How exactly do you know no one outside the UK rates him as a special talent? Watching United from South America, the Argie announcers, and especially their ex-player pundits, absolutely cream over Rashford. They easily rate rate him as world class and one of, if not thee top English players of his generation. You're talking absolute bollocks saying nobody rates him outside the UK. Learn Spanish and have a listen.

Disagree with that. It was the same situation last year when he had a bad back and continued to play and ended up with a stress fracture there. Ole is ole. He continues to play the same people week in week out, no rotation. Add on the fact that we failed to add a top class winger last summer. Poor showing all round really.
How many do u know?
I’d rather he step out of the team and we get him the treatment/rest he needs. Not only is that the sensible thing to do, he’s not actually much of an asset playing with such a hindrance anyway.
Glad he played the second half against Sociedad. That was worthwhile.
He's massively underrated. Comfortably our 2nd best and most important player this season and he's not looked fit for the majority of it. Yet you still have people on here jumping at any chance to play down his abilities. Odd fanbase.
who is Rashford competing with for goals? Martial, who is playing terribly, a second year player in Greenwood, a 34 year old Cavani. Rashford gets so many opportunities yet is barely a 1 in 3 scorer in the league. he should be putting up way bigger numbers with the lack of competition he faces in this team. comparing his numbers to Barca is pointless.
He would start for both Barca and PSG. Moise Kean and Braithwaite start for those two.
How can I turn this into an excuse for ole bashing? Aha! I don't need an excuse, everything is oles fault.
Hitler, Stalin, bad weather, injured players, everything!
I can now derail every thread with my obsessive anti ole agenda.....
Players want to play. It’s up to the manager to do what’s right for the team and the player. Same as Bruno. They don’t need to play meaningless matches. Oles squad management is terrible. He doesn’t trust anyone but his first 11 so never risks anyone else. And now we’re suffering from it. Players are run into the ground. How can you justify lindelof playing every game when he has a back injury? And when everyone is screaming that he doesn’t play well with maguire. The way this club is managed from top to bottom is shocking. And I can’t believe that the greatest sub in the world doesn’t understand the value of subs. It’s ridiculous. James is now seen as a key player after being on the bench the entire season. How? Because he finally came off it and was given the opportunity to play. We shoulda managed our squad better. And if rashford suffers now it’s on Ole.
Ousmane Dembélé gets in Barca's starting XI so...
Rashford put his body on the line last season, to his own detriment, (could easily argue he still hasn't recovered) and this is how we treat him? This is poor from Ole.

He barely ran against Sociedad, he came on and played a few passes here and there. Not sure why him playing in that game kept being brought up
Yeah, it's way too sensitive and he's gettng targeted. Can't embed the below unfortunately but a very worrying reaction from Rashford.

His ball control is pretty darn solid. the amount of times he pulls balls out of the air. Special talent, he is not. He is more like Nani
He is nowhere near Rooney or Mbappe level that's for sure.
If it may need surgery then it ain't 'minor.' If that was the case many more footballers would go under the knife. Are you short of memory. Didn't Pogba decide for himself to have surgery because United medical staff said he's ok to play? But Pogba just got it resolved and make a full recovery
If this is the case, we need to give him time off to recuperate. Just because we've got no cover, doesn't mean we can't allow players to be injured.
Same in Germany. And going by frequent rumours linking him to PSG or Barca, we are not quite alone in that assessment.
Considering I'm in Singapore, plenty enough.
Bruno, Rashford and sometimes Shaw and Pogba are our only players they rate.
Everyone else needs to be improved on.
No no no, @Schmeichel's Cartwheel has spoken for everybody outside of the uk, Who are you, somebody ACTUALLY outside the uk to disagree?
If this is true, after how Ole has treated injuries to Pogba, Maguire, Pogba getting Covid, Rashford's back, Lindelof's back etc...
I'm really starting to hate his management. I didn't like it before, but now I'm starting to really fecking hate it.

Forcing him/himself with an injury into Euros. Just what United and England need
I have felt for a while he is playing with injury. And ideally we would give him a few weeks off. But clearly we can’t afford this as we don’t have any replacement. But that’s not even my main issue here. Usually if someone needs treatment then they are out and get that treatment.
With him I feel we wouldn’t benefit at all as he would rest, not play for us, but will then go on to play almost every single minute for England. So what benefit would United get in such a case by resting him?
The best solution now (based on the limited info we have about his condition) would be to give him the occasional rest, let him play the Euros and afford him the treatment and rest afterwards.

So he made an operation on his own?
WTF?
likely means bringing him back when not recovered
Poor squad management as always.
Both Pogba and Ole admitted he threw Pogba straight into the starting lineup instead of letting him recuperate. And we all saw the effects of that, and how poor our midfield was at the start of the season, not to mention the absolute shit Pogba got for playing poorly in that period.
There's just no protection for the players. Look at the shit Rashford's getting right now, and he's apparently suffering with a bad shoulder which by all accounts is excruciating. If he plays poorly no protection, no being subbed. Same with Lindelof who has been complaining about his back to Swedish media.
And of course we can't forget how we lost Pogba for half of last season, when Ole brought him straight from injury to play 90 minutes vs Tranmere(??) or some other shite team. Remember him bringing Lingard on not fully fit vs Liverpool which backfired and we had to take Lingard off with Rashford having to walk around up front injured with no subs. Or him playing Maguire through injury unnecessarily vs a Championship team.
There are just so many instances of Ole taking unnecessary risks with the players' health that have been forgotten or ignored, but he still doesn't learn with each incident.
It’s infuriating, and he is in top 5 players by most minutes played in PL this season. As are 4 other United players. The squad will be ran into the ground by May. While VDB or Diallo will struggle for minutes.
What do your comments have to do with this thread at all? Go troll and criticise in his player thread if that's all you want to do.
Definitely will be his decision to play, it's obviously something they don't expect to get worse and want to manage it through the season so he can also play in the Euros.
Unfortunately for Rashford we don't have any options to rest him much.

Playing through an injury...if only Phil Jones was of a similar mindset.
If Henry Winter told me it's pasta I'd check under the sauce, it's pretty clear he's known as a "friendly" journo with the England players.

This 100% FFS! This is what happened last season when he did his back in when playing constantly because our genius board/manager decided to go into a new season with just three strikers (one of them an 18 year old). He did his back in when playing with an injury and was lucky not to be out for the whole season.
The arguments about how good he is etc aren't the issue here. It's a good player being run into the ground by a manager who wont drop/rest him.
He would start for any of the top teams in Spain right now easily. You could argue that these teams aren't in great shape in terms of playing staff, but that is the reality.
We've had the chance to rest him over the last month or so. There was no need for him coming on against Sociedad and he didn't need to play the whole game against West Ham in the cup.
Yes, we haven't got the best options waiting on the sidelines, but Rashford became a regular because he was given a chance in the Europa League that night against Midtjylland. We might as well give some fringe/youth players a chance in the cup games, especially when we've won the first leg away 4-0. We've seen James come in and do relatively well, why not give Amad a proper chance? We might not have a choice if the players are run into the ground.
He was the first that called out Rashford's 5/6 month back problem last season that led him to be out just before the Covid break, chances are he has good information.
