I can comment here as a fellow member of the St Marcus Bleeding Hearts: the poor guy is trying to do some good but unfortunately he plays for that rabble and his on field stuff is getting too much attention. Itās not like heās a professional footballer and his team pay his wages or anything 
Imagine if he had come through under Klopp though - heād be a beast.
I think Rashford has done brilliant stuff off the pitch, and forced action on an issue that was literally leaving children hungry. Massive, massive props to him.
On the pitch heās stagnated at Old Trafford, but thatās hardly a surprise. Itās a fucking toxic environment. He had the offer to come to Liverpool when he was a kid - imagine what Klopp could have done with him.
What I most often have issue with is people who conflate the two. Rashford needs to stop campaigning against child poverty, and concentrate more on kicking a ball around. Jesusā¦
As for being in love with him, yeah I play along with that stuff for a laugh, but thatās what I think. Huge respect for him a person, slight bafflement at how itās all gone wrong for him as a footballer, with a suspicion a lot of the blame might be down to the culture heās playing in.

The obvious thing with Rashford so far in his career is a huge lack of consistency. Itās obvious now that most people (him included) agrees heās no striker. Heās best in that left inside channel, facing the goal. So heās not a very rounded player, but someone whoās main attributes can be really decisive in the final third. Whenever he had a top season or period, when you expected him to kick on now, he has fallen in the following campaign. Impossible for us to know extra stuff from his private life and how it impacts his football.
Letās face it Anthony is shit and a scumbag.
At least Rashford is just performing shit.
And going out on the lash and phoning in sick when he has a hangoverā¦
Who hasnāt done this?
In crimes it pales into comparison to what is alleged to what Antony has done.
I mean if youāre talking about us average arseholes with normal jobs, then yeah. But weāre not, weāre talking about a professional athlete on 400k per week if rumors are to be believed. Thereās no excuse for it, and you can see it has Tenth Hag visibly rattled. Good.
Still I was making a comparison between a alleged rapist and a young guy who got drunk and phoned in sick.
I know you donāt like Rashford but there is no comparison
I think the lesson here is that United as a club seem to attract utter dickheads. Long may it continue.
And this is why the no dickheads policy is so important to what weāve been able to do it. The impact it has on the otherwise hardworking responsible players to see a dickhead rock up, do dickhead things and be allowed to get away with them is really poisonous.

Exactly. Culture is hard to change without dramatic changes, usually by clearing out the people causing the problems.
But there could be something more endemic. Reports are that United are looking at yet another Ajax player. Are you kidding me?
Henderson :0)
Note the Fans Forum video thumbnail has been chaged toā¦
Unitedās level! United escape embarrassment!
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAA
Goldbridge must have done some CEO dick-swinging and yelled at the work experience kid to change it.
Me.
Iāve never done it.
My last day of work before I went travelling, instead of calling in sick I went in.
My boss took one look at me and put me on a camp-bed in the kitchen.
Oh to be in my early-20s againā¦

TĆ“ be honest I havenāt.
But yeah Iāve done mental health days.
Also, how hard is it to turn up for training hungover.
Itās not like starting in the office at 8am sharp and having to be at the desk for 9 hours. They generally start training around 10 and it goes for 2-3 hours then they have lunch and fuck off unless they want to put in extra training in the gym or on specific things (penalties, free kicks ectā¦)
I think it speaks to more going on beneath the surface. Since Ten Hag has come in, there have been public bust-ups with Ronaldo, Sancho, and now Rashford, in addition to rumored bust-ups with Martial and Varane. The job feels too big for Tenth Hag, and itās only adding to the toxicity that has already existed at the club for a long time.

I like Rashford as a player, always have. Despite his ups and downsā¦He hasnāt done anything āwrongā per se for any fans to get up in arms over but how it looks, it could be a sign of unprofessionalismā¦something which no manager will tolerate.
Surprised he signed a new deal, doesnāt look happy at Utd at all and surely he must be able to see that?
