Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[Ray K]

Rashford may be overrated as shit on the field, but he is an excellent human being.

He's a top, top bloke and hugely admirable, but I also think that he's a really good player. He'd make a great backup to our 3 strikers. And he's only 22, so you know Jurgen would really improve his game.

[thejbs]

Brilliant stuff from Rashford. Using his position of relative influence to help out the communities like the one he came from.

[tubby]

Credit to Rashford, he doesn't have to do anything but he's making this stuff public and raising funds/awareness

Always thought he was a bit of a twat being Lingard's sidekick but that's a great letter. Fair play to him.

[Qston]

Well said Marcus Rashford

[Lush is the best medicine...]

BBC saying they have upped their big for Grealish to £75m.

Please make it 90 and let it happen.

if that happens then no sancho for this summer

[ScouserAtHeart]

Hahaha, oh God please.

Yep. Well in Marcus Rashford.

RAWK's blindspot for Rashford's ability is one of the 8 wonders of the world.

In what sense, it is perfectly feasible for somebody to be good and still also be very overrated?

[Fiasco]

Fair fucking play Marcus Rashford.

[Gerry Attrick]

Fair fucking play Marcus Rashford.

If there is any kind of SPOTY this year he is a 1/50 shot.

Not just with him, happens with a load of players, it’s pretty funny.

Whereas Rashford being in that top 10 list the other day was funny (but the list as a whole is bizarre), he is clearly a very good player, and one of the few Man Utd should be building around.
 

[Zeppelin]

He's a good lad isn't he. It's great to see a young player so articulate and committed to a cause - shame he's a Manc of course, but we can't all be perfect.

[FlashGordon]

Well in to him.

[MH41]

I see, according to the BBC Sport site, that Sheffield United are hopeful of Dean Henderson's loan being extended until the end of the season.
It's a strange situation, particularly as Sheffield United are a rival to Man Utds attempt to qualify for a European competition.
 I'm surprised that it has still not been sorted yet either, with the League starting again on Wednesday.
If Utd pull the plug, all of a sudden, Sheff Utd would be left without their first choice keeper from July until the end of the season.
However, I do get the impression, that Man Utd are happy enough for him to remain there next season, so will probably agree to it.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

They really are a massive gang of c*nts.


On Monday, in response to the footballer's letter, the government confirmed that its voucher scheme in England would "not run during the summer holidays".

I thought that ManU had already agreed he could stay.

Fair play Marcus Rashford,great stuff.

[CornerFlag]

Can't knock that at all from Rashford.  Good to see he's remembering his roots and campaigning for it in a way that everyone can get behind.  A shame that the letter is sent to a compassionless cockwomble like Johnson.

[sinnermichael]

I'm sure their fans will be back to singing about poverty in Liverpool soon, without an ounce of self awareness of what Marcus Rashford has been campaigning for.

[PaulF]

Is that awesome Marcus Rashford behaviour a new way issuing a come get me plea to Klopp?

[rob1966]

I'm sure their fans will be back to singing about poverty in Liverpool soon, without an ounce of self awareness of what Marcus Rashford has been campaigning for.

Meanwhile the foodbank less than a mile from the ground gave out 3188 food parcels in 2019 and child poverty in Old Trafford runs at 49%

They're thick as fuck some of their lot.

[Jookie]

RAWK's blindspot for Rashford's ability is one of the 8 wonders of the world.

I wouldn't go this far but he's definitely under rated by parts of this forum. I think maybe because from an early age he was touted as being better than he was. After a really good breakthrough year his next 2 season were OK to good. Nothing great.

I think the last 2 seasons he's made massive strides in his overall game but more so in his output. Since the start of the 2018/19 season he's got 47 goal contributions (32 goals and 15 assists) in 63 starts and 11 sub appearances. This is for a player who is still only 22 and not playing for one best teams in the league currently.

I don't think he's close to the level of our front 3 but in terms of output, as measured by assist and goals per start, he's similar to Mane over the same time period. Mane has scored and assisted more over a larger number of games  - 44 goals and 17 assists in 83 starts. In terms of minutes per goal contribution (goal or assist), Mane and Rashford are almost identical since the start of 2018/19.

Like I said I don't think he's a World Class player or even Top 5 in terms of attacking players in the Premier League. However, he's much better than some people give him credit for and a well better player than the likes of Martial, who conversely seems to be viewed as a really good player/talent by some.

He's got quite a few penalties in there too, doesn't he?

[Gifted Right Foot]

Brilliant from Rashford.  Seems genuine about it too which makes it even better. 

I'm sure their fans will be back to singing about poverty in Liverpool soon, without an ounce of self awareness of what Marcus Rashford has been campaigning for.

Also this.  I will never understand fans singing about this. 

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Good stuff from Rashford.

Doing an amazing thing there. Really well done.

Please @ his letter to your local MP on twitter, especially if you live in a Tory constituency.

The labour party should be getting behind it but Sir Keir is too afraid off pissing off the Sun/Daily Mail.

[Jookie]

Think he's got 7 penalties in that time, so about 20% of his goals.

Non penalty goal contributions he's 40 (25 goals and 15 assists) in 63 starts since the start of 2018/19. Reckon that would put him somewhere around 10th-12th in the Premier League in that period, if you strip out penalty goals for everyone.

Outside our's and City's players, I reckon Aubameyang probably has the most goal contributions over the same time period. Kane, Son and Vardy would probably all be ahead of Rashford as well. Can't be bothered looking into the exact figures but as a guess I reckon those 4 plus our front 3, Sterling Aguero, Mahrez and Jesus would probably be ahead of Rashford in terms of non-penalty goal contributions. De Bruyne probably would be also if he played more in 2018/19.

I would guess Rashford at 22, alongside Gabriel Jesus, would be the youngest out of the Top 10 or so players. He's a promising young player and defo not as average as some people have suggested.

Ha ha

The Corbinista still hitting that nail on the head.

[OOS]

RAWK's blindspot for Rashford's ability is one of the 8 wonders of the world.

This forum has a tendency to not rate players from rival English teams. Ronaldo would be banging in hat tricks every weekend in Spain, and people would still find a way to talk him down because of his United past. Also 'kick and rush' Bale would flop at Madrid, four Champion Leagues later...

Rashford on the left, is a world class player in the making. However the lad is still convinced he is proper number 9, which wastes his talents.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

The last few pages of the RAWK Meltdown thread are absolutely hilarious

Tiny tears of frustration and angst on every page

Just to echo other's sentiments, Rashford is a top fella. Well in.

[Crosby Nick]

He is. Well done him for showing up the hypocrisy of the likes of Hancock telling footballers to do more. And hopefully it will make their fans think twice too (but we all know it won’t).
