He was released by very good passes whenever he was actually beyond him. Then as you say, £#%&!ed it up. Whenever he's up against defenders 1 on 1, the vast majority of the time he loses the ball either running into a dead end or giving it away cheaply. |

I think his problems stem from the fact that he's mentally very fragile.
He's obviously got some kind of off-field issues going on which have absolutely wrecked his head. When you have to do interviews telling everyone how hard you've had it and how committed and resilient you are - that's a red flag. He's not a top player and never will be. You can't train someone to have that bit of arrogance or confidence to size up a defender when they've got the ball and know they're going to just ruin them. Ronaldo had it, Messi had it, players like Haaland and Salah have it. He just hasn't got it in him. That couple of moments when he could have got in behind city yesterday were perfect examples. The first he nods the ball down straight into the floor instead of infront of himself and kills all the momentum. The second is arguably worse because it wasn't mis-control, he just didn't have the belief in himself that he could get to the ball ahead of Walker and do anything with it. He chose the easy way out by falling over. If he weren't a home grown player and hadn't built up this off field image of a local lad with a heart of gold then he'd have been sold already. |

Composure is one thing, basic technique is quite another.
What on earth can justify the fundamental failure to nod a ball into 20 yards of space & then get a shot off? I'd criticise him for not scoring but at least he did the basics. That header was a war crime. The air-shot just as bad, looking to take the graphics off the ball when it just needs to be slotted. We saw Big Rassers have similar issues early in the season, then he settled & found his composure - he never failed to nod a bouncing ball into space or battle for a ball when against the last defender though. I have no idea what is going on in Rashford's head, but he's basically a poor footballer with a lack of aggression. If there was any possibility of PSG pumping a fortune for him after Mbappe leaves we should bite their hands off. |

Attitude wise I do think he's been corrupted by the rotten culture under the Glazers, but....
I also think there is something going on between him and Ten Hag. I do think Ten Hag has overworked and overtrained many of the players to the point of exhaustion, but... I also wouldn't be surprised if Rashford wants him out the door. He's been part of a squad that's downed tools on the last three managers. Finally, I think people expect too much from Rashford. Though I think he's better; on paper.... He's a lesser Raheem Sterling. Think about that. Avram & Joel Glazer have run this club so much into the ground that United's best player stats wise is a lesser Raheem Sterling. |

You do get the impression that Sancho is sort of lurking in the shadows, waiting for a manager change. I don't think the way De Gea was dumped earned Ten Hag any popularity either...all speculation of course...who knows what's going on behind the scenes. |
