Nah. He's never been good.
Even in that 30 goal season, his general gameplay was still shit except that he scored a lot of goals. He did this in his last year of his contract.
You should give a fuck about his attitude because he's not a successful player either (for his wages or any big club)
2 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and a Europa League.
Modern fans see the league and champo as the be-all and end-all but those medals alone make Rashford more successful than about 80% of all the players ever to play for us. The rest either played exclusively under Fergie or Busby.
I'm not going to argue that he was a
great player, I won't even argue that he was a consistently
good player, but he wasn't as shit as has seemingly been decided. It's just revisionism. People projecting forward the hype and then blaming the player for not living up to it. Absolute bog-standard British media shite, build em up to knock em down. We don't even see how toxic and abnormal it is to treat sportspeople like that.
Oh and by the way, he was at his old primary school today giving every kid there a christmas present. Nothing to do with the club. Not a PR exercise. Planned months back because he's just a fucking good lad. All the evidence we have for his "attitude" is media speculation and some cunts on twitter trying to claim they can read his body language. Martial got the same treatment. It all came about after Jose started routinely blaming them both for all our ills.
Apparently Rashford hinted heavily in an interview earlier that he's looking for a fresh start so it's looking nailed on that he's off. I wish him all the best. He's spent 20 years at his boyhood club, has won trophies at the top level and provided fans with memories they will cherish. When it comes down to it, that's precisely what fans
should give a fuck about. But no, all modern fans give a shit about is transfers.
