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.
Various comments today, from A number of people.
Paul Parker saying United would have to sell him very cheap because he has been so bad.
Former player on Talk Sport reckons he no longer has any interest in playing football anymore.
And many more.
I’m not disagreeing. If you read my post I even mentioned that Pogba’s was probably mostly about United being rubbish and the burglary. Although with the latter we don’t know how that can effect even the most confident of people. I agree it is becoming a trend amongst younger people where “mental health” is just a loose term that’s thrown about to answer every issue.
BUT we don’t know if at least one player really does end up feeling suicidal because 1) that’s just the way they are wired and 2) it gets exasperated by the online abuse and scrutiny they face.
That’s my only point about accountability both for journalists and fans. These are real people who we don’t know. I say the same thing about “glorifying” footballers on a personal level also, I tell people you don’t what that guy is like as a person he could be an utter feck.
I posted about this last month. The worst part was the copy his team sent with the announcement:
'Journalists from national print and broadcast media' aren't just giving out free promo, arranged in advance no less, without getting something in return.
This excuse that he is out of form should be put in the dustbin. He simply is arsed enough to even try for his team. That's the problem. Out of form means you try hard and do the simple things to get back into form. I have never heard of anyone being out of form and not making an attempt in any other club and still getting to play regularly. It only happens at United and never under SAF. Never. SAF would have already given him the hair dryer treatment both in private and public.
Does anyone still remember the one he gave to Johnny Evans? For only making a mistake.

I mean, publishing children's books while you're still supposed to be a dedicated professional footballer 
It's almost like he's purposely wumming the fanbase.

He can do whatever he wants. Its just the timing of things that pisses me off.I mean, publishing children's books while you're still supposed to be a dedicated professional footballer

That's the problem, he can. And professional football is evidently not what he wants to do.
Under SAF, he wouldn't have got the massive contract so early in his career.
How much time do you think he actually spent on it?I mean, publishing children's books while you're still supposed to be a dedicated professional footballer

Professional athletes have plenty of spare time. Having constructive outside interests is better than just sitting around playing video games, or (like they did 20-30 years ago) going down the pub and getting smashed at least once a week.
The only issue is if the outside stuff starts taking too much attention and the football suffers. Which yes, may be a problem in Rashford's case. But writing some books in itself isn't an issue.
Neck like a jockey's bollocks.
It's beyond depressing looking back on my conversations with friends about the young United and England front 3 of Greenwood, Sancho and Rashford.
I personally hope he stays and the new manager gets a shot to work him. I may be naïve, but I am not giving up yet.

Of course! A new type of book now!
I think at this stage we can say this has gone well beyond Marcus Rashford the individual. This is a group of vested interests a bit like a company, and they are chomping at the bit to milk Marcus for every penny they can possibly get for him. I bet they just look at him and see £££ signs. I feel sorry for him, but it's by the bye regarding Utd, it's meant to be a football club after all.
Think we should refer to him now on as Marcus Rashford Ltd
His name is more pronounced on the book than the actual titles, just pure spin from his PR team. Loads a money!!
Well you still got Sancho.
For his own sake, he should join another club that can take him out of the limelight. That will probably force him to start being a footballer again.
Do you think that Marcus Rashford would be as popular as he is now if he plays for Everton instead of Manchester United?
I'm struggling to understand how he's become so popular even at United. The lad has won feck all
I wish fans would just accept how limited he is, he's basically a runner.
He doesn't even do much of that anymore. I'd actually be patient and willing to give him time to overcome this horrific form of his if he actually busted a gut in games, tracked back and generally looked bothered.
Feeds kids.
I see him happy everywhere but in games. He is always smiling and happy in training, vacation, social media, events then you see him on match day whether on the pitch or on the bench and he looks a right miserable sod. Why is that ? Not trying to break a smile even for the cameras. I don’t have a clue. He was never like this. When did it all change?
That’s quite obviously the issue here and hence why it’s being brought up. I wouldn’t give a toss if he was banging goals in every week.
I mean, not wrong this really is it? Remember stories from our more successful periods about how training could be tougher than match days. Iron sharpens iron etc.
No and that may just save his career once he’s not so popular and gets his focus back to football.
So does Ronald McDonald but no-one is writing articles on a weekly basis about how he should be Utds main man.
any consensus on how good he was around November 2019-January 2020? around the Spurs game I thought this guy had Ronaldo 07 type potential, a 25 goal a season wide forward. Doesn't look like it'll happen now
I'm still convinced that Marcus has not fully recovered, physically and mentally, from his injuries. It may me that he's 100% physically fit now, though he doesn't look it, but something seems to have scarred him mentally from playing through that much pain. But a lot of that blame falls on himself for pushing himself into the England side last summer rather than accepting the surgery he needed in the spring and then recovering in the summer.
However, I'm not sure he'll ever regain his previous form again.

SAF would have spotted this would have happened much much earlier. Dude probably be Burnley's headache now.
Exactly.
quality reply in that tweet
Most worrying thing about that tweet for me is he needs a co author to help him write a children's book.
Most celebrities use ghost writers anyways. Rashford maybe needed more than that and needed a co author.
The guy makes some good points and some OTT. He also tweeted about how Casemiro cut short his vacation and rushed back to Real Madrid after they lost 3-7 to Atletico.
He's an absolute scumbag. Some of the stuff he's come out with has been outrageous. I have him blocked on twitter.

I dont follow the guy. So I don't know what all he tweets. I have just read a few of them, mostly that were posted here.
He also seems to think Rashford himself is tweeting which makes me suspect.

Well neither do I now either. I wasn't following him but had to block him as he kept popping up on my timeline with his horrific takes.
The fact the people on here follow this bellend is worrying and now they're re-posting his shite here too
