What position can you see Rashford playing at Barca?
21 Jul 2025 01:27:25
Probably 1st reserve for the front 3. He will play a lot i think.
21 Jul 2025 01:36:56
Bench ;)
21 Jul 2025 05:07:21
I hope he's a success so he's off our squad.
21 Jul 2025 05:53:46
Not bothered about where he plays, just looking forward to his outfit choices at Yamal’s legendary parties.
21 Jul 2025 07:01:48
Not sure why eveyone writes him off or alludes to him being no good.
He will do very well out there, it helps when you got great players around you and it will help him no end not having to be the star or the one trying to carry a poor team.
Yes he lost his way, yes there is clearly a problem, but he still is a very good player and it’s bit childish to write him off, just because he did not give 100% in final years for United for whatever reason.
I hope he plays exceptionally well and hits 15-20 goals too, he probably will get more goals than either our two new signings, least that way he commands a bigger fee.
21 Jul 2025 08:22:10
The fee is set with Barcelona so we won't get a bigger fee but the rest i agree with. If Anthony can do well there rashford certainly can if he applies himself, and i think he will.
21 Jul 2025 08:53:43
Who’s written him off? You’re replying to posts that didn’t happen again, who are you calling childish as nobody has done what you’re saying.
He stopped putting any effort in for us, was more interested in his life off the pitch, he could have been a United legend but ruined it all for himself. Fans just want to see commitment and effort, you can forgive a poor result or a bad performance if the effort is there but there has been none so fans have quite right turned on him. I also hope he does well at Barca, it’s his dream after all so he might actually try hard.
21 Jul 2025 10:10:39
He’ll work nicely in the Spanish league. Rashford and his entourage has played this one brilliantly, and gets to play for a much better team in a much nicer part of the world.
21 Jul 2025 11:02:49
I think Rashford will play a lot of football at Barcelona, probably rotating between the LW and ST positions. I also think he'll do very well there.
We've seen a fat less talented Antony do very well playing in La Liga for a far less talented Real Betis side.
Rashford with top quality players around him, up against lower quality opposition should see him play very well.
I think due to the bitter way things have ended at United fans are currently underrating his ability. He does have 138 goals for the senior team at United, which is no mean feat given that he has played in the worst United side in 3 decades.
He is a little streaky with his goals, and his overall performances lack consistency. Yet to be fair to him how much of that is due to him playing in a poor United side, being moved around positions, playing through injury, and not having any consistency with tactics due to constant chopping and changing of managers.
He's a player who in my opinion would have had a much better United career if SAF had been his manager for the past 9 years. A young player let down by the poor management of the club as much as his own devices.
It's clear that in the last couple of seasons he has lost his passion for the club. He changed from a player who'd stay after training to do additional practicing and who used to take a personal trainer with him on holiday during the summer to a guy who would go out partying the night before a game, turn up late and put very little effort in on the pitch.
Somewhere along the line the relationship between the player and the club broke down, and the player has been ringing it in ever since. While I don't buy the media narrative that he was "reborn" at Villa, he certainly showed more fight and application while there. If playing for Barcelona cannot reignite his passion for them game then nothing will, and he'll just continue to drop off. If he can refind his passion then there is a chance that he can get back to his best and maybe even find more consistency with better players around him and he could go on to do very well.
I hope he does reignite his career and he has a very successful spell at Barcelona (hopefully for longer than just next season) .

We don't know why Rashford hasn't performed for us. Maybe we should reserve judgement. He is a Manchester lad and until recently we were proud to have him in the team.
If he has genuine reasons for not performing then I wish him well.
21 Jul 2025 13:22:12
Bang on Salford. I hope all ex staff do well elsewhere. I hope ole does well in Turkey and hope eth does well in Germany sancho in Italy and rashford in spain.
Just because they finished badly or never worked out at united doesn't mean i wish them bad luck elsewhere.
I don't care how well they do elsewhere they didn't do well enough at united so that's all that counts really imo.
Eth has taken over a good side list a couple of good players but got a couple in. I've seen it predicted on here that he will do a great job there i don't think he will but it would be nice to see him have a good season
Ole did his usual streaky stuff in Turkey won a string of wins followed by a string of no wins then another string of wins.
Rashford can't really fail to do well at Barcelona if he applies himself. They dominate in most games and that will suit him.
Sancho I'm less sure about but no doubt he has done better abroad away from the distractions of home.
{Ed077's Note - Leverkusen have lost their Best player, probably the best player in the league. They've also lost half of their defense. ETH has a real job at his disposal where he gets to show his real abilities, with nowhere and nothing to hide.
21 Jul 2025 14:01:48
Eric got off to a flyer in his first game in charge last week :D.
21 Jul 2025 16:19:14
Ed077 injured signed the best player in the league a couple of times in kagawa and miki and sancho didn't work out too well. I don't trust that league not too many come from Germany and replied are their form in the epl.
I do think wirtz is a cut above those but epl is like playing a different sport so it will be interesting to see how he does. Also, he is going into a better side than those lads did at united but its not an easy transition.
{Ed077's Note - my point is still the same. Leverkusen have lost their best player, who was probably the best player in the league too. How does it matter whether he is a success at Liverpool or not to Ten Hag's challenges taking over the Leverkusen side? Am I missing something or just plain stupid?
21 Jul 2025 16:55:04
Im not sure if your stupid ? but I did go off on a tangent. Changed the subject slightly.
Im sure eth will pluck a few gems from the market like he did here.
21 Jul 2025 17:43:41
Ed you are correct. ETH has nowhere to hide but he is on a real hiding to nothing. Lost the best play maker and attacking midfielder and didn't one of the or defenders go to Madrid. To judge ETH after losing to influential players and with a club that can't compete against the best when it comes to new players means he is certainly going to find it challenging.
{Ed077's Note - off the top of my head, TAH went to Bayern on a free and Frimpong signed for Liverpool. Plus I think Xhaka has left or is leaving.
21 Jul 2025 18:01:14
Rashford is a very good player and best LW and CF at Utd. He will do well at Barcelona. I wish him well, and will be rooting for Barcelona this season.
I was there on Marcus’ debuts, he’s one of our own and a Manc too. By all accounts he’s not fallen out with Amorim, just disagreed on the role and system. I also think Marcus is being pushed out my the ownership due to his earnings and affect on overhead, circa 10% of all wages.
He showed enough against PSG and over his loan at Villa, he’s benched Watkins immediately.
I’m also sick of the coded or loaded language about him, he’s also getting let down by his advisors (brother) and fans forget he played with a fractured spine and put his body on the line for the team. He’s a good lad all things said.
I wish him every success and would not be disappointed if he came back next season.
21 Jul 2025 19:12:45
Well said united road. He played through the pain barrier on multiple occasions for this club when he shouldn't have been playing at all.
Had to hire his own PR because the club were so abysmal at it when he needed it the most.
Been let down by the club on multiple occasions and has been through some really really bad times.
Good on him.
Gds for a fella that stopped putting in effort, he still scored 7 goals despite being left out of the squad in December.
The narrative that he was someone put partying all the time and not putting in the training is complete tosh. You'll point to Belfast, granted, he messed up. But for the rest, just all in your head ??.
21 Jul 2025 20:38:13
Dont understand why people protect rashford so much. He's made his bed, and shafted us on the way out by forcing his dream move. Glad he's going, unhappy how he has acted over past few years and in forcing utd hand to basically bend over to Barca. How utd fans can give him so much of a pass is beyond me.
21 Jul 2025 21:59:21
He had to hire his own pr for what angel?
