Rashford Can’t Play As Striker
Mourinho once said that Rashford is not a good striker. And today he is being proven right by Ten Hag’s failed striker experiment with Rashy. Roma boss Mourinho is the most successful United former coach after Sir Alex Ferguson, though he was not liked by the old boys Neville, Ferdinand .
Rashford deserves to be on the bench with a performance like that. The man doesn’t press any defender with any intensity. He comes alive when he has the ball but if he doesn’t score, what else does he do? He does instruct others. Bro, we need more from him.
Marchus Rashford should not play as a central striker for Manchester United, says Jose Mourinho
Marcus Rashford should never be played as a central striker, he is better suited to play on the left wing, says the Special one.
Mourinho worked with the England international during his two-and-a-half years in charge at Old Trafford, during which time Rashford was a regular in the United side, playing 105 games over Mourinho’s two fulls seasons in charge.
That time Rashy appeared across the front three for United and expressed a desire to play as a central striker. but the Portuguese believed he is far more effective coming in from the left.
‘I always thought his best position is when he comes from the left to the centre, not when he’s a clear number nine,’ Mourinho said on Sky Sports.

Breaking News: Marcus Rashford can’t repeat his last season’s success
Across two games vs Wolves and Spurs, Anthony, Rashford and Bruno have performed like they didn’t have a pre season. Poor first touch, loss of possession and inaccurate shooting. They need to get on the training pitch 7am on Sunday. Most annoying is Bruno blaming others around him (so easy to see with his body language) when he messes up
Really delighted with the defeat today,
A United fan actually told SportsFila ” I am glad that Bruno and Rashford missed those early chances otherwise we would have grinded another result and then get battered by City and Liverpool away. This game should be a real kick in the teeth for our manager and players that energy, passion, aggression ALONE cant win you football matches unless you play a better brand of football. PERIOD. We are predictable, slow and dead creatively, didn’t even see any patterns of play that we saw in preseason against Arsenal and Real Madrid, maybe we cant perform under pressure when it really matters, some of the decision making today was again appalling.”
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
Bruno’s been giving us ALOT of points. But i honestly think we would get more points with a different type of player. He deserves credit for all he’s done for us, but in his role, he doesnt control the game at all, lack of physical abilities, pace, agility, strength and balance. Its more or less only the final touch that makes Bruno good.
Against high pressing teams (basically all top 10 prem teams) he struggles. What i’ve seen Gibbs White do against us last season, carry the ball through the midfield, Cunha and Nunes against us this season, Maddison and bissouma today. It really is a mess, to many of our ”best’ players not good enough.
Rashford struggles to score goals when played as striker.
Marcus Rashford says he enjoys having the freedom to mix his Manchester United roles, and admits he has found life difficult when played as a central striker.
The England forward has usually been seen coming off the left since the appointment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as United manager, with Anthony Martial usually taking the role in the middle.
Rashford’s ability to cut inside from the left and shoot with his right foot is crucial here, and provides an incisive attacking weapon for United.
Crucially, he also says it is a role he enjoys playing whenever he gets the opportunity.
A disappointing and frustrating performance from us 😤😡. Our style of play…in fact we don’t have a style of play as we look like a team that has no balance and structure. We have no midfield and attack. This style of play is awful and absolutely garbage. Bissouma and Maddison bossed us.
Ten Haag is to blame for this loss. All our technical players like Martial, Sancho who should’ve started, Pellistri, Eriksen, and Dalot etc were on the bench. I can’t deal with this as we’re in the UCL and I’m worried. Ten Hag needs to fix this up ASAP as these are his players or else he needs to leave simple as that. We move on and as ALWAYS COME ON YOU RED DEVILS❤️❤️❤️❤️

There is NO REASON for Gareth Southgate to be linked with the Manchester United job
Gareth Southgate is the only person in the Universe who can turn Manchester United into Middlesbrough within no time
The English media is trying all their best to push Southgate to united, but he is championship level manager at best
The England national team is waay better than this Manu squad, and he has had 0 success ( reaching semis ain’t success). So what exactly are people expecting if he becomes Manu boss
Absolutely no way! Why would Man U hire Southgate? That would be the worse decision in the history of the game.
ETH outwitted Klopp last weekend in one of the best and most dramatic FA cup clashes in years and I’m sorry but Southgate would not have won that game and ETH has had to deal with Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood and so on, he deserves more time

I have been saying this for weeks now. If United were under any other manager especially Southgate, they would be fighting for relegation right now. The problem at United is not Ten Hag but the players.
People keep saying that Ten Hag’s style of football at United is not attractive and no identity but there is so much that a manager can do if the players themselves are not good enough or not putting enough effort. Ten Hag’s Ajax were playing attractive football and he managed to get them to the SF of the CL.
Without him, look at Ajax now. And the media keep pushing their agenda to get Ten Hag sack and replace him with a much worse manager like Southgate. If Ten Hag is managing England right now, with the players they have, we won’t see such a passive football like we saw yesterday vs Brazil. Ask Liverpool fans, would they replace Klopp with Southgate? I rest my case.

- Man United searching for Erik ten Hag replacement
Liverpool only have themselves to blame for loss to Manchester United. Had to find a way to squeeze in the random Bruno slag off in between. Dude was dead on his feet at full time, and had to slot in to center back for the last 30 minutes.
SportsFila reflect on Manchester United’s 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals and look ahead to the semifinals where Erik ten Hag’s side will take on Coventry.
How come everybody seems to have forgotten that 2 of LFC’s goals were pure luck?
More shots, same shots on goal, higher goal expectancy. What is this narrative that Liverpool should have put this game away, if anything we should’ve put this game away! They had a good 20, 25 minute stint where they kept the ball in the second half, but did nothing with it, we deservedly won this game.

For Liverpool fans: don’t say that we lost to Manchester United because Jota Trent Alisson and jones didn’t play. We have to stop doing that every time a team loses a big game it’s very stupid because had you won, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t forget that when y’all drew 0-0 to them at home Trent Alisson and Jones started. Keep in mind how well they’ve been playing despite having lots of injuries they almost beat Manchester City’s full strength squad last week.
Also, you lose to Manchester United, 2 fringe players for them decided the game for them, Liverpool didn’t play well and a loss is a loss you have to accept it otherwise you’re a sole loser and are unwilling to take it.
It’s interesting how nothing much is said about the mistakes made by Liverpool, but all criticism is piled on Bruno; how supposedly poor he was.
Ten Hag claims United is moving in the right direction 👀 WHAT DIRECTION IS THAT?!
Every time he speaks after a dismal performance after the match I always sit there saying to myself “What on Earth are you talking about”.
The media trying so hard to get ETH sacked…..when liverpool had bad injuries with VVD out, y’all didnt have the same energy
Most fans want ETH out because of his poor tactics and substitutions. I also felt he should be braver to drop non-performing players irrespective of names, and even play academy players if he has to.
Now I’m ETH in because I realise from Rooney’s and Ole’s recent interviews that the mentality of these players are incredibly low and it’s no longer just speculation that the players can’t cope on this stage.
I can understand ETH saying positive things and coming off as “crazy” but if you have players who are weak minded and aren’t willing to fight, you can’t be tough cos they’ll cave and where does that leave you for the rest of the season?! Jason Sancho case in point. I rather come across as insane to the media but hope that I’m lifting the team enough to get a string of performances to save my job and give the fans at least something to cheer about until I can have a summer clear out.
Keane is a freaking legend but that approach with these weak players will kill them and ETH would lose the dressing room.
This man keeps dropping off bombs on and off the field..A gift that keeps on giving..Most delulu man on this green earth
What a GIFT! Hand him a 15 years contract and 5 years add ons
The problem for Utd in recruiting an elite manager in the Summer is that Liverpool, Bayern and Barca will also be looking for new managers.
From the moment I heard “A new era begins. .” from ETH. I knew it was the joke of the century. He has the guts to say it while Klopp/Guardiola are competing against each other by 1 point in the Primer league he acted like he can compete with them ro
