What is amusing is how ignorant about football some of their fanbase has become. I saw their highlights last night. At one point Rashford miscontrolled the ball, ran like a headless chicken with his head down, and sliced the ball wide of goal. It was pathetic yet all the fans in the Stretford End applauded wildly as if it was a near miss. Rashford is repeatedly described as world-class, especially for his England performances against pub teams. But he is an average player. He has pace but no awareness of the rest of the field. He is 26 next month but is not as good now as he was aged 18.
The other thing that stood out for me - but wasn’t mentioned at all by his “admirers” - was the way he just slowly jogged about when he lost the ball & in particular when the rags didn’t have the ball. No hard work from him - he just likes the glory.
Our players, on the other hand, run around & press the opposition like mad when we haven’t got the ball - & win it back. Every one of them.
But that’s why we’re treble winning; record breaking CHAMPIONS.
