Rashford has one good thing a good shot on him but he has understandings of the game positional play and a touch like a baby elephant
I was slated for years by reds & neutrals when i said he was average at best.

He's made a career out of running fast with the ball, in a straight line, straight into defenders, and sometimes gets passed men with a lucky ricochet or 2. He shoots from ANYWHERE, and sometimes, rarely, they go in.

He had a slight purple patch where he scored a few, and his defending or tracking back is non existent, and he doesn't even hide his laziness on the pitch.

I kinda get that reds backed him, but other fans were saying he was world class.

Never saw it, never will. He's incredibly limited as a player, and has bagged a £350k a week contract.

Sums them up perfectly.
 
But on another day utd could have won. Small margins

ETH was correct, looking at this page with a graph and text, it definitely has small margins

Exactly what I've always said

Anything that requires good vision, passing, technique etc..he can't really do.

Even his shooting is mostly him blasting it as hard as possible, and sometimes it works.

He's pretty dangerous on a counter because he's quick off the mark, but your team has to be set up that way to get any joy out of him. In a team that actually plays through teams he wouldn't have the ability to do it.

He's probably a good option on the bench for a team that's winning and the opponents are going gung-ho trying to get back in the game and open at the back. Apart from that, I don't really see what he could offer any team except the rags who play hoof ball 90s footy.

I reckon if the rags had let him go a few years ago, he would probably be playing for a Sheffield United type of team because he wouldn't be cutting it at a big club and they wouldn't have sentiment for him as he's not from their academy. Or he would have followed a similar path as Lingard.
