He’s become conditioned into being a lazy bastard.

Young modern footballers at big clubs are far too mollycoddled as it is, across the board, and are already out of touch with reality when they’re on £500,000 a year at 18 years old after doing absolutely nothing to merit it. Yet someone like Rashford had it taken even further. His PR team pushed him into the media with the govt/school dinners stuff, so United made him their highest earner for marketing purposes because he’d become a public figure, a household name. He never had to work hard to become the highest paid player at United, he’s not earnt it, he’s just done a few interviews about school dinners and how his Mam had two jobs. He’s become used to doing next to nowt and getting paid an eye watering amount of money for such minimal efforts and achievements, he’s got away with it for years and become conditioned into that role a person.

He doesn’t know hard work or how to do it. He’s always got a face on him for weeks on end when his managers have been in the press asking more from him. Numerous managers have taken him off in games where he’s done fuck all and he’s got a face on him walking off the pitch like he’s been the hardest working and biggest contributing player on the pitch and the manager is in the wrong.

Rashford needs a reality check.

Its amazing how many people believe the media story lines, hook line and sinker.

I quite like Rashford, he's from the same part of life than me, but fuck me he's been an embarrasement for a rags to riches story.

My reply here ties in to both of your posts there^…

BBC Breakfast were having a conversation once about the greatest footballers of all-time, and Sally Nugent said ‘I’d probably say it’s David Beckham’.

Now, Beckham to be fair to him was a much better player than Rashford and certainly much harder working. But just shows how PR can sway the ‘everyday person’ when someone becomes a household name.

I assume Silly Sally never saw Pele, Messi or Barry Conlon.

Most players are Rags to Riches, but most can handle it and realise how lucky they are
