From his meteoric rise as a teenage sensation to becoming a symbol of hope during the pandemic, Rashford’s career has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows.

  1. Please watch this full video before leaving a comment. We've worked hard on this to try and represent just how complicated the Rashford story is for United fans and we've done our best to try and tell it in a balanced way from both sides. Hope you enjoy and thanks for the support as always enabling us to produce videos like this.

  2. He was a great talent and when on form a joy to watch. If you’re a long time united fan and and your heart is not a bitter one, then we can move on and remember the positives

  3. His drop-off is the worst I have ever seen at Man United. I hope he absolutely smashes it at Villa… so we can at least sell him for a decent amount afterwards. Don't put him on the pitch ever again for Man United.

  4. Mate at the end of the day I don't hate Rashford as much as some of the fan base but none of us have any idea what it's like too be hounded by the media, to the point it's actually bullying.

  5. What people don't know when he went Belfast was, his cousin past way couple weeks, then his close friend kill himself couple days, then he was getting bullying and death threats social media, this lad broken. So going out and society with friends after so much lost, or hate that's going on every day lfe, and still says he loves man utd, it's the culture and maybe some the fans, this lad could of been one best of man utd players, now hate, because of the fans, push push, then there brake, remember this. Will happen again. Why rasford reacts on social media must be because rescial abuse he had for years, just had enough, the player looks done out

  6. Blah blah blah..talk talk talk for the last 10 years… Man utd has slimped to mediocrity and coddling players with no pride for the badge.
    I see you've joined the PR bandwagon for Rashford….

  7. Yeah, his story mirrors United’s because he should have been sold seven years ago, allowing the club to bring in someone who would actually play, assist, and score goals.

  8. To come from humble beginnings and become truly famous is a weight on anyones shoulders. In ten years from now we will talk more positively about the man who humbled the govt and humbled defenders.

  9. The quality of this video Is top!! Love the way you analyze the situation.
    Personally, for me it is sad to see an academy player of his quality leave a negative mark. I agree with your last sentence, at the end of the day, he's just a human, bound to make mistakes but able to redeem himself. I hope he does.
    Thanks again for your content chief!

  10. Thank you for this! I’d still much rather have Rashford leading the line than our current strikers to be honest. He is in a different class compared to them. But football is a game of opinion.

  11. Ten Hag wasting hundreds of millions on players not even vlose to being good enough – Hojlund, Antony, Mount, Casemiro, Onana no doubt had an effect on Rashford. He knew there was no hope of challenging for PL with these players and he just completely lost his hunger to fight. He lost his will to fight also because financially he had achieved all of his financial goals too already

  12. When I ask the question of what car is the best, I ask for what? Driving off road? Then a sports car is rubbish. Racing around a track? Then a Land Rover is rubbish.
    Marcus Rashford is very fast and a brilliant player running into space, great left & right footed ball striker.
    Is he being asked to do a job that he isn’t suited for?
    Not sure he I was happy, looked miserable playing for United.
    Not sure what is going wrong, maybe the £350,000 a week had something to do with it?
    As a Scottish person I would probably start partying a bit more and buy a lot more expensive single malts.
    That kind of money would probably cause a few problems for me too.

  13. Fame and money broke him. And the people around him don't help make things better. In the end, its himself responsible for his own career. As simple as that

  14. he needs to change careers .. maybe as a Dj he would like life more , maybe open a night club and leave football .. brazilians do it all the time and its all good! some people have a too much of contrarian sarcastic personality .. some times people outgrow their jobs , be a politician man, if u have too fake a injurie a desease something and move on

  15. Damn it Sam and team, y’all did it again. As someone who feels like I’m in the minority of supporting Rashford, it’s good to see that you all took a balanced perspective on the situation. As stated, it’s complicated and messy, but he is human. He does great, and he has his obstacles that he’s dealing with. Either way, I appreciate your teams real journalistic approach to this story. 🫡

  16. Rashford has DELIBERATELY gone out of his way to cause problems at OT while clearly refusing point blank to even look like he is trying to do his job properly. Anyone who disagrees with that last point simply needs to watch his appearance for Villa at the weekend. He ran further and faster in his first two minutes on the pitch than he had in the previous TWO YEARS at OT. I supported Marcus wholeheartedly until Amorim arrived but his behaviour since then has been utterly reprehensible and there is simply no excuse for it. GET RID!

  17. Bro…it’s simple. UTD likes to promote their shiny new toys. RASHFORD and Martial came in to replace Lukaku. Then Garancho was slated to replace Rashford. ETH also overplayed Anthony to prove his price tag. Anthony and Garancho didn’t bring balance from the right. Now Luke Shaw. RASHFORD also has to take some blame. Let’s not forget that Bruno hasn’t made any player at UTD better.

  18. As Mourinho said , rashford can be a good player in some models of play . He isn't nowhere near the talent that united fans have hyped him out to be

  19. Abilities to score 30 goals ? 😂 He's done it ONCE in his WHOLE career it's more like a blip than ability 😂 everyone can go and check his stats through the years and will see! The difference is that in his early career he was hungry to make it! He was fearless going into 1v1 and i the last couple of years the only vibe he's giving to the fans is that he don't really care about the club OR football as a whole!

  20. I personally believe its not fair to put the burdens of rashfords short comings on Pogba and Lingard like some fans do.
    I do believe rashford himself has failed us and as a club weve failed him.

    Failed him in the sense that weve given him so many coaches that came with different tactics especially at a young age. Failed him because we clearly dont know who we are building our team around. We buy players and hope they work out. We as fans dont support him on media and in times when he needed tough love we babied him.

    Hes failed us because he hasnt been professional enough

  21. I mean he shot himself on the foot immediately he said he's ready for a new challenge especially now that the club is about cuts. Amorim wouldn't have touched him without that speech, all that he's not training is just bs

  22. Antony got more slack for far more than was his own fault; never see any video acknowledging the little contributions and "hope" his signing brought to the club. Sorry Sam, can't really blame you for your conclusion in this video. Rashford is a disappointment and a fraud protected from fair criticism from some of yous coz of his passport
