Breaking news: Manchester United board finally decides on Marcus rashford situation at the club ,is he staying or leaving ? Situation explained .
eeding a couple of million hungry
kids only buys you so much time
when people decide you turned your
back on a half-chance against Aston
Villa. Football has a shorter memory
than ever for good things, as Marcus
Rashford discovered last week.
Praise turns to indifference, and then
resentment, and then hostility, and then
abuse, before you have time to blink.
It is not that the work Rashford did
during lockdown, pressuring a reluctant
government to extend the provision
of free meals and activities to low-income
families during school holidays, should
earn him special treatment on the pitch.
Gareth Southgate was right to leave
him out of the England squad he named
on Thursday. Rashford’s form does
not merit a place.
But to witness the opprobrium that has
been levelled at him off the pitch in recent
weeks and to see it crystallised in a jerky,
grainy, ill-lit piece of video footage taken
soon after Manchester United’s Champions
League defeat by Atletico Madrid last
Tuesday, was still an object lesson in
how swiftly even the best young players
can be thrown to the wolves.
Perhaps you have seen it. Rashford
played the last 23 minutes of United’s
dismal second-leg loss to Diego Simeone’s
side and, an hour or so after the final
whistle, emerged from the stadium
to walk the short distance to his car.
A crowd had gathered to see the players
, ask for selfies, shout insults, all the
usual stuff. Rashford was not spared the lash.
For a little while, Rashford ignored
what was being shouted at him and then
something was said that made him stop
abruptly and turn towards his tormentor
. It was obvious he was angry. It was
obvious something had been said that
upset him. He started to walk towards
whoever made the comment before
security guards persuaded him to turn away.
Some of our players don't wanna know their potentials and what they are able to do even if they're substituted. That's when they should put on all their efforts to make a difference in the pitch to gain a starting time.
ReplyDeleteMost of United's players are looking up to some of their teammates to perform some miracle that leads to a winning instead of putting a teamwork effort for a better result at all times. It's a Shame to us fans for not being privileged to celebrate our club consistently rather from time to time that doesn't even make it worth.
