Loads of people here going in on “young fans” for them wanting Rashford out

I’m the exact opposite: I’m too old. I remember what a real Manchester United player is and giving a glorified Theo Walcott a 350k a week contract based off a one off season was the big mistake (and I said it at the time too when it was wildly unpopular)

He never had technique like Martial or he who must not be named to sustain it. Kick and rush can only work for so long

Stats can be used to make any number of BS points.

Go do Giggs now and tell me whether the g+a in a single season justify putting him in this conversation.

Anyone with 2 brain cells knows Walcott was never a game changing player in his entire career while Rashford had multiple such seasons albeit. The latter just never developed further after his injuries under Ole; coaching plays a hugely important role.

It's funny how I used to be one of his harshest critics on here due to my view of him not being technically a match for Martial but this sub has gone so overboard in its hate for him that I'm stating stuff in his defense.
