Mancs love him and he's definitely one of the best in the league on his day, but he's one that I've never feared playing against us. Remarkable contrast to the Mancs from not too long ago and a sure sign of how far they've fallen.

The telegraph really on the anti United train this weekend with the opinion pieces.

Well can't really criticize Rashford this season. So much energy, tracks back, too much of a team player. I think he would've been better if he became a bit more egotistical and didn't only focus on what is good for the team.

As a United supporter who watches him week in week out it's really weird seeing so many people who think he's consistently good. There's a not-insignificant amount of United supporters who don't really rate him that highly

There's a reason there's a big thread on RedCafe called We will never win the league with Bruno Fernandes in the team

It was regularly bumped last season because he's not been anywhere as good as a lot of you seem to think he's been. He's been shockingly bad this season

I’m sorry but how can you say he’s not one of our best players? His biggest problem is that Ten Hag is convinced that he can play on the right wing instead of through the middle. I also think that it’s possible Ten Hag puts Bruno on the right because Bruno is always looking to play a progressive or optimistic pass, and those don’t have the best success rate. Ten Hag wants to play a possession dominant style, and while we’re no where near that right now, I think he believes that having Bruno out wide means he will get the ball in more dangerous areas, and he won’t be giving away possession in the middle of the pitch. It’s really the only reason I can see for his continued push out wide, when he’s so very obviously more effective through the middle.

I never once said he isn't one of our best players

There’s no arguing he’s one of Man Utd’s best players, but this is a Man Utd side deemed to be underperforming.

His first full season he recorded amazing numbers. We’ve not seen him get back to that, however.

On the ball and technically he’s very strong, but I don’t think he’s quite dynamic enough as an athlete to be the fulcrum piece for a premier league winning team.

When I watch him in elite level games that turn physical I think he struggles.
