The Official Man Utd Thread - Part 3.

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Whereas I think he is the scapegoat for successive United managers who refuse to build a team around his speed, work rate and finishing ability.

Not sure if serious.

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

Haven't seen/heard about the game other than the score...but surely you mean opposition box?

We know m8.

You were bus watching that Dutch bum proving me right.

Again.

 

[Nollaig O Muracu]

I don't watch all United games, I watch the odd big one and MOTD most weeks. What I see is a guy out on the left, always on the half way line begging for a ball over the top or between the back 4 to run onto and score, and it never comes.

Trust me PPROCNA, if you seen as much as myself and other United fans that wouldnt not be your opinion at all.

No one is disputing his talent, the application though, is another thing altogether.

I am. I think he's the hate sink at United.
His level of frustration must be through the roof.
As I said above, a front 3 of him Zirkzee and Hojlund backed by Ugarte, Mainoo and Fernandes and they take the brakes off. Rashford hitting on the counter with a supply of ball would threaten most defences.

Ok then maybe I am wrong.

I didn't see either game tbh. Was out stuffing myself with steak and wine. Just caught the MOTD highlights of the Liverpool game, looked a cracker.

What's your view on the Dutch bum (Slot?) that you think is being proved right?

The main one I recall is that he's a Pep clone / boring pass-merchant, which imho the faaaaccccccchhhhtts and eye test don't back up.

Note, other posters, the correct Cork, Liverpool and Dutch spelling of the word.

Rashford is grand against a team playing a high line.

Against a packed defence like last night he's a total waste of space.

He's also much more comfortable running in straight lines.

When he comes in from wide positions he's not as good as many elite wide attackers at linking with the #9 (or midfield runners) and having a sense of unpredictability. More often than not he'll try to cut in and try to get a right-footed shot off from near the edge of box on the left side.

Often his pace and shot strength mean he gets decent outcomes from that, but he's a bit one-dimensional. Garnacho looks to have the tools to be a lot tougher for defenders to read.

Rashford’s raw natural ability is crazy. He’s electric when he’s on it. I think he has a higher ceiling than Garnacho but his lack of application is a killer.

Isak last night was absolutely terrific. As a centre-forward he’s only second to Haaland in the PL.

There’s not a lot between Isak and Rashford physically but Rashford’s work rate stinks in comparison.

With PSR United should look to sell him on to anyone stupid enough to pay £60m+ for.
They way he’s carried on with a succession of managers means he’s burned his bridges at Old Trafford.
