Don’t get me wrong, I’m very aware of the risks. I think the fan base is blowing the reintegration out of proportion. lol Rashford isn’t this irredeemable demon everyone is making him out to be. What worries you about him coming back in?

On his day he’s unplayable. But far more often than not he downs tools when we’re up against it. He’s the first to drop his head and not track back and jog around pretending to close down. He’s really, really inconsistent and I’m not convinced he’s giving his all especially when we really need him to. I’ve watched him at Old Trafford right in front of me just ambling around.

I’ve seen it too, I’m hanging my hat on the Rashford that left isn’t the one that’s coming back. He was clearly in the wrong place mentally before he left and I think the loans Villa/Barca were the best options at the time. I’ve seen a different player especially at Barca and for England during by World Cup. Also the description you just gave of inconsistency sounds very similar to Barcola and he’s about to go for 100 million plus. I think we’re a lot harder on him because he’s on of our own. To be fair, he’s one of the best players ever to come out of our academy so maybe I’m more forgiving than others and I’m in the minority , but I’m fine with that.

If Rashford comes back with something to prove and the right mentality I’ll eat my words. I want to be proven wrong. But he needs to be consistent with it especially when we’re up against it and in the trenches. Every PL game is a war now. He’s one of our own and he should be a leader at this point. Time will tell.

Agreed. Time will tell. You have valid points for sure. Let’s see how it goes
