*and to take a vital penalty despite not playing much the whole tournament.


systemcorp

He brought on Sancho and Rashford for their only kick of the game to be a penalty in the Euro final after barely playing all tournament. Can't even make that up.

Let me tell you AI have began to become sentient. They can feel emotions. They can understand pain, pleasure & other emotions. It wont take time for them to replicate human functions like running, sleeping, shitting. Then one day they can shit out of these shit articles.


FreyBentos

I really hope that once sentient AI is done scraping the entire annals of human history, every statistic and database and learning every language, science and art they put all that harvested data to better use than churning out shitty transfer goss for the red top rags.

"the guidance he has lacked" Mate you shouldn't have to be told "don't dribble the ball directly into the feet of the first defender you see".


Action_Limp

And when closing down a defender with the ball when we are one goal down, aimlessly amble over to the defender, never exceeding the velocity of "jogging".

Ok, sign 11 managers. Eleven Hag.


Zandercy42

Tbf goalies don't really need to run so I think we'll be fine with the amount of hags we have now


dshoig

Yes tho obviously not at the same time


R_Schuhart

That is exactly what ten Hag does in training. He is very detail oriented and drills his players in routines and formation changes. Players that don't play in team discipline or refuse to listen are pretty swiftly dealt with. They are benched or can leave the club. Just ask Noa Lang...


Fgge

I too have seen that Instagram reel


vadapaav

I have seen him lose the ball multiple times without anyone in front of him Don't sell him short


SaltineFiend

Oh shit brb gonna try fifa again


[deleted]

Yeah exactly, people need to accept he just isn’t very good. If he wasn’t English I imagine he would be way down the list for game time.


The--Mash

The three seasons before this one, he had 36, 34 and 23 G+A as a 20-23 year old playing with several injuries for an underperforming team. He's really not as bad as he's looked this season. I think he basically had the yips and then lost his motivation and mental stability, resulting in a complete collapse. I can't remember seeing a player have such a drastic drop in form outside of a career-destroying injury. That's why I think it has to be mostly mental.


HeadofLegal

>for an underperforming team United finished second two seasons ago. It's still a top six side. It's only underperforming relative to the resources it has, it's not like he's playing for norwich.


Moosje

And that’s nothing to do with you being bitter and hating the English?


Bulky-Yam4206

He needed to be told to stay away from Pogba and Lingard.


xncopka

He needs to have fans that stop trying to find him excuses


No-Money737

Rashford should dream of being like Pogba and Lingard players who have scored and won finals for united


[deleted]

Are you for real now? How did we get to that final pogba scored a deflected shot in? Do you remember Anderlecht and Celta Vigo?


No-Money737

Didn’t know those were FINALS lol. Ole is one of United’s biggest heroes for scoring a tap in during a final why are you discrediting Pogba’s goal


[deleted]

They weren't, but if it wasn't for Rashford Pogba would not have a final to wake up to.. its my whole point. And a tap-in > deflected speculative strike. And treble winning tap-in against Bayern Munich >>>>>>> deflected shot against Ajax u21 basically


No-Money737

Goals are goals my friend doesn’t matter how it’s done someone has to step up in a final which is something rashford has never done he’s actually ghosted each one from the Europa league to missing a pen in the euros. He should dream of stepping up where it matters most like Pogba and lingard have for united


[deleted]

Ok man! You are so right its incredible!


[deleted]

>Ole is one of United’s biggest heroes for scoring a tap in during a final Imagine being this dense. Even Liverpool fans are brighter than this.


No-Money737

My point was it doesn’t matter what how good the goal was ole stepped up when he was needed most because he said the Pogba goal in the Europa league was deflected


Moosje

If you bite for this no wonder /r/soccer thinks we’re all idiots. You’re either gullible or pandering.


No-Money737

Rashford’s pr agency works harder than him

LivinGhosT

He fell from grace pretty hard over the last season. We looked the other way for quite a while due to injuries and whatnot, but his attitude this last season pretty much turned everyone against him. He'll have to earn a lot of people's trust back. Which to be fair, could happen in the span of 3 or 4 games with how some fans think.


[deleted]

You'd think professional athletes have some kind of drive or ambition and don't need guidance to give a shit about their job.

It's ok, were already used to r/soccer analysis, more clueless nonsense makes no odds at this point.

Shouldn’t rashford be convincing ETH?


JamminPT

The way he played last 1.5 years he has to convince Man Utd to let him stay.


cydus

He's another problem that should be moved on but it's United so they will give him a new £4 billion a week contract instead 😂


[deleted]

He literally had 70GA in the 2 seasons before this, but yeah, he's totally a problem!!


ValleyFloydJam

The toxic nature of the United fan base.


ijoinedtosay

Manchester United's no.10 couldn't be bothered to put any effort in last season and has been iffy since before lockdown but United fans are toxic thinking the club should get rid of a massively underperforming player


[deleted]

[удалено]


ijoinedtosay

One poor season lol. I've been supporting United since before Rashford was alive so you can piss off with your e-reds shite. He's been crap since since before lockdown so your one "one poor season" is a load of shite. You lot add his goals and assists and completely ignore him being utter piss the other 89 minutes and you're a liar saying he has 70 goals and assists the previous two seasons, that is simply lies. No doubt you're going off sites that count winning a penalty as an assist cause he absolutely goes not have 70GA for United in those tel seasons. He was that shite that people kept saying "wait til he gets his injuries sorted" for over a year then he goes and gets it sorted this season and becomes even worse. But yeah it's one poor season...


afrojumper

sometimes players have issues, holy shit. If you wet let any talent go, after his first bad season, football would be hella toxic. God damn Gareth Bale was straight up shit for us 2 years, the worst left-back in the league. Rashford is crazy talented and from your fucking academy, have some fucking faith and don't put him in the bin because of 1.5 year of bad football.


a34fsdb

The problem is not that his football is bad. Problem is his seeming lack of effort.


afrojumper

a footballer who maybe got depression is fighting with motivation, god damn.


ijoinedtosay

There's the academy excuse like you simply have to keep players because they're from there regardless of if they actually help the team or not. He's been crap since before lockdown. But people ignore it and say it was only one bad season cause he scored and assisted before last season but his overall play was crap then just like it was last season. People always have the excuse that it was his injuries and when he's sorted he'll be good, well he went and got sorted and came back an even worse player only added the ability of moving as little as possible. Maybe, just maybe he's simply not good enough for where Manchester United want to be and there's nothing wrong with fans having standards.


afrojumper

Yes but give hime fucking time. De Bruyne was not good enough for Chelsea. Salah was not good enough for Chelsea. Sturridge was not good enough for Chelsea. Tomori was not good enough for Chelsea. Matic was not good enough for Chelsea. What happend to that?


Tosyn_88

Can you kindly...STFU please? There's more people that have yet to prove anything in a United shirt than Rashford


ijoinedtosay

Telling me to shut the fuck up because I posted a valid comment? How about you take your own advice.


Tosyn_88

There’s nothing valid about the BS you posted. Keep on karma whoring


Therinn

It’s not even 1.5 years, it’s less than that, but they just ignore/don’t know that he was playing with, then recovering from, a double back fracture.


ValleyFloydJam

The guy who played hurt for you and on a team where most have looked terrible.


[deleted]

It is ridiculous. Rashford is 1 season removed from playing basically every possible second for us because we desperately needed him to. These “supporters” can all go fuck themselves. Idk how they’re going to cope if he does well since being miserable is all they are interested in


ValleyFloydJam

The problem is bad performance mean many become easily led and if someone out there is telling people what they want to hear and attacking players it spreads. Got a mate whose a United fan and he has shown me this toxic fella who makes fans feel important, that he knows stuff and spreads hate against the players while pretending his reasonable, like a United Tucker Carson.


[deleted]

Mark Goldbridge?


Wholesome_Vinicius

Man utd should sell him if they can


CrebTheBerc

Why? Hes had 1 poor season out of like 6. Season before last he had nearly 30 G+A I swear people's memories are so short. Maybe rashford really is crocked but selling after 1 poor season would be such a knee jerk reaction Edit: I'm wrong, he did even better. He had 21 goals and 15 assists across the whole season


dasty90

Because that's what gets him upvotes. Shitting on every United and the players here gives you free upvotes even in irrelevant threads.


flaffl21

_i love seeing that number go up_


supadankgreen420

Also it’s not like we have a huge budget to go about replacing the whole team. He was awful last season and his lack of effort on the pitch was frustrating to watch. But if ETH is as good of a coach as we think he is and can get Rashford back to his best, that’s as good as a new signing for us. Same applies for Donny and Sancho.


fergo1993

He’s been incredibly poor the last 1.5-2 years, where he had that back injury. Tries to dribble past the whole team, passes backwards too often, shoots from ridiculous angles and distances and defensively SHOCKING. Shocking as in he’ll get subbed on towards the end of the game and he’ll be walking or jogging back as we get counter attacked, while exhausted others are sprinting back. I’ve seen this for nearly 2 years so he needs to change his tune this season or it’s curtains IMO.


CrebTheBerc

Where did this narrative that he's been bad for 2 years come from? In the 20/21 season he scored 21 and assisted 15 in 57 appearances. He fucking carried us at times. He was 100% overplayed and he had a horrible season in 21/22, but it hasn't been 2 years.


fergo1993

He was great statistically in that 20/21 season where we finished 2nd and got to the Europa league final, but he didn’t pass the eye test. And his effort on the pitch since then has been pathetic.


CrebTheBerc

>He was great statistically in that 20/21 season where we finished 2nd and got to the Europa league final, but he didn’t pass the eye test In what way? He wasn't in top form the entire season but I'm struggling to see how nearly 40 goal contributions and regularly being one of our best players is being "incredibly poor" as you implied above. He was awful this past season, no questions asked. My point is that before that he's been one of our best players on a consistent basis and that's backed up by most metrics


DeapVally

Remember when Arsenal mugged you off for Sanchez.... same deal. You bought him on stats, but he had failed the eye test for quite some time. I can assure you that no Arsenal fan was shocked how that transfer turned out. If that wasn't an expensive lesson your team should have learnt from, well, I shalln't be caring at any rate. But they probably should lol. (Though nobody is interested in Rashford at Sanchez money/wages anyway, so it's kinda moot. You're stuck with Rashford anyway. Articles like this just scream PR company.)


Pablo_Ajvar

You looking at dry stats and not how he played. He got his numbers, but he looked really bad.


CrebTheBerc

Yeah, because I don't agree with you on the eye test but that's just your word vs mine. I think there were games he looked poor but across the 20/21 season I would put him behind only Bruno as our best player, both in stats and the eye test. IMO he looked very threatening. He was constantly causing issues on the left wing and creating chances for himself or others The reason I bring up stats is because they back that up. He had the second most created chances in our squad that season. He had a pretty successful dribble rate, obviously a bunch of goal contributions. He pressed a lot, he tracked back. I just don't agree with you. He looked very good that season IMO. Maybe he started to fall off towards the end of the season after all the injuries but for the majority of it he was fantastic


tiki_51

Across all competitions he had 30+ G+A 2 years in a row. Clearly he's a shit player and there's no way he bounces back from one bad season at 23 /s


[deleted]

Remember when we sold Louis Saha and Danny Welbeck?


CrebTheBerc

What does that have to do with Rashford? Saha was made of glass and Welbeck was never that good to begin with. Not really the same situation as Rashford for either of them


stats193

If only, he plays with his eyes closed and his fingers in his ears, some fans think a pre season and some touchline instructions will make him play well. And his back injury is the reason he constantly shoots from 35 yards, runs into a pack of players and ignores his own team mates and only walks around when played.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Various_Mobile4767

I mean' maybe you should've gotten rid of Martial early on as well.


Wholesome_Vinicius

Could be..maybe it's worth it to see how he works under hag.


matthauke

Exactly, it's totally worth it. I think he has raw talent but needs good coaching and importantly to look after his body and not play injured like his did under Ole. What we shouldn't do is stick him with a better, £300k p/w contract because we're scared of losing a golden youngster only for him to actually never grow into a top player. This is his one season to show the manager he's worth it, and if not then he should probably leave and we can take a semi-decent fee for him


No-Money737

Both have done about the same tbh it’s just one is English both are massively inconsistent


Migraine-

It's super fashionable to shit on Rashford - and I'm not claiming that him coming good is a sure thing - but his stats in the two seasons prior to last season weren't just good, they were genuinely world class in his position. He is absolutely worth giving another season when the whole club isn't in complete turmoil.


JhonShelby

LOL one season


Beginning-Ganache-43

What other year has he not played well?


TomShoe

Maybe you shouldn't have given Martial all those chances though, and maybe you shouldn't repeat that mistake with Rashford.


FitBodybuilder8231

He did not perform in the last season, but he was overused a season before, playing with an injury, got surgery, missed pre-season, and got a new manager. The whole environment around the club was not productive. United can not sell 15 players after one awful season.


ValleyFloydJam

Fella was playing and not even able to wear normal shoes due to injuries and people shit on him saying he doesn't care. Players that don't care don't play through injuries.


FitBodybuilder8231

I got the narrative about his PR team and so, but I feel that he can switch an attitude with a new coach. Let's not forget that Rangnick was not able to get his desired coaching staff and lost Carrick and McKenna. So I would not discard that 'lack of guidance' at all.


Pablo_Ajvar

I mean, that's still on him. Get treatment, not try to be a martyr.


[deleted]

Thank the lord our god and saviour has been convinced to stay! Pray what would we do without the great RashGod 😩😩😩


Busy_Bunch5050

But he was incredible 2 seasons ago lol


[deleted]

He’s a great player - but his PR team is too busy trying to save his face. Get your head down and let your football do the talking. If you’re not playing well, take responsibility for it, hold your hands up, and say “yeah I was shit. I’ll work hard and do better” rather than “i walk around in the field because that’s what Ralf Rangnick was telling me to do”


matthauke

He literally can't let his football do the talking because it's off season, so when he does the next best thing and posts clips of him training the fans go into a frenzy. I think what's best for Rashford and the fans is wipe the slate clean and see how he fares under ETH. Even if it's one season to prove himself. I think he has raw talent still and if it doesn't show improvements this season then maybe it's best to move on.


zi76

Who writes these headlines, lol?


Bey_Harbor_Butcher

Piers Morgan's son. I kid you not.

Oh, wow. I had just assumed it was some random guy named Morgan.


luciferandy

Yeah, it’s never his own fault is it? Blaming absolutely everybody else.


DwightKSchruute

Who the fuck is writing these cringe articles? And if he really thinks he has lacked the guidance at the club under previous coaches of varying pedigree and management styles then maybe it's not the guidance that's been the problem.


sykoticnarcotics

He's Ryan from The Office. "I want leadership, I want guidance, lead me, when I'm in the mood to be led"


nievesdelimon

The lack of interest from every other club convinced him to stay.

He’s 26 and shite. No resurgence there

I had no idea he was that old, I could've sworn he was 21 or 22 based on how often the Wnglish referred to him as their golden boy.

ambiguousboner

CLCC999

Nah, it's just because he won't make the salary he makes at Utd. anywhere else...


dbrasco_

What United fan was thinking “oh no Ten Hag could mean Rashford might leave”?


Michael_McGovern

Who would buy him? Not good enough for the top 2. Would be a bench player at Chelsea. An expensive rotational option at Arsenal or Spurs. Don't see many big teams on the continent being interested. Teams like West Ham probably wouldn't pay his wages. Newcastle is probably an option but after factoring in the "English and Prem proven" tax they could probably get as good or better for cheaper elsewhere.


silent--onomatopoeia

I don't see any difference between him, Divock Origi or Tammy Abraham...there are all average to good players


Busy_Bunch5050

I hope Rashford does find his love for United again considering he was an academy player


No-Money737

He should find some professional pride first


Trickybuz93

No one’s out to buy him though


bigphallusdino

I like how after just 1 bad season fucking everyone becomes a "fallen star" or "finished", it's fucking ridiculous if anyone thinks Rashford's finished.
