For Ed001. Just wanted to know your opinion on Rashford. He seems to split opinion on United fans. Unlimited potential for some, the next Welbeck for others.
Understand if you cba as you seem to get inundated with requests, but would be interesting to see your point of view on him. Understand he's only young so hard to judge at this stage as it's usually the mental side that's so important for younger players.
{Ed001's Note - personally I think he has a huge potential. He is just a kid and incredibly inconsistent because of it but he has plenty of ability. The issue I saw last night was a lad looking for an early ball, ala Vardy, to make use of his blistering pace, but every player on the United team taking 3 or 4 touches before playing the ball to him. Way too late. They need to be getting it and playing it immediately over the top for him to run onto to get the most out of him in that position when there is so much space in behind.
I have added him to the list for player profiles so I can give a more lengthy reply for you on there.}

I'd rather take Welbeck any day of the week. He brings nothing but pace and then doesn't know what to do with the ball. Gets the occasional goal, but so did Welbeck and he actually knew what he was doing, despite being injured all the time.
Rashford is not Utd quality, it's just the media-hype and the way he started that have let him get a pass for so long. Almost every game I watch him he is a non-entity. Even with his pace he rarely beats a man with the ball at his feet and decision making is woeful. Mid-Table player if he hadn't started to well in a Utd shirt.

Oh there it is. Our little ray of sunshine on a damp and misty day.
Beast, if you get any more negative you will have to be developed :)

Thanks Ed.

Betty at least he didn't run away like a spoilt child and stop posting cause he didn't like what the other kids were saying.
The messiah is back and supposed to be funny.

Ouch Leahy, that cut really deep - I'm off to tell my mum. Not sure what prompted that, but I will be sure to refrain from upsetting you in future. I guess being a spoilt child is a necessity for a few on here anyway, so should fit in well.
As for being the messiah? Well, that's very kind of you but I'm not really THAT special. Just a naughty boy, evidently.

Ya the boy that wanted a post reposted yesterday. never seen anyone look for that before. Something about needing valium to be on here or something along those lines didn't read it all. The reposting bit was enough for me.

Betty - How can you refrain if you weren't sure what upset him, unless you do another Lord Lucan?
Welbeck was 'one of our own' at one point as well remember.
I also don't get your humour to be honest, but each to their own. One man's 'Mrs Brown's Boys', is another man's 'Only Fool's and Horses', I suppose.

Betty,
I think you have upset Leahy mate 😂.
11 Aug 2018 11:40:48
Hey, no problem guys. Don't want to get into a fight.
I never engage in a battle of wits with unarmed opponents.
{Ed025's Note - love it betty..

Im not sure Rashford is in Mbappes league, but I think he's better than Welbeck.
Still not good enough to start for me, but a good bench player.

For once i agree with Beast. Have been saying it for quite sometime now. If Rashford weren't English, he would be playing for Fulham.

In the words of Ron burgundy "that escalated quickly"😂😂.
