, play him on the wing
He's not a 9,
He's not a 10,
He's not an 11.
The "Rashy" conundrum.
Ego inflated, over-rated, Lingard-traited.
If Olé trusts the youth so much, he should have hauled him off for Greenwood when he arrived on the slow train to James' cross which led to McTominay's goal.

he suddenly looks clueless. had a break away just before we scored and never looked like scoring. he didn't even get a shot away. it's almost that without Martial (not too wonderful either) offering competition for "number nine" slot, he's become even less motivated. I'm afraid he looks like he believes his own PR... not sure I'd miss him if we were to get a real goal scorer instead
Exactly my thoughts. He's not good enough at any of these positions. I just don't think he should be a starter for us at all.
Ole named Martial as our number 9 and we failed in buying the CF we wanted, what else do you want Ole to do?
Thought he looked like Welbeck MK2 yesterday. Can't be pausing like that in front of goal.
Isn't Rashford supposed to be a Ronaldo fan? Just seem to me that he is supposed to know for certain that the greatest strikers get themselves in the right positions, so why the feck isn't he doing it? I just can't fecking understand. Why?
And don't tell me his confidence is affecting this aspect of his game, if it affects him that bad that he can't make a run slightly to his left than he needs to feck off.
This is his 5th year with the first team. He's not good enough. Lacks the instincts of a natural no.9. Runs down blind alleys, doesnt make any runs across defenders in the box. James has put in plenty of balls across the pen area and Rashford just runs into defenders. He was useless last night and if Ole thinks he's the answer then we are in big trouble.
Complete mismanagement of this player for years now. He’s been allowed to think he’s Ronaldo trying new free kicks and stupid dipping passes without ever practicing the basics of actually controlling a football.
succeed in buying one?
This again? Ole's not actually involved in buying players. He'll tell the club what he wants and it's up to them to do the deals.
It's not his job to negotiate fees and wages. He said he identified a CF but we couldn't get him. Think the board did the same thing they did with Mourinho and a central defender the summer before last. The board is letting our managers down.
He shouldn't be taking free kicks that's for sure.
The last two either hit the post or were saved so he's getting closer. It was either himself or Fred last night and Fred's not been brilliant at them either.
He can’t be dropped. He’s better than Lingard and Andreas and the squad is so stretched we can’t afford not to play him.
Oh I dunno maybe refuse to sell Sanchez and Lukau until a replacement is signed. Get the team playing functional attacking football that produces opportunities for the strikers. Coach Rashford so he improves. Coach anyone so they improve. Man manage players properly like giving Rashford a break...why did he play against Rochdale. Stop playing Pogba so deep as he is the only player capable of creating opportunities. Find Rashfords best position....how much more do u want?
oh come on, manchester united manager has no pull?
Yeah you do wonder who should play instead of him!
Greenwood, who Ole barely allows to play 10mins in the league?
He's been poor like many of our players but we have few choices if we bench him. Rashford took a wrong turn somewhere in his development which is unfortunate, I had high hopes.
What do you mean by pull? You suggested he should have signed a player which isn't within his remit. He can be blamed for a lot of things but not getting deals done isn't one of them. That's on Ed and the Board.

Pepe would have improved us, no doubt.Remember how the Café had a boner over this Pepe clown in the summer, he's worse than JLingz
There is too much pressure on Rashford now. Expectations are all on him as we have no one else. Its a disgrace not buying strikers to replace Lukaku and sanchez... we are the laughing stock of the prem.
I backed ole but his failure to replace the strikers who left, OR replace the midfielders Herrera and Fellani is just sheer lunacy. Its going to Cost us badly.
The seasons a write off in October and i just hope we bloody stay up ! The January window needs to come fast !

FFS lukaku would be getting crushed after having a game like this.
Because Rashford is having a joyful read on twitter and on RedCafe?
Playing JLingz over Rash would be a crime. Yes - I'd be happy to see Rash play as RW, Greenwood as ST, and Pogba as our 10. JLingz as number 10 is just a waste of space. I don't think he linked up with any others in the top 3 one time yesterday. He's just passing it backward all game - not creating anything.
His lack of improvement over the years is my top concern. 1) You never see him dribble with his left when the situation demands it. He just hasn't learned how. 2) He only shoots with his left if there is no other option and the shot is usually weak. In fact, he shoots with his weak foot like a teenager still learning. Doesn't bend the knee... 3) His insight and football knowledge is very weak. Passes when he should dribble and dribbles when he should pass. 4) His passing is usually inaccurate and/or with the wrong weight. He just has little feel for that part of the game.
I really wonder if he has a even decent enough touch to play monkey in the middle effectively. I would love to see video because I would bet he is usually the worst player in the circle.

He'll be executed for that.
Rashford can't be dropped because squad is depleted, thanks to our brilliant transfer strategy which was to to spend 500m to get actually worse than ever.
He'll play because players like Chong are still undeveloped and players Mata have speed of an astronaut on the moon.
There's no other option, but to try and find someone in January. Truly despicable situation to be in.
