    Rashford isnt awful at free kicks or corners. He clearly has something in his locker or at 20 years of age he wouldnt be near any of them for either Man Utd or England

    I'd keep Rashford ahead of Martial tbh. Just get Rashford the fcuk off set pieces tbh. Not only is he awful at them but its hardly helping the young lads confidence as he keeps shanking them awfully. Ashley Young should be our set piece taker.

    Martial is a much better player.

    Rashford has great effort but runs about like a headless chicken. So bad last night for instance.

    Ajax trying to get the Blind deal done within 48 hours before United go on pre season tour. Still arguing over the £17 million fee.

    I was saying if united were to move to a 4-3-2-1. Also think its the best formation for the players we have

    That will never work with the full backs currently at the club.No width whatsoever .

    We need to add to our attacking talent, not get rid or loan out

    But you said 4-3-2-1 was the best formation for the players United have,not what might happen.

    I still do. Shaw looks in great shape if we dont sign a left back. Im hoping he has a great pre season.

    How anyone can put faith in Shaw is insane to me. Have you not been watching United for the last two seasons?

    There is a reason 4321 is being spouted non stop at the mo tbh. If Jose doesn’t use it, it’s another way to criticise him..

    We need a right winger it's okay to loan out a third choice winger who will only improve from playing regularly.

    Rashford is quick and has decent skill but his decision making and finishing is not good enough for a big side.

    He needs to play regularly to improve on that which he won't do with United

    By one person.

    Is anyone apart from Bangkok talking about this as a thing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,775 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    There is still talk of Bale, though with Ronaldo gone one would think it is unlikely unless Bale pushed for it.

    Speaking of Rashford and Alli, see this idiocy they and Lingard tried when Croatia were celebrating? Worse, Lingard plays a pass to an offside Rashford too, even if the stupid movie would have been legal....

    But he is 20.

    He is improving every season.

    Jose loves his attitude.

    He is going nowhere, played over 100 games last 2 seasons. Another big season ahead for him at utd

    You have to lay the foundations early so you can get louder and louder as time passes.

    It’s a legal move if all outfield players are off the pitch celebrating.. one outfield player has to stay in the field of play, there was an instance in the group stages I think showing Portugal I think telling fonte to stay on the pitch :D

    No caus it's taking the attack of a 3 at the back formation and putting in to a 4 at the back formation.

    Completely different systems

    Honestly don't get why people are so annoyed by this and calling it stupid and cheating. Only thing I agree with was Lingard passing to Rashford offside was ridiculous. This had been something that was discussed prior to the match and tournament. Teams were aware and had been purposely ensuring not all players leave the pitch for celebrations.

    I'm not sure who took the interpretation that it was a loophole which allowed a kick-off if all outfield players leave the pitch, but a member of FIFA (reportedly) came out recently saying despite people's interpretation of if the Ref would not allow a kick-off during celebrations due to a fairness perspective.

    Still they may not have known that FIFA had apparently addressed this or decided let's try anyway and put the referee in the situation. The thing is with taking a gamble is if it comes off you're a genius, if it doesn't people think you're an idiot.

    Sure wasn't it Giggs who scored the quick free-kick against Lille back in the day when the keeper was leaning against the post preparing his wall. The players wanted to walk and UEFA opened an investigation eventually siding with us.

    The ref had asked Giggs if he wanted the whistle and he said no I'm taking a quick one, unbeknownst to the Lille team. Completely within the laws of the game at the time due to the interpretation, but not completely fair. So personally I've no problem with them attempting something in hope that the trickery will work.

    Does make you wonder if that guy on Reddit did have some sort of inside line, and maybe we were in for him and he change his mind. Again.

    There's a "new insider" on RedDevils now. Called the exact time of the Dalot announcement, called the day of Grant's arrival and confirmed the Koehler sponsorship last week too.

    Says there's a big deal nearly done too, but it's been kept quite and only a few people know bout it. To the extend if he named the player, he'd blow away his source, such is the secrecy round the deal. So now all eyes turns to that guys Reddit posts :P

    Edit. The cheeky bugger is now saying there's "more than one" deal like it too...

    Do you think rashford will be a better player next season if he plays a bit part role at united or a full season of first team football on loan?
