Hes never been a proflic goalscorer his best 2 goal scoring seasons he has 17 league goals he only gets into double firgures twice more with 10 and 11 goals.
Hey, he scored 30 goals in a season once!!!
His scoring is probably the most marked area of his failure to develop. He has never really added anything else to his basic move - touch right with the outside of his right boot, drive diagonally toward the box, and shoot. It was never as good as Coutinhoās version of it, and he is more of a one-trick pony with it. A better run club and/or one with solid veteran leadership could have used that as a foundation, just never happened. Obviously, he has to bear some responsibility for that too, but giving him that monster contract at that age and then no coaching support got him most of the way toward stagnation.

Not league goals i donāt count stat padding in EFL cup as goals
Not that I agree nor disagree, Iām just adding what the common defence of him is.
Rashfordās numbers are/were pretty good in my opinion, considering the position heās mostly played, the fact that he came through as a young player and the general unsucessful period for United during almost the entirity of that time. Okay, as it turned out, he became a key player and key players highly influence a team that is successful or not. But thereās been a lack of consistency, more than anything. Perhaps also not adding more layers to his game. Heās a very dangerous offensive player when in form, though not the most rounded in terms of skills. Iām not sure if he ever managed to put two top seasons together. Or sometimes keep it up for one entire season.

I think Man Utd is very toxic anyhow and I donāt think the new manager has done much to help that.
Letās see what happens with him out of that. He may continue being shit or he may find some form.

Nothing to see here. Just plain ol costcutting.
Also. Countdown for United fans to be overjoyed when Ratcliffe does sell his stakeā¦back to the Glazers

The Glazers will end up selling the whole lot, including Sir Jimās stake, to someone in the Middle East. Sheikh Jassim was very close, but Sir Jim was a useful idiot for the Glazerās. They are very greedy indeed, and will want a new owner to build a stadium, clear the debts, and give them north of 6 Billion for their trouble, arguably much more. I think thatās the end game. I just canāt see how Sir Jim factors into it, in terms of whole ownership.
Probably a positive that he gets that infrastructure deal.
Heās probably there to take the stick from the fans and get a move on in terms of government clearances/funding etc for the stadium.
Thereās absolutely no way that the UK government should countenance spending money for a stadium for a club when theyāve given another club in the same city a stadium. But Ratcliffe didnāt get to where he is without knowing the persons in power.

If I was a Utd fan my blood would be running cold at the Ineos comments in response to this. They signed a contract. They had a legal commitment to pay the NZRU and as soon as they found themselves in a less strong financial position tried to reneg on the deal they freely made. They are now crticizing the NZRU for not working to come to a āmanaged settlement.ā Bitch, the only offer Iāll accept is the amount you agreed to pay us.

Iām wondering how many fucking people they have on the books to be able to keep punting them on this scale and still keep the lights on.
Also, even if the people he is cutting are valued at 70k each (inclusive of on-costs), heās hardly putting a dent in Ā£300m.
