Alright, so I went back and read your full exchange instead of where I picked it up. You’re right, you didn’t actually say anything, I just presumed due posts in other threads, so I’m sorry for that.

Alright, so I went back and read your full exchange instead of where I picked it up. You’re right, you didn’t actually say anything, I just presumed due posts in other threads, so I’m sorry for that.Martial and rashford are exactly that
Useful for a team built to counter
Useless for a team wanting to dominate possession, both players want to come inside it’s beyond predictable
Both have a place in a squad, but it’s crazy how more balanced we seemed with a youth player in Elanga playing lw then these two.
I love our Rashy.
I can't wait to see my 2-year old nephew grow up to be in awe of him as a player and person in a couple of years.

Would the OP or the mods give Marcus full recognition and add Dr to the thread title? Thanks.
After a day of bad news just want to take this opportunity to remember Rashford is a great role model at this club.
Sometimes we give him a rough time for his performances but he is a great guy and has done a lot of good.

Wait til he signs for PSG in 2 years.
There are reports that PSG are making a play for him if mbappe leaves this summer.
I suspect we are going to see the best of Rashford for the rest of the season
With Martial and Greenwood out, he better not sit on his ass thinking he's a guaranteed starter, I hope he puts the shift this time and keeps it like this
I wouldn’t be too sad If that happened.
Cherish this lad, top bloke and true role model.
I'd say in light of recent events the chance of us selling is 0%.
Not meaning to downplay his achievements off the pitch, but we can hardly make that assumption about him. Giggs was seen as the ideal role model within the footballing world for decades, only to have his reputation torn to shreds in a matter of a few years over the abhorrent allegations surrounding his personal life.
Why you gotta do this to me man, but it's a good point i also idolised Giggs. Just genuinely think Marcus is a good dude, his mother raised him well.
Giggs was just lucky social media wasn't around back then IMO. He was a known party boy but times have changed.
I don't understand this approach. Do we just assume everyone is a cnut by default? We can only go off what we've seen, which is that he's an individual who is using his platform and resources to have a genuine positive influence on the World. He's a fecking top bloke until proven otherwise
Rashford is probably secretly a serial killer.
Honestly if some bad shit comes out about him that might be the final straw for me and United. With the ownership stuff, super league stuff, giggs, and Greenwood. Plus getting older and more jaded in general.
It's all on you Marcus! No pressure.

Don’t do it. We will be good at football again at some point. Don’t get into their personalities! Most of them are immature and out of touch.
Rashfords personality is mainly a PR construct, unfortunately.
Rashford is there feeding children at his age.
Top class person better than most people in the world - including me.

It's not really the football side of things. Just hard to be as invested and connected to the club and what it's supposed to represent. Maybe I'm just being dramatic cause the niners lost too.
After recent events I came in here to post something appreciative about the lad even though I find him rather phony as a footballer and a person.
But after reading this post…
You won't like this but I have heard enough people who have actually met him saying that he's nowhere as good a guy as his PR suggests.
I guess you should just support the club and not idolize anyone....
Because you guys worship some of them so much more than they deserve(from a strictly sporting perspective there is so much better talent in Football) early on in their career they feel they can get away with anything.
More than off the field, Rashford will probably disappoint you on the field.
Giving these "one of our own" players way too much credit before they actually achieve the biggest trophies is exactly why these players have such entitlement.
One would think you are talking about a truely world class player the way you are fanboying.
Thanks for the advice buddy but you need to work on your comprehension . I don't idolize any footballer and I've been plenty critical of Rashford the footballer. The point is more a personal one about my connection and relationship to Manchester united the football club. How that has changed as circumstances and my own view point on sports as a whole and football in particular has changed.
Yup - Considering he's been a thorn in the side of many a political party (well one mostly), I suspect if there was sleaze on him, they would've dug it up
He needs to work harder and improve his decision making. He has the makings of a very good forward but he isn't there right now - way too inconsistent and lazy for some reason. Hopefully he improves his form (there have been signs in the past few games) and maintains it.
I understand in the sense by between being in awe of footballers and considering them as cnuts by default, there may be a middle ground where we could avoid being too attached to them. I think for younger fans, they need to be educated not to idolize the football players, to just consider them for what they are, players and that's it.
Idolising people who are known primarily for their ability to play a sport really well just boggles my mind. Its just a sad reflection of our society that the most well, known, influential and adored people are those who are not known for their humanitarian work or anything related to the betterment of humanity but for doing something that is ultimately meaningless to the average person all whilst making more money than the average person could dream of.
We don't appreciate scientists, doctors and climate researchers who get paid less a year than footballers get in a week. Oh no, lets idolise someone who kicks a football or prances around on tiktok doing stupid dances.
That being said, if it ever came out that Mata wasn't the second coming of Jesus I don't know what I would do. Lovely guy.

Obvious really. Naive to think otherwise...Probably only feeding all them kids just to fatten them up before he eats them
Related or not, the timing of this post from Rashford is absolutely insane and of course everyone is making the connection and seeing it as a dig
My initial thought is he's happy to welcome Jesse back
Yes I was surprised to not see Jesse in those pics.
Exactly what I thought as well. Strange, as usually his social media game is on point.
Weird time to post something that can be interpreted in ways connecting to current events that will affect this club big time. We really do have a dumb bunch.
Many do seem to be thick as shit.
Clear shots fired. Not a wise decision given the size and reach of his platform, but can't blame Rashford for being angry at him.
What will it achieve other than bringing more negativity to the club? He’s a colleague so phone him, mail him or go and see him face to face and tell him how you feel.
Maybe this is part of it. Really makes you see the contrast between the two academy players.
Comes across a bit r/imthemaincharacter
