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.
And we wonder why the club is in a mess!
What is his PR firm saying now?
Anyone who's still backing rashford is not a utd fan, he's either a rashford fan or a fan of one of our rivals.
A player who hasn’t lived up to his hype. I had high hopes for him but he’s clearly not going reach the level that should be required at man United.
He is starting to remind me of a slightly improved version of Danny Welbeck. It’s time to part ways but I can’t see anybody taking him on his current wages.

He needs to chill and focus on his day job.
Just go away, Marcus.
Boris was right about him.
That is so ignorant and absolutely offensive.
A multi-millionaire footballer kicking a ball around for a living, who is always going to have a positive mindset around money for the rest of his life because money is now not a worry for him, is involved in helping youngsters have a positive mindset around money.
Especially when most young people going into the workforce or already working, are struggling to make ends meet on minimum wage, which is not moving in line with the cost of living. Not to mention not being able to get on the property ladder due to extortionate and unaffordable house prices.
The absolute audacity of this is shocking.
'And then if I want to spend a bit, then I'll spend a bit.'
A bit just happens to be a bit of what he earns, but essentially more than most people will earn in a lifetime.
Does he even have football as his primary interest?
Of course he does. It takes tremendous dedication to get to play for Manchester United.
But he’s a young footballer who’s never had anything but universal praise ever since he came on the scene. First for his initial promising ability and then for his charity work. With that backdrop he simply hasn’t handled the criticism of his performances well .
He hasn’t fallen out of love with the game at all. He’s just sulking because for the first time ever column inches aren’t dedicated to how much he shits rainbows
Pointed this out recently how it becomes more than philanthropy and turns into brand building for companies and got criticism for daring to criticize. But you critics, look at this, millionaire endorses NatWest alongside charitable group to teach children how to manage money. Banks. So well known for their philanthropic charity, makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Onto Rashford the player it's all become too distracting for him and he is probably being used just as a marketing asset now. Don't hate him, I'm sure he's a good lad. It's just he is now obviously utterly distracted by the circus surrounds him. Too much too soon and some of us said this years ago. I don't see how personally abusing hims gonna help. But do man utd the club need to move on? Absolutely
Now in his eighth season 59 prem goals from 201 appearances, imo not good enough for a supposedly top striker.
If he wants to go, then let him go.
If he wants to go, then let him go.
Does Rashford have any idea how close he is to doing a Welbeck?
We love the guy and have been very patient with him. However, at some point that patience is going to snap. He can't keep on being mediocre because- hopefully- we're bringing in a manager we've zero patience for player who cannot or will not bring it.
For me it's a 50/50. It wouldn't surprise me if this time next year we're seeing Rashford back at his best. ETH has come in, given him a role and he's flourishing. It also it wouldn't surprise me if this time next year Rashford is on loan at West Ham because he's still not delivering.
Do all the charity work you want. At the end of the day we're a football club who can't afford to carry underperforming players. Of course everyone hopes that Rashford turns out to be the player we think he is but we can't keep going on like this,

Yes he did well to reach wherever he is but he doesn't seem focused on his football atm. No signs of improving.
He‘s a forward
If only he could be arsed to reach the dizzy heights of mediocre.
He's been so far below mediocre for a very long time.
He should be sold, but I can't see the club waking up to the fact he's a liability and becoming increasingly unpopular with the fans.
In addition, with the exodus of senior players in a couple of months time, I don't think selling him will be a priority.
The new manager will be lumbered with Rashford and i'll be surprised if he can get a tune out of him.
Welbeck is playing much better than him now.
You said his goal return was bad for a "supposedly good striker" (which it is).
I don't watch as much of Man United as you do, does he play as a striker for you?
Have you actually read the article?
Can someone help?
Does anyone know of a Footballer that has ended up turning this around?
I'm just asking because of the amount of hate and dissapointed fingers that are being put at Rashford -
Has any previous footballers got so much dissapointment and hate put towards him and still turn it all around ?
Who exactly?
I just really want to see the Rashford that I saw before his back injury

He did before cavani came, and wasn't very good. Hence the need for Cavani
I thought he'd been playing mostly on the left for a few years now. My bad.
Yes, though maybe a personal view, I do consider him a forward/striker. He averages around 8 prem goals per season and his assist‘s aren’t great either.
He should be doing better and now think he’s reached his ceiling.
It was for a short duration but oles verdict was he and martial don't score enough 'ugly' goals.
Even a player lacking of motivation should be able to put in the effort and run. To trackback at least. His heart is just not in it anymore. Its not only his head.
fecking hell y'all still crying into this thread?
Did he use to do it?
I been thinking about it - did he use to track vack all the time?
Or was he a player that stayed in the attacking positions so he can make a run in behind on a counter attack?

Dembele is doing it right now at Barca.
Why don't you play like it's a "special feeling" then sunshine?
The club is so obsessed with social media.
Cringe on both counts, the club and the player.
Let us hope he never makes it to the 400 mark. Though we will probably see a similar post about his 1000th appearance in years to come despite his less than impressive goal tally of 83.
He's starting to remind me of Marty and Wendy bird who hide behind their many charity endeavours to make themselves beyond reproach.
Special feeling on the days he got paid every two weeks of course ! Not on the pitch that doesnt matter
He used to when he started. It all went pear shaped after he got his MBE. Even Martial used to defend. And defend much better than Rashford.
Was his MBE before or after his back injury?
