It's what Rashford does off the pitch that is keeping his name in the public's conscious, but that's exactly how it's always been with the rags. The oxygen of publicity is what keeps the club going.
I have always thought Beckscum was arguably the single most overrated player in the history of English football. But his craving for publicity is what has made him a household name, not his footballing skills.
The same with Rashford, I do not see a good player in him, never have done. He is a typical rag product: over-hyped and placed on a pedestal by the tabloid press. The odd flash of talent now and again does not a good player make.

We all know what it''s like with the rags: a player comes up through the ranks and makes his Premier league debut. That night on MotD the studio is awash with gallons of semen. Lineker, Shearer, and whoever else are waxing lyrical over this 'fantastic, genius who will go on to be one of the games' biggest stars' blah blah blah...Within 18 months he's playing for whoever Steve Bruce is managing at the time. Then it's back on the merry-go-round for another rag academy player who is 'taking the world by storm'.


The rags today are a bland and vacuous product churning out money for the Glazers. They haven't been about football for as long as I can remember: as artificial as those dreadful American soaps of the 80's - all shoulder pads and lip gloss.


Fuck that for a sport.

Many United fans would agree with your summary.
Has slightly improved, but so many negatives to his game.
But let's not get to loud , we need him in the first team for another 5 years.

The problem for Rashford and so many other United players is that their talents are being wasted away by a manager that doesn't know how to develop them.

The one thing the forwards have is lightning pace. Solskaer has relied on it for their style of play. I doubt even with a top coach that those front players could be successful in a pass , move style. Most coaches have dropped the back four a bit deeper(pep has) when playing then and that nullifies the space. Two defensive, non creative midfielders in the team doesn't help creativity.
The front four do not have defensive duties, So will always be dangerous on the break. They are still light years from success under Ole, the club set up is amateurish, but i am told they have the best app in football.
