Marcus Rashford - signed on loan (injured - out for season?)

[paul_e]

I think the  bit that bothers me most about how the press are reporting things around Rashford is how accepting they are of everything Amorim says. He's made them worse than they were under Ten Haag and yet, instead of questioning why he's forcing a formation/tactic that doesn't work with his squad they just accept that Rashford (1 goal in 3 over 8 seasons at the club) suddenly doesn't know how to play football.

I'm not saying that Rashford is perfect and did nothing wrong but Amorim has acted like a proper wanker over it, almost as if he's trying to deflect attention away from his own shortcomings.

It shows him up for what he is, an inexperienced manager, and a few sunshine years with a clever system in a less pressurised environment is no preperation for dropping himself into that decaying shitshow.

I was amazed he took that job alone, even more that he took it when he did, the idiot.

Yep, agreed, it wasn't a job for someone inexperienced who's looking to build their career but then I also have no idea who would've been a better fit because they're sucha  shitshow that no one was going to have an easy time there.

The one chance they had was to listen to Ralf Rangnick and do the required cull there and then, but they ignored him and carried on.

Brilliant stuff.

Amorim is doing all the talking and looking an absolute twat by not avoiding the subject or just being magnanimous about the subject. I love that Rashford hasn’t said a thing. We are all hoping he makes Man U and Amorim look even bigger twats by performing on the training ground and on the pitch.

[PeterWithesShin]

Since Rashford last played their league record is W3 D1 L5 F9 A16.

Their home form is like what we used to have under Lambert, and in the middle of that they jacked up the prices.

For some reason Marcus Rashford gets undue criticism more than most . I don’t like that.
The man stands for a lot of good things and think there has been some campaign to discredit him.
This Man Utd manager is doing a power play and scapegoating.

Totally agree.

Nail on the head

Of course, I don't even particularly blame him, I think it's pretty clear that ineos want to cut the wage bill and improve their PSR position so they've put pressure on him to pusha  few players out of the door. Being a dick to players to convince them to accept a wage cut to leave is needed given the mess they're in. What I find wrong is that their fans and the press don't seem to want to accept that's what's behind this so they believe that the problem is all with the players and just getting rid of a few will somehow fix them. It's the same lies they've been telling themselves for 10years at this point.

The ‘some reason’ is a mixture of racism and embarrassing the Tory government by feeding some poor kids.

I’d paid zero attention to Amorim until we signed Rashford so I wanted to see what all the fuss was about and he seems a bit of a bell. But he’s cannon fodder for the owners.

[Toronto Villa]

Emery on Marcus Rashford: "Today he trained fantastic, tomorrow again, Sunday match. We are going to enjoy each step forward. Then, in the future, is only building in the present. If we try to get the future before the present it is impossible and we are going to crash."

[PeterWithesShin]

It would be very weak of Amorim to have digs at Rashford because the owners want him to. It would also be very stupid as a club/manager to want to move a highly paid player on and then both devalue him and put potential buyers off with said digs.

[PaulWinch again]

You can tell Unai massively rates Rashford.

It's what it also says to future signings as well, if things don't go to plan they hang you out to dry.

Keep on keeping on lad.
