Are we allowed to talk about how shit Rashford is now?

I guess the answer to the OP then is no.

If you could all just let us know how old a United player has to be; how many appearances he has to have made; what position he has to have been played in; what manager he has to play for (I think I can guess that one myself tbh) and what radius from Manchester he’s from before we start talking honestly about his performances and progress, it would save us all a lot of time. Cheers.

Need a few names here methinks.......

I have never said Rashford is nailed on to be world class, or that he's in incredible form. But his potential is much greater than a few on here would have it, and his form isn't as bad as you're suggesting - especially in the context of a team bereft of confidence.

He scored a great goal at West Ham at a moment we needed it. It was rendered a consolation because we conceded again immediately, which is hardly his fault. Then he was the biggest threat against Valencia. He was poor against Newcastle during a match in which everyone else was appalling for 70 minutes. Overall his form isn't a worry to me. But, like many others, he could do with a new manager.

Do you think he's progressing?

If not, How much of that do you think is down to him?

I think I can answer that one Billy... Have you seen how shit Sanchez has been? And for the amount of wedge he’s on too.

Nobody is jumping on his back. There are concerns about his form and overall development and there's a conversation about it.

Everyone wants him to do well.

There's nothing better than a local lad coming through the ranks and doing well.

I don't the answer to any of those questions, but having a few home growns in the squad has got to be a good thing and just so you know, a manc or two makes it manchester united not just some brand.

He has been, though

I'm not going to say that he is worse even now.

Searching. Girl goes missing and dad tries to find her, using her online footprint. The entire film is played out on computer screens but it works, bar a couple of hokey contrivances.

Decent. No busters or on screen killins.

Who does Rashford play in it?

Especially if we can get him before the balon d’or.

Is the correct answer to the question: How do you think Rashford’s doing? on Fred.

Genuinely find it hard to tell how much he's progressing, as he's a striker who plays on the wing.

It's for that reason the manager is largely culpable. Rashford hasn't given me much cause for worry, as I said. I think he'll be ok long term.

£#%&!ing hell

love to see lukaku just given 20 minutes every few games on the wing and see how he'd do. martial is also not a winger

Can we just accept that neither of them are good enough by comparison to what we used to have.

Can't see why not

Rashford is similar to wellbeck(fast and scores some good goals but also fluffs his lines half the time)

Not saying he should be moved on just yet but I can't see him becoming top player.

Can see him at a club like Everton in 5 years
