Salford Primary School need a dinner lady?

I've never watched one of your games and been impressed with Rashford.
His career stats back this up, average player at best.

Our homegrown poster boy though.

He’s a hot and cold player, he has limitations in his all round game and isn’t really suited to modern football.

We saw the best nest of Rashford last season, and were seeing the worst of him this season. That’s the player he is.

If we had Mo Salah on the other wing we’d probably not notice it so much.

A proper winger like Anthony, only for the left side.

Pathetic knee-jerk articles like this are embarrassing. Rashford is a world class player, proven over a number of years, who we would be insane to sell. Only Mbappe and Vinicius can dine at his table.

He's a moments player. Statistically he's had some excellent seasons but when he's off form he's very very poor.

Even in the run where he scored 16 in 17 he's overall displays were very mixed at his best but he generally had a moment in each game.

He’s a decent player but I find a lot of United fans have large expectations of him a lot.

As said he’s decent but not world class or anything

Agreed although for the large parts of the past 2 & a half years decent is being generous.

I’ll go with your assessment as you watch him infinitely more than me. I see him on highlights and the occasional live game

We've become a 'moments' side , no plan, no tactics, no imagination, no anything out there on the pitch. Just content to wait for something anything to pop up. maybe a world famous counter attack or a scrappy extra time penalty might come our way ... who knows !

PSG are interested as a replacement for Mbappe when he goes to Real Madrid. They paid over £200m for Neymar so I imagine they would be willing to play over £300m for Rashford given inflation and the current market with Saudi Arabia lurking in the background. The Saudis would be willing to pay £350m to give them their prime star to really announce themselves on the world stage. £350m would get us Bellingham, Kane and Haaland so good business for us.

Talking of wingers that don't seem to be effective at present I've just seen an analyst on Twitter stating this about Antony:

"Ever since the signing of Antony, he has been given a lot of stick from everyone. Especially #MUFC fans. Whilst most of it is deserved. Having watched a lot of him at Ajax, it's frustrating to see.

He plays a completely different role at United. He has very little movement around him. Which is a big issue for him. He's a player that plays off of others, he's more of a linkup and sit deep, wide creator, rather than a traditional winger.

A lot of people have joked about his being a "defensive winger", or basically a wing back. Whilst that isn't correct, it isn't far off.

He is a player that likes to bait opposition and then play the ball into space. Whilst, he's okay at exposing space, he's far better at creating it.

He plays that pass before the assist. At Ajax, he held his width and played the ball to an inverted runner. At United that is only Dalot.

Too often at United, he receives the ball and is completely isolated. He isn't great 1v1, that was never his game. He wants to constantly be involved. His game isn't output, it's feeding the system, he's incredibly functional.

We see it a lot at United, he receives the ball, does his ball roll, or stands on the ball and baits the opposition. Which looks to have slowed the game down. This is something that he did often at Ajax. But, there he would have runners that would expose the space he created.

At United, no one makes that run and so he has to turn back and recycle. He's the definition of taking 1 step back to take 2 steps forwards. But right now, due to the lack of runners, all he does is the 1 step back.

That being said. I can't defend his wayward shooting. That isn't good enough."

I think there's a lot of truth there. On Wednesday I thought he was our attacker most likely to make something happen. That's not saying much but I thought he showed some nice touches and played some nice passes. If ETH does turn this around it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to me if Antony was more part of it than Rashford. Not that I think he's better than Rashford but that he understands what ETH wants better and executes it more often.

You forgot to add English tax, based on the 10,000% mark up on Declan rice, I think we should be looking for minimum of 3bn

Joking aside, no chance PSG would be interested.

I think in games where we dominate possession allowing a midfielder to link up with him and then slot in Rasmus this could work better. Problem is that we’re not really dominating games which I suspect Ajax were.

Bruno or Mount could be that midfielder.

At the present time, he would struggle to sell himself for a fee, any fee some, if not many at ManU would like.

On his day he is a fantastic player, well worthy of his shirt. Unlike some of his team. His confidence is shot.

If nothing else than to stop the panic, you’ve got to stick with ETH. But he has got to start earning his corn. Playing the likes of Hannibal, a permanent, almost bolt-on certainty for a red card against Newcastle, was embarrassing. The club have got to have someone else better than that, even if it’s the dinner lady!

Sadly for this Red, Rashford will come good. That’s provided he focuses on football, to the exclusion of all else.
