I'm looking at Marcus Rashford against Liverpool and seen sunday league players do more of a shift. The cloak is off literally Sunday stroll for him and he is whipped off at 66 min for not tracking trent for the equaliser. He literally is Temu version of Le tisser called le tosser. He is too old for school boy football. Management might suit him he gets to do what he loves stand on the pitch and watch the players do all the work.

Sky actually had their headline saying ‘Rashford impressing’ during the first half, I must have been watching a different game, he almost got an assist because he ran offside, he never ran back and he kicked it out of play about 3 times. Just shows what narrative they are trying to create.

Sky want to create a negative United story whenever they can, did the same with sancho and he’s hardly pulled up any trees at Chelsea.

I saw a clip online saying anthony was killing it in Spain. 5 mins of Anthony losing possession over and over again followed by one first time volley goal. Yeah, no thanks.
The narrative is to bury utd and grab the clicks.
All we need is to stay in the prem and rebuild for next year. We need to move out as many of the older gen players as possible and bring in players that can fit America's system.
One final hurrah is to go for the cups and to grab europe. But with the injuries is is a very long shot. Of course we should try, but it is roy of the rovers stuff Tbh. Season can't end soon enough.

The negativity towards Utd is laughable. It was a typical Rashford performance give it away a lot not really do much look busy for 2 mins then trudge off and it his cost on not bad for £350k a week
Total blagger.

Tissues right tom nervous
Because you don't pay a negative story 1st thing in the morning about 70% of the time.
Rarely anything positive from fans so why should sky be any different?

Antony is playing well in Spain dodgy. League suits him better. Less physical, allowing him to use his tricks a bit more. At United, defenders realised that they could bully him, get close and wait for him to cut in on his left. In Spain he gets more time and space on the ball. It’s obvious that ETH signed him without knowing enough about EPL football. Hopefully his value will increase because of how he’s playing.

We love to hate them. I watched some of the first half and he did okay against a very well organized and never give you an inch Liverpool side who all work for each other.
Those who hate him will look for him losing the ball but when you take a fullback and CD on you are going to lose of those battles. One on one he made Trent look like a boy a couple of times he did not have 2 or 3 guys to deal with.

Ahmad,
Nobody hates him, I hate the nonsense from the press and PR he gets when he’s terrible. Is that the same Trent that made Diogo Dalot look like Ryan Giggs?

We all know Rashford has moments of excellence in his game, including an ability to actually put the ball in the net, but he's lost a bit of speed which is probably why he strays offside more, his dribbling and close control are bang average, and his work rate is sub par for the modern game.
20 Feb 2025 19:00:24
Rashford's attitude is terrible.
As I said, the clip I watched looked like every touch Anthony made - and every single clip was him losing the ball. Over and over again. Nearly looking good. Fancy trick and almost doing something. Glad if he is going the attract money in the summer. Looks woeful to me!

Watch Rashford tracking back, he looks uncomfortable and lightweight, loses where players are, especially over his shoulder. He also doesn’t put enough effort in on what people call the dirtier side of the game.

Rashford is an unfortunate case I think. Early in his career he was always a brilliant trainer, worked hard, was focused, one of the few who would take a personal trainer with them on holiday during the summer to keep up with the training. He used to track back and put in a lot of effort on the pitch.
Yet something has changed. I don't know if he's fallen out of love with the game a little bit, whether his personal life is having an impact (he's broken up with his long term girlfriend and seems to be doing the things you tend to see from 18-21 years old single lads do), or it could be that he is looking to adjust how he plays and trains in response to the plethora of niggling injuries he has had and played through in his career (including painkilling injections into his spine to deal with a hairline fracture that he kept playing with for 6 months) .
Regardless of why he's changed his approach to playing and training it is now largely irrelevant. It feels like it's gone too far and too much water has passed under the bridge to recover the situation. There is a clear disconnect between the player and the fans now, and even if he returned to form it feels like the fans would be ready to jump straight on him the moment that form dipped. It's best now for everyone if he was to move on. I wish him the best and I hope he has a good rest of his career. He's given us some great moments, and he's done a good job in a struggling team.
I don't see the need to either try and big up or play down what he's doing at Villa now. It's irrelevant to me, it's irrelevant to Manchester United. Let's focus on the players who are here and our form for the rest of the season. The last thing this squad needs is another distraction.

In good teams and good wingers are not about tracking back. watch madrid and see hoa many times vinicius is involved in defensive action. I will save you the time none.

You say that Ahmad but don’t forget our best teams we’ve seen over the years all had hard working units. Beckham and Giggs put in unbelievable shifts each week offensively and defensively.
It was only really Ronaldo we afforded the luxury of not defending as he was a generational talent, and another superstar in Rooney covered for him.
