One for Slime or any of the UTD fans.
Do you actually rate Rashford as a player?
Obviously he’s a good person,but personally i don’t rate him & think UTD Will keep him no matter what because he’s good for the image.
I’m an Old Trafford regular and I’m afraid my answer has to be that Rashford is massively overrated.
I disagree that his best role is through the middle primarily because his finishing is nowhere near good enough. I’ve probably said so here that, whilst he is capable of the extraordinary, all too often he makes an utter hash of the ordinary. For my money Martial is an infinitely better finisher but his attitude is appalling.
My other beef with Rashford is his wastefulness in possession. Far too often he’ll run into trouble - disappearing down a blind alley of two or three opposing defenders and ending up on his backside rather than taking another option. It’s infuriating to watch. I accept he has been carrying an injury, but no injury impacts on decision making to the extent that the wrong ones are made too often.
I am aware of what the Opta stats tell us, but they don’t tell the full story. He’s nowhere near warranting the tag world class, and was exceptionally lucky to be in the Euro 2020 squad. I hear some ludicrous sums of money being mentioned when transfer fees are being discussed and would gladly see United sell Rashford if the price was right.
Just my opinion as a frustrated United fan.
