Are PSG going to vye with us for Hoijlund signature Ed do you know now Mbappe seemingly off or do you expect us to wrap that one up?
{Ed002's Note - Rasmus Hojlund (S) A primary target for Milan. Napoli will look to him if they lose Osihem, Inter if they lose Lukaku and Juventus if they lose Vlahovic. Newcastle, Brighton and Arsenal have sent scouts and might be an option for Manchester United. A wildcard option might be Bayern Munich or Chelsea but not top of the list for either - and way down the list for Chelsea. Real Madrid have spoken with Atalanta to propose a solution that would see a one year loan back. Atalanta will not look to sell unless the player asks for a move and they can raise €60M. Manchester United and PSG will look for solutions..
1.) 22 Jul 2023 07:36:42
We seem to be avoiding bidding wars at the moment, cannot see us going toe to toe with PSG if they start throwing money at Atalanta.
2.) 22 Jul 2023 09:00:49
I think Hojlund will be a United player by the end of next weekend. Whilst there have been loads of players linked so far, the really ‘loud’ rumours this year have been Mount, Onana, Hojlund so I expect the third to follow the former two into Old Trafford.
3.) 22 Jul 2023 11:44:48
Dunno about that Downsie. He's worth probably half what they're asking, paying for potential is one thing but he's not had a prolific season to back it up. I reckon we'll aim for similar to the last two sigings, £50-60m?
4.) 22 Jul 2023 12:44:21
I think that’s the sort of figure we’ll pay, Spenno.
But can see us having to part with either Amad or Pellistri on loan on top of that to seal the deal.
5.) 23 Jul 2023 12:17:33
Always a good sign if Madrid are looking at him.
6.) 23 Jul 2023 20:49:24
Not always a good sign angelred, especially if they decide to get that state sponsored cheque book out.
29 Jun 2023 16:30:55
Pau Torres to Villa 45m in the offing.
1.) 29 Jun 2023 17:32:51
They are getting a really good defender. Emery building a good team. Won't be many easy matches this year.
2.) 29 Jun 2023 18:44:56
Torres and Maguire finally united?
3.) 30 Jun 2023 02:14:59
Hope so utd, that would help us to move forward.
22 Jun 2023 12:00:49
Hi Ed002, with Spurs signing Vicario does this mean we will look to him Raya now?
{Ed002's Note - Raya is on a list of GKs Manchester United are interested in.}
1.) 22 Jun 2023 15:18:16
Onana to United is a good bet.
2.) 22 Jun 2023 16:07:53
Hope so TRD. Feel like he'd be a tremendous signing.
3.) 22 Jun 2023 16:33:40
if we sign Onana or Costa i'd be very happy, both look just what we need.
15 Jun 2023 17:17:41
Hi Ed002, do you United hold interest or do you know of any move for Axel Disasi?
{Ed002's Note - Axel Disasi (CB) West Ham and Spurs had a declared interest but after adding Aguerd in the summer would have ended that and Spurs took Lenglet on loan. Southamption interest will have gone. After the sale of BB Monaco will probably not be open to a sale, even though they have an obligation to buy another CB. Wildcards will be Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City.}
02 Jun 2023 13:29:42
Heard a rumour from a friend today that Rasmus Hojlund has signed with SEG agency who are brokering a deal to United.
1.) 02 Jun 2023 17:14:13
Would be a great signing. Has a lot of great attributes.
2.) 02 Jun 2023 17:36:37
For me, the main concern with Højlund is actually his style of play being so similar to that of Haaland.
Whilst he is a similar player with devastating qualities that, in the right system, would frighten the life out of some defenders, the United he would join is very different to the City that Haaland joined and each would bring different levels of impact due to the respective stages of development each club is/ was at. United are in a significant period of transition, City just needed the cherry on top.
Haaland joined a City that won a title without a recognised striker and was developing a precision machine that could dance it's way to a goal - they initially only needed a striker with different qualities to complement the intricate patterns of play.
Since the arrival of Haaland, Pep has further modified the system throughout the season to bring out the very best of him - these changes have worked very well and turned City into an even more imposing threat.
The problem for Højlund is that United are a very long way from just needing one player to complete the set.
The scenario suggested by the mooted signing of Højlund presents a massive potential problem - the inadvertent compulsion to play to the strengths of a typical big striker, the old hit and hope business.
Ultimately, I don't see ten Hag ever resorting to such archaic silliness, but I do fear that the current period of transition could be hampered by any acquisitions who either arrive to the party too early or are just not the right fit for the ten Hag system.
Osimhen, for example, is, imo, not the right fit at all - I personally think he'd be an incredibly expensive disaster.
Højlund already offers more game for the ten Hag system than Osimhen ever will, but he'd still be a big ol' punt.
Alas, despite my concerns, I trust that ten Hag and his team know enough about him to make the correct decision.
3.) 02 Jun 2023 20:12:23
Woggle I disagree about osimhen, I think that he would be a good signing. He is a handful in the box, strong, hold the ball up well, he is rapid and scores goals. he's the seria golden boot winner. most of our goals come from fast counters, him and rashford would cause teams serious problems.
Hojlund would be more of a risk as he's not going to come cheap either, I heard he's valued at around 60 million which isn't peanuts. He looks likes an exciting player but the step up might be a bit too soon for him.
4.) 02 Jun 2023 20:48:57
Anyone who can actually stay fit, work hard, control the long ball, lay it off accurately and take a reasonable % of his good chances, has to be a big advance on where we are now, irrespective of ETH's preferred playing style. I mean, let's get real here. We're taking about replacing Martial and Won't Wontscore, who combined have 8 goals in close to 50 games.
5.) 02 Jun 2023 21:56:34
I didn't get Haaland vibes at all watching Hojlund, in fact I thought they were quite different. I saw quite a busy linking player in and around the box as opposed to an out-and-out no.9. Not a bad thing at all, in fact they'd probably play very well together!
6.) 02 Jun 2023 22:04:56
dannyc
Osimhen is certainly an explosive player, but he's not actually much quicker than Rashford who happens to be far more composed and technically gifted. Rashford is also facing much quicker, far stronger defenders than those in Serie A. Rashford is already better.
Most of our goals do come from fast breaks, but that surely suggests that we're still a bit of a technically limited team with little dynamism in attacking areas. Also, those fast breaks owe more to vision and transitions through midfield than to Rashford. When the midfield weave their way up the pitch, they frequently find the momentum either lost or inhibited by the indecision and limitations of our attackers (Rashford included) .
Don't get me wrong, I'd take Kane, Martinez, and probably Ramos and Muani, in that order before I'd take either of Højlund or Osimhen, but Osimhen would be my last choice because he is never worth £100m+ in a month of 25hr Sundays. He's decent, but that's it - he will bully nobody here.
United need a different type of striker, one with a little guile and the ability to pick a lock - Rashford is not that type of player, neither is Osimhen.
I'll call it now, Osimhen will not hit 30+ goals in a PL season - not even at City.
7.) 02 Jun 2023 22:08:48
Spenno, I tend to agree. I think the comparisons to Haaland are lazy based on the fact that they are both tall, quick, blonde strikers from Scandinavia.
Haaland is a complete No.9, he lives and breathes goals, everything is about scoring goals. Strong, quick, and great in the air.
Højlund for me looks like he will become a far more rounded forward. Works harder for the team off the ball. Links play well, plays with his head up. Far more of a team player. He'll never score as many goals as Haaland, but he'll be a great player.
8.) 02 Jun 2023 22:57:50
Too early to say who’ll be a great player and who won’t out of the above mentioned players. The only player who falls into that category is Kane……but for the money they’ll want it makes zero financial sense.
9.) 03 Jun 2023 09:36:47
Only Harry Kane guarantees goals from the lot. Scoring was our Archille's heel this season, our woeful goal difference was down to just how few goals we scored. For context, Arsenal scored 30 more goals than us. If we had a Harry Kane in our team this past season, we would have at the least been pushing City even more than Arsenal did. If we could sign only one player this window, I'd take Kane over anyone else.
10.) 03 Jun 2023 10:11:16
Unruly, and what if Spurs won't sell Kane for less than 150m?
11.) 03 Jun 2023 10:31:17
Shappy, I know what you are asking is hypothetical, but if it was either Kane for 150M or anyone else like Osimhen for 100M as is being reported, I'll take Kane. Much as we need reinforcements down the spine of the team, it's important to note that only City and Newcastle conceded less goals than us. Shows that in defence and midfield we aren't too bad. In attack even a woeful Spurs scored more than us. We simply do not have a striker. If a way to work Greenwood back to the fold can be found, I'd be okay with him and Kane taking the places of Wout and Martial and that alone will see us get 80 plus points next season.
12.) 03 Jun 2023 11:50:11
Neither kane or osimhen are worth 150 mill. One is a 30 year old striker in his last year of his contract, the other comes from a league which notoriously disappoints when you do big signings from there.
Can’t recall any who have lived up to the price tag. Common sense stuff if you are running a football club to set some limits on how ypu conduct your business.
13.) 03 Jun 2023 12:36:42
Ahmad H
Zola?
Bergkamp?
Henry?
14.) 03 Jun 2023 20:02:41
Why would Kane choose United, are we likely to challenge for the league in the next 2 seasons?
We would need City to have a bad season and then hope Chelsea are still in transition with Poch, Newcastle suffer from the extra games, Liverpool's 7 season syndrome lasts for eight, and Arsenal, well just be Arsenal.
15.) 04 Jun 2023 14:01:24
Why wouldn’t he choose United? For the first time in years we have a manager on an upwards trajectory trying to put a team together to play proactive football!
This nonsense I read every so often that next year will be harder again because Liverpool Chelsea and spurs will be back …. Says who! We’re there and with correct investment will Improve again! Get behind the manager!
16.) 05 Jun 2023 11:10:46
All feels a bit of a hapless discussion really, if Levy sticks to his guns and won't sell to a rival club, Real have an open goal assuming they want to stump up the huge fee. I'd love to see him thrive there but Mbappe is the one they really want so will probably take an older/ free stop-gap signing like Firminho for a season before moving for the Frenchman next season.

When are City and Chelsea getting relegated?
1.) 18 Nov 2023 09:26:37
Read somewhere a while ago city’s case will get dragged out possibly into 2025. I expect a massive punishment when its eventually is done. Dropping down a division will not be out of the question imo if these charges can be substantiated. Their case is not comparative to everton and a lot more serious.
If the stuff about chelsea rerouting payments off their books through third party companies then that is also quite serious and they will get major points decucted.
Then we get into this grey area of lawsuits by other clubs who can claim damages and cost to them by unfair practices. Pretty serious stuff that might go on for many years.
Imagine the teams who finished 5th or even 6th in some of these years where both city and chelsea were in top 4 and costs of missing cl play.
2.) 18 Nov 2023 15:24:39
Not a cat in hells chance they or Chelsea will be relegated, nor should they if you only want that because of jealousy and the hope we might get further up the table then that says all one needs to know!
3.) 18 Nov 2023 16:33:10
They'd have to demote City to the Championship, no point in deducting them any amount of points. If they'd lost 10 points last season they'd still have finished 3rd. Even losing 50 points wouldn't have relegated them. But I guess they'd have lost the revenue of European football for a season and a few players might have left.
4.) 18 Nov 2023 20:13:12
Hard to make a judgement on what the puniahment should be when it's not yet clear what evidence and indeed defences the club's have.
What I do think is that the EPLnkocling the arse out of this oa po nly going to strengthen the resolve of politicians to implement regulation of to football.
Football is a headline topic, standing up for the little man at the expense of the big man appeals to the public.
That was all announced on the day thw white paper into football regulation was punished or was originally supposed to be. And now the EPL response may well be the hammer iaed to put the nail in the coffin.
5.) 19 Nov 2023 08:48:58
Jealousy @Rangersred? How about contempt? Is that a good enough reason?
Toxic cheating leadership with major questions over the integrity of Pep at City and Barca. Funny how the only club with real integrity on his CV (Bayern) was the only one he had no success at. Coincidence? No. simple algebra. No blood, financial or referee doping = no silverware!

Amongst all the negatives lately, I just want to saw take a bow Rasmus Hoijlund, an instant hero.

He was all round play was superb and his two goals were a joy to watch. The disallowed goal was even better. Ice cool.
Shame the rest of them are awful.

As soon as he took that ball and turned near the half way line, I was up on my feet. I'd nearly forgot what that felt like watching Utd.

A good interview and read with Ole floating about for those interested. Lift the lid on his time and a few things, was a good read tbf.
1.) 20 Sep 2023 14:25:06
I question the timing of the release.
It's been released when ETH is at his lowest point here in his managerial career.
2.) 20 Sep 2023 14:45:28
OGS was as much a wrong choice as CR7 was, but I had a certain amount of sympathy for him considering the players he had under him. Even more sympathy for RR who tried to implement a system and style of play, but those same players either refused or were incapable of following it. ETH has many of those same players still, and you can see the same issues.
3.) 20 Sep 2023 15:42:38
The sympathy I have for OGS is exactly the same as the sympathy I have for Harry Maguire.
Somebody employed by the club to do a job that they are totally under qualified for.
OGS was as much a poor appointment as the majority of signings we’ve made over the past decade. Like some players such as Maguire and Fred, Ole tried, but was nowhere near good enough.
I think the recruitment of ETH was lucky in some ways. We had to get one right eventually out of pure dumb luck. Now we’re seeing a good manager struggle in our crumbling club, which is further highlighting the mess above (and below) him.
4.) 20 Sep 2023 16:36:03
Yes, we were lucky to get ETH, whether or not he's going to be able to stop the rot. I have consistently maintained that the club hid behind Ole's little initial run of success to appoint him the manager after they had stated that he was a caretaker for the season only, because, after making enquiries, no one else of any standing wanted the job. At that time Woodward was still in charge, and after the criticisms leveled at the club by both LVG and Mourinho, both well respected in the game, everyone could see clearly that we were no longer anything more than a marketing/ financial device. We are rid of Woodward, thank the Lord, but we still have the Glazers, whose lack of interest, caring or capability in or about the footballing side of things, remains a hindrance to full recovery.
5.) 20 Sep 2023 16:38:26
Why though Wazza, based on what? yes just that a Good Manager, not a great manager nothing to back him up to be a great manager, winning Dutch league don’t make you worthy of title Great that’s all he won oh and a cup in U. K…. which really again was a poor performance……. when things turn which they surely will still I don’t see us winning much
Buys have been very poor in game management not great tactics all over the place, basically lucky to have 6 points at moment table does not lie
I appreciate many on here don’t want to see what’s staring them in the face but it’s not great however you want to dress it up! Injuries or not you should still be showing a style or some direction after 15 months we are not and the 6 points we have got we certainly did not blow them lower league teams away by any stretch.
It’s not good at all.
6.) 20 Sep 2023 16:58:57
I was at a company 10/ 12 years ago, and a round of promotions came up. I had a colleague who applied who had a long laundry list of things that were wrong with the company, what he'd improve, what should have been done differently he was going to use in his interview. Little did this idiot know was he was actually in charge of 80% of the issues. He could have changed a lot of this and been a shoe in for the promotion, only he went and shined a light on his own poor performance.
Revisionism about Oles time in charge is way too early to take affect. He talks about the players not working hard enough. He held no standards and danced around on a pitch when we went top of the league in January, only to rule us of a title challenge 2 weeks later.
He may not have started the rot but he done absolutely nothing to stop it. He rewarded mediocrity, he signed some poor players on huge contracts and won nothing.
Haaland, Bellingham, Rice and Kane he wanted?
He went behind Raiolas back to try and poach Haaland scuppering any deal. Walked Bellingham around Carrington and that was enough for him to book a trip to Dortmund.
I find the whole thing quite paradoxical. He moans about the club not being run very well but what he fails to see is that a well run club would never have hired him in the first place.
Anyways, 2-0 to United tonight.
7.) 20 Sep 2023 19:20:08
Agree with some of that but it was Sir Alex that walked Bellingham around Carrington and ETH signings so far to me look poorer than Ole's, except maybe Casemiro.
8.) 21 Sep 2023 07:35:00
Using "lucky to have 6 points" and "table doesn't lie" in the same sentence, hilarious! ?
Perhaps we should have a clear penalty against Spurs? Perhaps we were a bit unlucky against Arsenal? Nah, we are just terrible.
9.) 21 Sep 2023 09:42:11
OGS for caretaker when Erik is inevitably sacked ???.
18 Aug 2023 22:28:51
Does any Ed's know when Rasmus Hoijlund is likely to be fit to be in the squad or eleven?
{Ed077's Note - I think he will probably make his debut after the International break only. He did share a photo of him in training yesterday so a good sign.}
15 Aug 2023 08:38:26
Having slept on it, maybe was rustiness, new to what ETH wants in that system but we need to sharpen up quick or Spurs and Arsenal will both tears us to shreds. I think the Mount Bruno experiment will be short lived if we are getting overran like that, remember this is Wolves one of the faves for the drop that ran thru us at will, better teams will annihilate us. We was as exposed as Liverpool midfield was. Think we need some physicality in there so Onana and Amrabat please. Cas can't be left exposed like that and Bruno with Mount means Bruno's risk taking passes when they don't come off leave Cas vulnerable to runners. Maybe certain games that midfield works when understanding is better but we can't carry on like that.
Rashford was terrible last night yet somehow Garnacho who at least tried and had positive intent got most of the flack, lack of movement when he had the ball was a big issue, not that he was great but he does try and create something.
Hopefully Martinez injury isn't a bad one but special mention to Onana and Shaw for some good saves and blocks, though lucky Onana didn't clatter into the player attacking the ball as then it's a pen, AWB too I felt was decent.
We move on, 3 points but plenty for ETH to think about.
1.) 15 Aug 2023 09:15:03
WRD let's call spade a spade. Garnacho was the worst player on the pitch. He tried doing everything by himself and kept running into walls of defenders or misplacing passes or hitting the top tier with his shots. I am not a rashford fan by any stretch of the imagination but whenever rashford moved to the left, heade things happen. On the right Antony was isolated and only time he looked doing anything was when AWB made that overlap.
I agree on the midfield though, we need Amrabat there but if we need Amrabat for teams like Wolves then the coaching isn't right.
2.) 15 Aug 2023 09:24:24
I thought Rashford made a great shout for the right wing slot, as he certainly is no centre forward.
Onana decent with the ball at his feet and also very impressed with his performance over all. We do need to use his ability and work hard at playing out from the back, with the midfield involved, as the ball was recycled across the back line far too often.
Very weak in the centre of the park but certainly would help if we could control play further up the pitch, rather than the ball coming straight back at us, hence the very real need of a centre forward, who is not injured (btw did he have a medical? ) .
A lot of work still required on the training field but all in all a very poor performance from us but I'll take the 3 points all day long.
3.) 15 Aug 2023 09:41:43
AWB was ok. But he’s not what we need to back Antony up. Dalot is a better fit because when you have a heavily left footed player (Antony) playing on the right, he’s always going to turn in. Therefore you need a quick and attack minded full back who can bomb on and give that outlet. AWB isn’t that player. The way that we’re set up we need a better full back full stop down that right hand side.
4.) 15 Aug 2023 10:05:35
Antony is easy to defend until he learns to go on the outside and a delivery with his right foot, he did that once last night and he got in but the delivery was not great. We can talk about overlaps etc etc but he is limited. Garnacho and rash are much harder to defend as they go both ways and more effective imo.
For 85 million pounds and probably a much higher wage my expectations off him are always going to be higher than a 18 year kid from the academy who is just getting started. Garnacho had a bad game but he will learn and we have to give the boy time to develop.
I think Bruno had a howler yesterday giving the ball away, trying passes that were miles off and not not influencing the game much given his role and for me the biggest disappointment of them all.
5.) 15 Aug 2023 10:48:52
Ahmad you don't need to sugarcoat it, you dislike antony. You have never said a good word about him even when he has had good games. On Garnacho i don't care if he is 18 or 80. If you are wearing the jersey and playing you have to be good enough. let's just hope Garnacho hasn't believed his own hype else he will go down the drain very soon. He is better coming on as a sub for now. He isn't ready to start games yet.
6.) 15 Aug 2023 11:17:15
United
Its not about like or dislike and don't look at players that way and actually think his work ethic is great and he tries hard. Its more about expectations.
For 85 million you are suppose to have a lot more great games than the occasional good game. Not asking for 20 goals but maybe 10 goals and 7 or 8 assists a season in the pl.
Do you honestly believe an 18 year old boy just getting started and a 24 year old man with years of football under his belt at competitive level are to be judged equally, I guess we can agree to disagree.
Do you have the same expectations of let's say a Bruno compared to Mainoo or going to give the kid some slack to make mistakes and develop.
7.) 15 Aug 2023 12:37:11
I’m not an Antony fan either, but it’s not his fault that we massively overpaid for him.
8.) 15 Aug 2023 13:18:32
Ahmad, let's put it this way then - garnacho has come through the academy, knows the club ethos and has lived for a few years now while Antony has moved to England just about a year, last day transfer. Who should fit in better and who should get time to get accustomed to?
9.) 15 Aug 2023 13:24:10
Ahmad.
You continually beat the same drums and no matter what Antony does you’ll be on his back. Give the guy a break, the transfer fee is what it is. ETH wanted him and believes in him, so cut the sledging. You could try actually going to Old Trafford and getting behind the lads……
I thought Antony was ok last night tbh, he looked sharp and there were decent glimpses of creativity. I think he’ll be ok.
10.) 15 Aug 2023 14:30:35
United
Garnacho has played a lot less games in the PL than Antony or top Flight football and physically not even at maturity I suspect.
Both been around the new manager at United same amount of time and if anything Antony knows eth better and what he wants having played for him at ajax.
Ridiculous comparison and you know it, but you are looking for an argument with me as usual ala previous posts.
Fireman
I am not sledging and how does ones observations on a player become sledging.
He had 1 assist in 3O Pl games with plenty of quality players around him. That's a reflection of football IQ, ability, decision making imo and hard to teach, some players have it and some don't.
That does not cut the Mustard for united as a winger. Hopefully, Last season was a first season fluke and him getting used to league in terms of pace and physicality but he has to improve quite a bit.
Finally I support every player who puts the shirt on and hoping they do great and never wish anyone to fail.
Unfortunately, I don't live in England and Its a long trip for me and I try to get to few games a year. I went to both Cup finals last year. I was proud of the guys even after the FA cup, they played an unbelievable team in top form and lost but gave a good account of themselves.
its banter site and allowed to have a view on a player. If it makes you happy I can say he is amazing and incredible performance to date and from here onwards I will have nothing but praise Antony week in week out no matter what :)
11.) 15 Aug 2023 15:22:47
Ahmad you are as important to me as Maguire is to United. To summarise, i don't need to argue with you. You have an agenda against a player and that's it. I have an agenda with the performance of the player. Both things are different.

Sorry, but that’s everything wrong with our fanbase I’m afraid. Know loads of local lads who went to quite a few games who’d have loved final tickets.
We digress. All the best for the season.

Our preseason preparations for past two seasons have been woeful. We just weren’t ready yesterday. Last year we got smashed by Brighton and then Brentford, so not expecting a decent performance till we play forest. But we need to look at our preseason preparations.

I go to 2/ 3 games a year at OT. My son is at Uni in London and whenever I am there to see him and if there is a game at OT, we take the train and go watch the game. He has never been a football fan or followed it growing up but now a solid United supporter LOL
The cup finals I try and go to everyone and just buy tickets through the secondary market. Agreed impossible to get tickets and have to pay a premium to get them.

SJR bid values the club higher with the structure of the bid by all accounts, so I guess if Qatar want it they’ll have to match/ beat the SJR valuation is. Of course it could be that SJR bid is in the press so that Qatar will up their offer. As an above poster said tho it’s boring reading about it now, I don’t want the Glazers to remain in any capacity so I’m firmly behind Qatar.

If they wait 2 more years or don’t sell then they condemn us to falling further behind on and off the pitch, that’s why most fans don’t like the leeches.

It’s me, I am within MU financial parameters and willing to accept the wages.

Clearly have no money in the pot due to sales. £4m for this keeper, £3-£7m loan fee for Cucarella, trying Amrabat on loan also.

Maybe he’s just not in the squad.

A couple of maniacs voting full glazer ownership there lol.

He won’t be the controlling share will he, he needs to hit another 30 odd% won’t he, not sure he ever will. Glazers for the cash injection they wanted to carry on leaching off us.

All I am saying is how many chances does Rashford get to not work as hard as the lads that came in, weaker opposition or not, the fundamentals and the work rate of the likes of Garnacho in particular, Hannibal, Pellistri all make Rashford appear rather lazy and I don’t see how Rashford is that integral to eth when the west we have looked, played the most cohesive we’ve been is without him. Garnacho needs more minutes and I’m sorry Rashford has had enough time to develop. A couple purple patches over 3 years isn’t enough for me as when they dry up, which is most of the time, the other side to his game is pretty non existent. I expect as a united player the bare minimum if the goals aren’t coming or you’re not playing well is to work hard, run, track back, for the team, the aforementioned players all do it, Rashford doesn’t.

Sounds like a wind up post. Hannibal, Garnacho, Pellistri showed more desire and work rate than Rashford ever does.

Rashford is vastly overrated and I’d okay Garnacho ahead of him who has vastly more ability. Sick of Rashford getting defended for being selfish and lazy tbh.
