Fell for the trap then

All the sob story won’t change the fact he’s not good enough. I’m a fan of the club and he doesn’t do well enough for it regardless of the sob stories he spins.

Shame cos he seems like a nice bloke. Just a miserable footballer

Something in me wonders if things would’ve gone different if Rashford came up under the wings of Fergie or someone similar 🤔

im a softie.

This his farewell letter?

Bro undoubtedly has ability, but just doesn’t seem hungry to improve at all.

I think its his I hope you guys (the fans) are up for it at the Etihad on Sunday and don't boo us when we're 3-0 nil down at halftime

Insane stat tbh. Need Mount to come back fr, cus Bruno looks absolutely burned up

Great player with s*** mentality

For sure. Players improve due to the quality of their teammates, their opposition, their coaching. As the club as a whole does better, he will do better.

Here's a question:
Do you think if Sir Alex wasn't so conscious of the fact he was nearing the end of his career back in 2012 (as a result thinking a bit more short term, desperate for another CL) that he would have persevered more with ensuring the likes of Pogba, Ravel Morrison made it here? Or was it just bound to go down as it did.

On Rashford as well, if PSG are willing to pay a decent fee i'd sell. But I do think he can perform a lot better than he has. Far from mortified if he stays. He's a confidence player and he needs reliable teammates that are confident and contributing too.

I think bound to be like that. SAF is stubborn. If he can force Becks out the door, + many others, I don't see him fighting hard to make Pogba, Ravel, etc work out.

also wasn't SAF the reason pogba left? we played bunch of defenders over him in CM when injuries piled up. SAF choice.

Fair point Mamba, you may well be right. But I will continue my search for a universe where Ravel Morrison is still here and the greatest football player of his generation.

for me, pogba is the most talented player ive ever seen. including Messi, Ronaldo, mbappe, etc. no other player had his skill with the physicality.

also 4 years seems harsh. im sure that will get changed to like 1Y on appeal.

Yeah he’s definitely been ran into the ground since he’s come here. Must be playing like 45-50 games on average a season and that’s not mentioning international games.

It’s just sad to see, he was world class for a few years.

The thing with all of this is, that’s all good for talk but he needs to show it on the pitch.

He is right about the media being racist, but that doesn’t mean he’s not underperforming. I hope he comes through bc I feel like he’s the most United player we have, but he shouldn’t be as inconsistent as he is at his age.

I personally think it was the Mino factor

Ferguson generally didnt have issue clearing out players at their peak to make way for youth when the time was right (Ruud, Becks, Ince, etc.)

Maybe he felt Mino would challenge his power so it was better to cut our losses with Pogba (crazy to think he was proven right a decade later)

This is also around the time that player power began to soar and with rise of social media maybe he just felt disconnected with the likes of Ravel/Lingard or he could have saw the writing on the wall with the direction the sport was headed

Mf giving us essays instead of goals

What’s the point of talking to the media when you don’t perform on the pitch? Nothing’s gonna change. Nothing you say can convince anyone that despite not scoring you’re a good kid who’s trying hard and you deserve sympathy and another year at United.

f***
