I was in the vote sell list but that doesn’t mean I’m not happy about his contribution this season so far. Rashford had been out of form for a really long time and I’d long since stopped enjoying watching him play, it even looked like he’d stopped enjoying playing.
If we had got a big offer for him at the time of the poll I wouldn’t have minded too much if it had happened from a football perspective but it would have been sad losing a home grown talent that had shown such promise. Nothing personal at all, I just thought something needed to change for all parties.
He’s clearly in a much better place physically and mentally and he’s being loads more effective on the pitch. I and, I’d imagine, most of the people on that list will be very happy about his current form, hoping it continues and improves even more.
edit: cracking goal yesterday.
Exactly this.
Any true Utd fan is delighted for the upturn in his performance as it makes the team better.
Any player who has a long sustained run of bad form should not be looked upon as an asset to our team, regardless of who he is. That's just football. The team is much more important than the individual.
Could you imagine Pep or SAF giving Rashford 18m to sort himself out.
Some fanboys here seem to love the players more than the club and care more about Rashford playing well ,to score imaginary points against imaginary friends, than the team winning. Im looking at you
@glazed.
Maybe our lack of success has developed this attitude, I dont know, but 90% of CAF threads now are about individuals rather than the team.
Anyway, long may Rashford's form continue. Hopefully he can drag a few others up too.
