Probably irrelevant but even a small sign of him mentally disassociating is positive - need enough of those to make him feel desperate to get away and maybe he’ll say yes to a pay cut. Doubt it’ll happen but it’s the best case.

Nik (@Rood), Jamie (@Vault Dweller) and Ed (@That'sHernandez) give their end of season awards out! They celebrate the best players, goals and moments of the season (there were some, honestly) and also give out awards for the worst and most disappointing players/moments of the season.
They then discuss all the latest transfer rumours and get into the potential ins and outs this summer at Old Trafford.

I could be wrong but I don't think he runs his social media accounts. Most big name footballers don't.
It’s sad really.
A few years back he was playing at a world class level. He was Manchester born and bred (he does/did a lot with welcoming younger players), and was beloved nationally as a consequence of his feeding children campaigns. Now here we are.

what does this mean?
Eh? So we should Keep Rashford, Garnacho, Antony and Sancho instead of bringing in Cunha and Mbeumo?
He barely does that while playing as well
I wouldn't have thought so but then anyone who did wouldn't be taking such a bold move without agreement.
Heh
Cunha and Mbuemo would have been done regardless and were club signings
Antony and Sancho were gone regardless
Rashford and Garnacho was his decision
You said it’s difficult to agree with any decision he makes. It’s presumably his input which has steered us towards prioritising Cunha and Mbeumo for the two ten positions. Whether those two players would have been prioritized as club signings had we had a different manager seems no more than idle speculation, but it seems unlikely to me given how well they appear to fit his system.
Antony could have easily been brought back in to the fold had Amorim wanted - he wasn’t shipped off on loan till January.
As a fan it’s impossible for me not to see Garnacho and Rashford moving on as positive steps. They haven’t been good enough, nor committed enough. All of these moves are what gives me hope in Amorim despite our results last season. I struggle to see how a merry go round of managers whilst the same old entitled players stink up the place would have moved us forward as a club.
Good call, honestly. Despite the goal, Rashford was strolling around the pitch, unbothered, in Amorim's first game. That was the moment I wanted him gone. He wasn't onboard from minute one.
The culture concorted by the passive ownership of the Glazers has created what we see now, plus his family are his agents which means it’s unlikely they’re going to rock the boat and tell him some hard truths.
He may have put up some world class stats once or twice but he’s ultimately a pretty limited player. You can’t really reinvent him like with Giggs or Scholes or Beckham. Those three had all kinds of skills that someone like Rashford would kill for. Rashford has got one style he’s really good at which is pace related but once that pace goes/went, he looks very average.
I still think he’s going to retire by the time he’s 31/32. He’s a lucky son of a bitch if he gets a move to Barcelona and he’d be failing upwards in that respect.

Stuff like hanging out with Kone when he arrived. I've seen similar similar stuff in the past with Nick Cox praising him for mentoring our former player who is now at Marseille not named Angel Gomes (maybe not the best example), JJ Gabriel has thanked him for taking penalties with him. Just small stuff you would want a senior player doing with young players that I have occasionally seen online over the years.
I’ve no doubt he’s well intentioned, particularly with regards to his food campaign and possibly mentoring younger players (I don’t know if he does that as I’ve no info). The problem is that’s not what we pay him huge wages for. We pay him to be an elite player and give maximum effort on the pitch. Sadly he’s not delivered on that for a long time.
I must be getting old or cold, but I feel no sadness over Rashford never playing another minute for us.
Why should you? We’ve lost better players before.
That Musiala injury might gather more Bayern interest in Rashford. He won’t see much of this season.
No I do agree, just seeing a lot of people expressing some kind of regret or sadness over it and it's beyond me.
Can Barca take both Rashford and Sancho together?
Yeah let’s hope so. Would be a good move for all parties, including Rashford. And I don’t think Bayern would low ball an offer as much as Barca would.
All you nutters on here even thinking he will be brought back in to the playing squad for a second are just not living in the real world.
It's not just his low effort in training and low risk style when playing that he's been dropped for. It's his whole persona. I bet Amorim rolls his eyes as much as we all do at his constant pr bullshit and Amorim obviously has done this exact thing before at Sporting. It's what he's known for.
He doesn't like big egos and everything that comes with that.
If Rashford had done the Belfast thing with Amorim as manager we would never have seen him again. Not the little slap on the wrist ethl gave him.
Everyone should understand this by how Garnacho has been dealt with.
If you're not 100% with Amorim you will not be here long.
As for Rashford wanting to go to Barca. The only way this happens is under our terms of a permanent sale and him reducing his wage demands to allow it to happen. Or an obligation to buy loan with no stupid get out fee and all of his lower wages being covered.
If Rashford doesn't make this happen we will keep him and not play him and he won't get anywhere near an England shirt again unless he agrees to finally feck off in January.
There is absolutely no way he will be here after the January window. So we might have to pay him to clean the toilets for a few months but he will not be playing for us again and will be gone by February at the very latest.

Same, absolute pisstaker who dined out on the club and 'he's from the academy'. New manager came in and publicly called him out in a matter of weeks
I actually do feel sadness, not because he is leaving, but because he fecked the chance to be placed in the same sentence with players of the calibre of Rooney, Beckham, Scholes.
He is closer to a Lingard now, with the way he is being pushed out of the club, and having his number 10 shirt stripped of his back. No testimonial, no proper goodbye.
The saddest part is that he has nobody else to blame for being in the situation, but himself. It was just one PR article too many.
Swap deal for Yamal?
That's not Rashford!Swap deal for Yamal?
Who is in this photo?Swap deal for Yamal?
The point is that it’s Yamal wearing a United shirt.
It's a shame this is a minority mindset nowadays... My sentiments too
We've lost much better and greater players, many sold randomly after winning league titles. Ince, Hughes, Kanchelskis, Stam, Beckham, RVN.. even squad players like Butt, Phill Neville, O-Shea, Brown did much more than Rashford will be remembered more fondly.
Well now rumors (debunked) of Ter Stegen to inter, but maybe a way we can swap ter stegen for rashford? Not a direct swap but same price so we get some towards PSR?
Wonder if people will use this to excuse GarnachoSwap deal for Yamal?
I don't get why some people act like wet wipes when it comes to Rashford.
He has shown how limited of a footballer he is, he has shown how little his desire to play for Manchester United is, he has shown how bad his decision making is, he has shown he has no loyalty to his "boyhood club".
He needs to go and it really grinds my gears how the majority of his fanboys would rather blame anybody or anything else for his lack of... well anything, than blame their golden child.
On loan with United paying both their wages? Of course I don't see why not
:P
I think the young player that Rashford took under his wing was Sancho and that sums it up.
Yeah, that’s a fair view I think. Hoping we can pull off a deal where all 3 parties can get what they want: Rashford an addition to a team challenging for titles in a different country (like Barca or Bayern). He takes a pay cut and gets his move. United get some fee for him - hopefully closer to the £40m valuation and hopefully Barca or Bayern get a fired up, passionate and happy Rashford in their squad. Maybe it’s pipe dreams from my side but here’s hoping.
And he is not just wearing any shirt....

Yep, and the new signings lead us back up the table helping is to move on.... Hopefully to silverware
That would be ideal.....
