Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

You do realise that Casemiro was on the bench tonight, as he has been the last 3 matches. So not the same at all.

Cas and Rashford were two total different examples and again it's all about examples and perception.

First of all cas was not in the same place at the same time as Rashford despite how in the knows claimed at the time.

One went to New York and surround himself by bodyguards and went to basketball game and night clubs in the middle of a season where he needed to be working to prove himself and improve himself. The other went to Orlando florida with his wife and kids on a family break.

I don't think either we're couped up in the back of an airplane but one has an awful lot to prove and never achieved anything of note but thinks he is some kind of global superstar that doesn't have to work hard to get his career back on track and the other has achieved all there is in the game and doesn't have the legs he once had but has nothing to lose by having a relaxing break with his family.

I wouldn't care if a player climbed Everest on a week off as long as he hits the ground running first day back.

Goes to show how bad it must be if he isn't getting ahead of Hojlund and Zirkzee.

Also I'm delighted he's calling poor attitudes out.

Yep, it certainly is all about perception.

Both players went to a basketball game.

I’m not seeing anything on Rashford having bodyguards or being in a night club. Can you provide a source for that? I did see a clip of an NYPD officer ensuring he got into his transport after the game, which makes sense as there were people waiting there for him.

I think the Rashford treatment by RA is being way over complicated.

You have a new manager starting, with a known preferred system. A team hugely underperforming. A known, high profile, problem player

RA simply targeted a guy and made an example of them. Publicly. “I’m the gaffer”, as if were. It’s General Management 101.

Based on the fact that he can't even make a match day squad we can safely assume he's the only one not ever putting in maximum effort. We know this based on all RA has said and his actions. Anything else is deflection and excuse making for Rashford

It's reached the point where I don't understand how anyone can defend Marcus Rashford. We've seen Hojlund and Zirkzee struggle at different points over the last 10 games to the point fans booed JZ and posters on here are calling Hojlund a dud and one of our worst ever transfers. And yet we have Marcus Rashford, who has publicly been called out multiple times by multiple managers, who's fans will tell you he can be one of the best players in Europe and should be playing week in week out no matter what, can't make a match day squad.

Does that tell you everything you need to know about Marcus Rashford? One person is responsible for his treatment and that's Marcus Rashford.

Lads it looked offside to me on the first replay, to me it's not even that close. Not sure why the hullabaloo. I thought offside straight away

It surprises me that he would say something like that with a week to go in a transfer window that you want to get him out in!

"This guy doesn't work, I'd rather name my 63yo GK coach in the team, someone please take him".

I get people will say he should need to lie… and I get that… but I also think at times you need to think what is the best mssage to put out for the good of the club.

Will be interesting to see what happens over th remainder of the season if Rashford doesn't get his move.

I would look at in even more simple terms. It's either:

Amorim has unfairly treated Rashford since he arrived, or;

Rashford has given Amorim valid reason(s) for dropping him for match day squads.

I can't see how or why Amorim would be unfair.

Any links? Tbf they have played a lot recently.
