Sometimes young prospects just don’t make it. Rashford would be neither the first nor the last. |

And other people brought up Lukaku, not me. Check the thread. |

He gets plenty of shit on his own thread. He isn't popular. The point was merely about him at least being prolific, which he is. I don't see how Rashford scoring a consolation more recently than Lukaku is much to shout about tbh. I'd wager Lukaku will have more over the next 5, the next 10 and by the end of the season. Rashford isn't doing enough with the chances he's being given for club and country. Two absolute howlers this week for both and it'll jeopardise his place in both teams. He needs to do more. Quote:
And what if you're wrong? How would that play out? I'd imagine with the kind of form and finishing we're seeing at the moment. |

If Rashford must be written off as a failure, and that is premature however badly he's playing at the moment, it needn't be the end of United as a producer rather than importer of talent. What he is is a good player who's struggling. The manager hasn't handled him well and no statistic about game time will change that.
We are in trouble at every level but Rashford is a bit of a canary in a coal mine in that sense. |

Every single one of us would love to have a successful United jam packed with homegrown local kids, but the emphasis has to be on the success bit, not the local bit. The moment we lower our standards to accomodate category over performance we are truly £#%&!ed, because not only will we be shit we’ll be deluded and confused too. I think we can all agree that no one loved the idea of home growns as much as Fergie, but is anyone really doubting that if he’d had better quality players available, who gave us a better chance to win, that ‘the class of 92’ wouldn’t even be a thing today? He was all about giving chances, that’s it. What they did with that chance was then up to them; the way it should be. SAF was all about equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome, and I think that’s spot on. |

A better way to think of it would be to ask whose turn to get promotion to the first team Rashford is taking by performing this poorly, and could they be doing better? If it turns out we’re holding a bad hand too long, which prospect are we going to lose to another club because they didn’t get a chance? |

Several high profile players have come to us on the back of excellent performances with other clubs, have been mediocre or even useless and then moved on and regained their form. Andy Cole came to us as a prolific goal scorer for Newcastle (and Bristol before ?) and was pretty average for his first season, but we persevered with him and the rest is as they say history. So is the problem us or the player ? |
