Not dropped, but he needs to be moved to the right (or left). Basically he needs to be played wide, his pace can somewhat help.
Rashford must be dropped!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Ideally he would be best on the right, with James on the left, but his better games have been from the left. He does well picking the ball up in midfield, and attacking the opposing defence, but his decision making is poor, and he tends to shoot from anywhere. If he would just get his head up when breaking into the opposition box then he could lay the ball on a plate for a team mate in a better position.
think he is just now getting the heat rightfully.
I don't think Rashford can cope with the pressure of being a senior player at Utd.
Well to be fair, he's got his gold chain now hasn't he and his public image, plus his 200k a week+, so he's made for life.
Rashy is Ole's darling, not chance in hell will he ever be dropped.
He won't be dropped. And shouldn't be dropped. Time to step up and play himself through bad form.
Who will replace him? A very raw 17 year old kid?
We're going to have to put up with him until Martial is back (whenever that is).
He is only good out wide, the problem is Ole must see him as a number 9 and the fact Rashford believes his own hype. If he wants a career at the highest level he needs to play from a wide area.

Think a proper switch to 4-3-3 with the front 3 being James on the left and Martial through the middle once he’s fit with Rashford benched until he improves or realises he’s not indispensable is the best way for us to go at the moment, I’m not even going to suggest what to do with the right hand side as it’s a thankless task.
Oh is it a fact? Didn't realise that. Where did you learn this fact then pal? The narrative that Rashford is Ronaldo in the ego department is so utterly bizarre. Is this because he wears flashy clothes or because he takes free kicks?
I agree with this. People are very presumptuous about his ego.
Yeah maybe, I do get the feeling that if he was playing for a better team he would score at a very good rate.
Tend to agree, he's not 100% fit, needs to be taken out for his own sake, but who have we got instead? You cannot throw Greenwood in yet. But I'd still give him more minutes in games.
1 goal from open play in 18 games.
Enough said.

When is Martial back?
Yes, if you've been around football long enough you will get used to noticing these people a mile off.
Why are we afraid of losing Rashford? What's wrong with not afraid of losing Rashford?
I even give Veron as another example that just because the player is considered to be talented doesn't mean they are suit with the football club or the manager. Ibrahimovic & Eto'o weren't good enough in Pep's view but they were one of the best striker.
I never said said that we shouldn't be replacing Lukaku. Sell him is not the issue, not replacing him is the issue.
You need to stop talking BS that I never say!! You are twisting my sentence, read them carefully and you can start talking to me again.
He'll be dropped once Martial returns.
I'll keep that in mind.
He won't, he'll just move to the left or right.
"My Rashy shall always play"
In about a week, for the last 4 weeks.
Or you've just heard/read other people saying it and now you believe it too.
He is obviously carrying an injury which is not helping him, but his main issue is intelligence ! He has no positional sense. He is playing as our main striker and when crosses come into the box he is on the wing or miles away from the play. It's so frustrating ! He looked better when he was 18 than he does now
I'm having a joke about the old LVG quote about Rooney.Made up quotes. Useful
Lighten up a bit mate.
I remember when Ole took over he said rashford needs to shake off his nervousness at the time of shooting. It looks like he still hasn't.
I also remember Ole complaining (kind of) that he is not working hard enough. Not exact words but same meaning.

Watch him after the ball leaves his area. He’s obviously injured and it’s affecting his performances. He’s only playing because the squad is so thin in front. When Martial returns I hope he gets time for a proper rehab.
He's the best we've got. Dropping him certainly wouldn't do him any good. The team wouldn't benefit either. So no point! The lad's giving his all but no it's just not working. Obviously his head isn't in the right place and that needs to be addressed by our coaching staff. Should have been sorted long before now. If we haven't got the right person in house to get him right then we must hire somone who can ffs. A total waste of talent!

Greenwood is way better even at 17. Beyond the 2 goals in 2 games, as opposed to Rashys 1 in 18, he is just technically leaps and bounds above.
We should play Greenwood.
I've been told that he's been carrying an injury since the Liverpool game in February, i wonder when people will ever stop pulling those injuries excuses?
His good form only lasted 2 months since Ole took over and he never recovered since

He is better than what he is currently showing, but that is the pressure of playing for this club I guess, you can't go in such dire patches of form. Getting Martial back would help the situation imo, he can be moved to the wings and with less pressure try and get some confidence back.
He tries to play like a young Rooney with nowhere near the level of strength, finesse or stamina.
Stop bloody running around aimlessly and conserve your energy for the right moments, that takes some thinking though, which is not one of his strong suit.

you made it sound as if he has no say at all... you telling me the board turned down SAF? my point is he isn't strong enough (or in a strong enough position, which isn't good for the club)
Well it's unfair to compare Fergie to any current manager. He had way more power than they'd ever be given.
Although I wouldn't be surprised. He certainly couldn't have been happy replacing Ronaldo with Valencia, Obertan and Michael Owen.
He will have had so many chances by the time we get to January. If he is still as useless then as he is now then he should be replaced with a new signing.
Apparently he was crap for England?
Yeah but how are we gonna sell him. Even people discussing his inflated stats on fifa are calling him Rashford in real life and overrated.
He is on 200k. There will be no takers.
He’s 21, and the team is poor. He needs a rest, not to be replaced.
He was ok, but the whole team played very very poorly in general. He only played a bit of the second half anyway.
