Q & A

  • Why was Marcus Rashford not included in Manchester United's squad for the Newport match?

    -United claimed Rashford was left out of the traveling squad due to illness, but this followed reports that Rashford had been out at nightclubs in Belfast earlier that week before saying he was too ill to attend training on Friday.

  • How did Erik ten Hag respond when asked about Rashford's absence?

    -Ten Hag stuck to the line that Rashford had reported ill, calling it an internal matter and saying he would deal with it internally.

  • What is the perception around Rashford's behavior and how does it impact Ten Hag?

    -There is a perception that Rashford has shown questionable behavior before, like going out before matches. This makes it harder for Ten Hag as he tries to manage a struggling team and change the culture at the club.

  • How have other players like Donny van de Beek struggled since joining Manchester United?

    -Other big signings like Van de Beek have failed to excel at Manchester United after arriving with a lot of fanfare. This points to wider issues at the club beyond just Rashford's behavior.

    -Some feel a problematic 'entitled' culture has developed among players at Manchester United, where they bend rules and lack accountability.

  • How could Ten Hag have better handled questions about Rashford's absence?

    -Instead of calling it an internal matter, Ten Hag could have simply cited illness to give himself breathing room without fueling speculation.

  • Does Rashford get more leniency because of his performances?

    -In the past Rashford got more leniency for bending rules because he was performing well, but his form has dipped which changes the calculus.

  • Why might Rashford's brother/agent have been called into Carrington?

    -With Rashford's unexplained illness and night out, the club may have asked his brother/agent to address additional concerns over his behavior and commitment.

  • How has fan perception of Rashford changed over time?

    -Rashford used to be widely praised by fans but there is now growing frustration over his inconsistent performances and off-field issues.

  • What long-term changes need to happen at Manchester United?

Mindmap

Keywords

💡illness

The term 'illness' refers to Marcus Rashford's reported sickness which was the official reason given by Manchester United for his absence from the team traveling to Newport. This is a key concept because later information suggests Rashford may not actually have been ill, bringing into question the team's accountability.

💡nightclub

Rashford was reported to have attended a nightclub in Belfast before missing training due to illness. This suggests potential irresponsible behavior and is a key detail related to scrutiny over his absence.

💡internal matter

Manager Erik ten Hag repeatedly states that Rashford's situation is an 'internal matter' when questioned by the media. This phrase is key because it avoids transparency and accountability to the public.

💡preparation

The video analyzes whether Rashford's actions show adequate 'preparation' for matches. His nightclub attendance calls into question his commitment to readying himself physically and mentally.

💡perception

The speakers emphasize that 'perception is reality' - the public views Rashford's behavior as unprofessional regardless of excuses made internally. This matters more than the club's version of events.

💡discipline

Much of the discussion focuses on the need for managers to 'discipline' players who break rules or lack commitment. There are differing views on how ten Hag is instilling discipline in this case.

💡culture

Speakers allege that Manchester United has developed an entitled 'culture' amongst players who are not held accountable. Resolving this culture is key to the club's future success.

💡consistency

Rashford's 'consistency' is questioned - his good seasons have been followed by mediocre ones, indicating he may not have the mentality of a top-class player week in and week out.

💡scrutiny

As a Manchester United player, 'scrutiny' over Rashford's off-field behavior is unavoidable. The club's global profile and recent struggles make this situation gain more scrutiny in the media.

💡accountability

A core discussion point is Rashford's 'accountability' to the team regarding his commitment, performance and behavior. Many fans feel the expectations on players have not been made clear by the club.

Highlights

Rashford went out in Belfast earlier in the week before saying he was too ill to attend training

Rashford attended Thompson's Garage nightclub on Thursday night before returning to Manchester on a private flight Friday morning

Ten Hag stuck to saying it's an internal matter when asked about Rashford missing the match

As a manager, when a player takes advantage it is incredibly irritating

Big John Karu broke the rules once so I fined him 2 weeks wages but still played him because I knew he'd be ready

Rashford has some previous incidents so this latest one doesn't help

Ten Hag wants to use the media as a management tool to bring players into line

Rashford is a good player but not world class - top players perform consistently

Ten Hag should have just said Rashford is ill to avoid giving the media a thread to pull on

Rashford's brother and agent are also now at Carrington

Fans feel no player is bigger than the club - get rid of dead weight

There may be a problem in the United squad and dressing room

Previous managers allowed a culture to creep in where players don't grasp the gravity of playing for Man United

Van de Beek and Hannibal haven't worked out on loan showing they weren't good enough for Man United

Rashford used to do no wrong in fans' eyes but now there is frustration over his behavior

Transcripts

play00:00

because Marcus rashford was not included

play00:02

in United's traveling Squad uh when it

play00:04

came to the trip to Newport yesterday

play00:06

United claimed that that decision was

play00:08

due to illness but it followed newspaper

play00:10

reports that rashford went out in

play00:12

Belfast earlier on in the week um before

play00:16

saying that he himself was too ill to

play00:18

attend United's training session on

play00:21

Friday United were informed that that

play00:23

rashford was out in Belfast on Wednesday

play00:25

night where he apparently attended a

play00:27

nightclub but the following evening um

play00:31

it turns out that rashford attended

play00:33

Thompson's Garage nightclub they just

play00:35

made them famous again on Thursday night

play00:38

then returning to Manchester on a

play00:39

private flight the following morning but

play00:42

nonetheless the excuse that was given

play00:44

for the no show was that he was too ill

play00:47

to attend the United training session on

play00:49

Friday postmatch at Newport um as you

play00:53

might imagine ten hag was peppered with

play00:55

questions but stuck to his line he

play00:57

reported ill for the rest his internal

play00:59

meta I doal with it sorry Eric why is it

play01:02

an internal Matter's just done

play01:05

well as I said it's internal

play01:08

matter you can understand that raises

play01:10

more questions than answers

play01:13

if it face value

play01:15

he for you but not for me so it's

play01:18

internal matter I will deal with it it's

play01:21

an internal matter and ten hag will deal

play01:24

with it would you have done exactly the

play01:27

same as ten hag did yesterday Mar well

play01:29

you know sometimes you're asked asked a

play01:32

question and you think you're got the

play01:33

the right answer for it but the minute

play01:35

you say you'll deal with something means

play01:36

that there must be some issue to be

play01:38

dealt with you know beside the point I'm

play01:41

I don't want to be a Monday Morning

play01:42

Quarterback here here's the point right

play01:45

okay this is it you talk the just in

play01:49

recent time first of all perception is

play01:51

reality for a start the last thing you

play01:53

want as a manager is that you're going

play01:55

through a a tough old time you're

play01:57

managing a very very big Club results of

play01:59

not been fantastic you know you're

play02:01

fighting for your life you're fighting

play02:02

for the for the club and players in

play02:06

recent times have been asking they

play02:08

thought they'd been flogged so they

play02:09

needed a couple of days off and

play02:11

apparently he wasn't relenting finally

play02:13

he's relented so when he's thinking to

play02:15

himself well okay I've I've I've given

play02:17

the lads a couple of days off they'll be

play02:18

back in for Friday for a Sunday game and

play02:21

then suddenly there's something an issue

play02:23

comes up like this here it does your

play02:24

brain in it really does as a manager it

play02:27

does your brain in and particularly when

play02:29

you think you know rashford when you

play02:30

find out the facts and if the facts are

play02:32

that he is in a a nightclub in Belfast

play02:35

on a Thursday night it's not the best

play02:37

preparation for a game it's absolutely

play02:39

not and you just and it's one more thing

play02:41

to deal with at the end and and as I say

play02:44

get back to the point about perception

play02:45

been reality if you're a winning

play02:47

football match and you're top of the

play02:48

league you can deal with us dead dead

play02:49

easily absolutely these things happen on

play02:52

more than one occasion at football clubs

play02:54

I've had to deal with them myself man

play02:56

but at the end of it all the last thing

play02:58

you want is just this this coming up and

play03:00

rashford has a we bit of previous as

play03:02

well too so it doesn't it doesn't help

play03:04

at all have you had this when you

play03:07

managed of course I've had it you want

play03:09

to name

play03:10

names well a player that I actually

play03:13

loved was Big John Karu I love big John

play03:16

B Big John Big John used to take the he

play03:19

used to take the rules into his own hand

play03:21

and and bend them if not actually break

play03:24

them and and um but the one particular

play03:27

occasion he had broken the rule he was

play03:28

down in London when he shouldn't have

play03:30

been down and I pulled him in I got to

play03:33

know about this here vicariously believe

play03:35

it or not and I pulled John in on the

play03:37

Friday said to him John um you were out

play03:41

last night no no no no you were out last

play03:44

night John yes um yeah yeah I was out

play03:47

for a meal in Birmingham no no you

play03:48

weren't out for a meal in Birmingham you

play03:49

were out for a meal in London and it

play03:52

wasn't just a meal you were actually you

play03:53

know yeah bre anyway the long and the

play03:56

short of I said to John I'll tell you

play03:57

what I'm going to do John I'm going to

play03:58

do you I'm going to I find you two weeks

play04:00

wages but I'm going to play you Saturday

play04:02

because I knew you'd be ready for the

play04:04

game believe it or not he was fantastic

play04:07

in the game played really well and would

play04:10

you believe it after the match is over

play04:12

he comes knocking on my door and he said

play04:14

GFF can I have a word he said uh could

play04:16

uh would you stop that fine the two

play04:18

weeks way he just fine because he had

play04:20

played well and scored twice in the game

play04:22

I said John I'll tell you what I'll do I

play04:23

will honestly think about it but I'll

play04:26

tell you and I ended up having a

play04:27

compromise with him only find him one

play04:29

week's way one you still find him but

play04:30

not as much as you're originally going

play04:32

to Simon Martin's right rashford's got a

play04:34

bit previous hasn't he um interestingly

play04:38

both United and rashford's Camp declined

play04:40

to comment uh when they were contacted

play04:42

by the source of the story of the

play04:44

athletic over the weekend but where does

play04:46

it leave him I mean how much of a

play04:48

Hardline stance does ten hag now need to

play04:50

take with rash depends what he's done I

play04:52

mean ultimately if um you're playing on

play04:54

a Saturday a lot of managers would let

play04:56

players go out on a Wednesday um and we

play04:58

don't know how long he was in a

play04:59

nightclub for you know he might have

play05:01

been there till midnight and come home

play05:02

for all I know I don't know I don't I

play05:03

don't have the exact details of what

play05:05

he's done if he's playing on a Sunday

play05:06

he's gone out on a Thursday the question

play05:08

is is why is neon training on Friday and

play05:10

why does why does tenh knowing

play05:12

anticipating this question need to make

play05:14

it an internal matter the answer was

play05:16

he's not very

play05:18

well that's it that's the end of the

play05:20

discussion he's chosen chosen to make it

play05:24

a media matter he doesn't need to deal

play05:26

with Marcus rashford through the media

play05:27

if there's a problem with Marcus

play05:28

rashford R's attitude then he should be

play05:31

dealing with him um face to face but

play05:33

he's used terminologies it's nothing to

play05:35

do with his language or nothing to do

play05:36

with the fact that he's been caught on

play05:38

the Hop this question you you don't

play05:40

bring Marcus right anything with

play05:41

Manchester United anything that's not

play05:42

there someone's going to ask you at a

play05:44

press conference because of the nature

play05:46

of people's perception of what's

play05:47

happening at Manchester United ownership

play05:49

change culture inside the football club

play05:50

wrong not winning anything everything's

play05:52

been up up in the air since Alex

play05:53

Ferguson walked out the door so you know

play05:55

you're going to get these questions so

play05:56

the answer would have been really simple

play05:58

he's not very well

play06:00

and the rest of it would have taken care

play06:01

of itself and he would have dealt with

play06:03

him but for whatever reason he's chosen

play06:05

to air it you know I don't know whether

play06:07

this is a a cardinal sin I don't know

play06:09

whether Marcus rashford is legitimately

play06:10

unwell and neither does anybody else in

play06:12

this room and I don't know whether him

play06:14

going out on a Thursday evening is

play06:16

anything different than a player going

play06:17

out on a Wednesday evening which

play06:18

managers would allow them to do if

play06:19

they're playing on a Saturday I get that

play06:20

but why would ten hag opt to say

play06:22

yesterday he didn't make the training

play06:24

session uh on the Friday because he's

play06:25

not very well when he himself doesn't

play06:28

know whether or not rashford was indeed

play06:31

well or not well no he's not his doctor

play06:33

I'm assuming that he's been told he's

play06:34

not very well so with that in mind by

play06:36

rashford by rashford I mean how else do

play06:38

you tell someone you're not very well

play06:40

you know rashford would have fed in of

play06:43

and found it or or would have got

play06:45

someone to fall in so the question is

play06:47

but he doesn't know himself for sure

play06:48

that's why no he hasn't stuck aetra of

play06:50

his Jacki and seen how what his

play06:51

temperature is no granted but the point

play06:54

is this is that we're talking about a

play06:55

manager that's got form for this too so

play06:58

ask yourself the question why does ten

play06:59

hog want to do this this this this way

play07:01

forget rashford you know at this moment

play07:03

in time rashford can be dealt with and

play07:05

he's an employee and he's going to be

play07:06

bought in line or sold that's what

play07:08

happens to rashford because he's been

play07:09

going on for too long with him up and

play07:10

down he's not a top class player he's a

play07:12

good player because Top Class players

play07:13

are like that all the time he's like

play07:16

that like that like that up and down so

play07:18

Top Class players don't score three five

play07:19

six seven goals in one season 30 the

play07:21

next he's a good player but not a

play07:23

worldclass player the issue is ten ha

play07:25

and his preparedness to involve the

play07:27

question to involve the controversy to

play07:31

involve the Pyon of adverse thinking and

play07:34

adverse influence and why does he want

play07:36

to do that because it must be a style of

play07:38

management because he's done it with

play07:39

Jaden Sancho by the way I make him right

play07:41

for doing it for Jaden Sancho I do I

play07:43

think Jaden Sancho was so is he not

play07:45

right for doing it this way as well well

play07:46

but I don't think I don't think it's I

play07:48

don't think it's a continuing Trend that

play07:50

works I don't think I don't think it's a

play07:52

dressing room bonding mentality whether

play07:54

the players should be have their minds

play07:55

concentrated if you use the media you

play07:58

get to use them once or twice you don't

play07:59

get to use them as a staple diet you

play08:02

don't get to have that as your default

play08:03

setting as a management tool I will

play08:05

bring players into the media to help

play08:06

concentrate their minds that's not

play08:08

that's not I don't think the media

play08:10

didn't get what they wanted yesterday in

play08:12

question no but they got given a thread

play08:14

and that's all they need is a thread

play08:17

right but you let's let's go back into

play08:20

the the manager's mind for to start as

play08:22

we said at I said at the beginning the

play08:24

many the very fact that he mentioned

play08:26

I'll deal with this situation means that

play08:27

there's something to deal with that's

play08:29

the point so may be the wrong choice of

play08:31

word for a start but but you have to

play08:33

look at at the other Viewpoint that

play08:34

you've given players a few days off and

play08:37

and if if rashford had been in training

play08:39

at the time on Friday then there would

play08:41

be nothing said but there's there's

play08:43

there is an irritance about about about

play08:46

someone who that you're looking from the

play08:48

manager's Viewpoint that has had been

play08:50

given a couple of days off hasn't has

play08:53

been he has found out eventually maybe

play08:55

not at that particular time when he was

play08:57

doing the interview but he's found out

play08:58

eventually that um that the lad has

play09:01

actually been in a nightclub on a

play09:03

Thursday night fine okay still within

play09:05

his rights that's but then ring rings in

play09:08

sick and the next day well I'm sorry

play09:11

that is that is just no wonder you would

play09:13

blew up with that absolutely because

play09:16

okay but that's great Martin That's

play09:18

Wonder would you dealt with this the

play09:19

same way yesterday you said an internal

play09:22

no I I think Simon's point exactly I

play09:24

think you would said you wouldn't say

play09:25

it's an internal matter you just turn

play09:27

around and say to give yourself a bit of

play09:29

breathing space you just say well he's

play09:30

ill because that's that's because he was

play09:33

Ill this what he said because I mean I I

play09:35

I absolutely in professional life or

play09:37

Football Life or whatever life it is

play09:39

when when people take the Mickey out of

play09:40

you and you know they've taking the

play09:41

Mickey out of you it is incredibly

play09:43

irritating but that's a difference

play09:44

between a manager and someone that can't

play09:45

manage because ultimately you got to

play09:47

deal with that now is the best way to

play09:49

deal with that is that going to get you

play09:50

your outcome we can all run into a room

play09:51

and give someone a serious telling off

play09:53

and if we don't know how they're going

play09:54

to receive it then what's the point of

play09:56

doing it we feel better we get nothing

play09:57

from it right so the bottom line is is

play09:59

that if he's using the media to impart

play10:01

wisdom and to impart sanctions and it

play10:03

may well be may he might well be

play10:04

thinking I'm sick and tired of this kid

play10:05

being loed and applauded by sections of

play10:07

the man united fan this is what he does

play10:09

this is how he behaves himself and I get

play10:11

that but is that a good management

play10:13

technique is it going to get you what

play10:14

you want is it going to get an outcome

play10:15

from the player does the player need his

play10:17

backside kicked up around his ears if

play10:19

indeed this is how he behaves of course

play10:21

he does and we've all heard that the two

play10:23

biggest Commodities in football are

play10:24

money and gossip so we've all heard what

play10:26

Marcus rashford is getting up to at some

play10:28

certain times in his private life and

play10:30

how he lives his life and whatever else

play10:31

some of it true probably some of it

play10:32

untrue the point is is that the the the

play10:36

the the usage of the media is probably

play10:39

not the default setting that a top

play10:41

quality manager should want to go how

play10:44

should you have answered it you you're

play10:45

saying he should have said he's sick

play10:47

even although he doesn't know he's sick

play10:49

he's sick well so it's a white life T

play10:52

Han says something that he's not 100%

play10:54

sure about but he just says he what he

play10:56

doesn't want to do is give people like

play10:57

us arms and legs so he doesn't want what

play11:00

would be what's what's but then when it

play11:01

turns out if it turns out that rashford

play11:03

wasn't sick the media will then say to

play11:06

10 hag in seven days from now you got

play11:08

led up the Garden Path didn't you and

play11:10

he'll ter and he'll ter said I dealt

play11:11

with it what I did was what I did was I

play11:13

gave you a need to know stuff you don't

play11:14

need to know the ins and outs of my

play11:16

business I've told you what I was

play11:17

prepared to tell you at the time because

play11:18

I want to manage a situation the way I

play11:20

wanted to manage it not the way you

play11:21

think I should manage about standards

play11:22

said he not sure that he he wasn't going

play11:24

to stand for for certain aspects of

play11:26

Ronaldo's petulant he wasn't going to

play11:28

stand for the Jaden Sancho situation

play11:31

standard standard standard and he's not

play11:33

going to stand for the rashford

play11:34

situation if indeed rashford was well

play11:36

enough to attend training but I do I do

play11:38

take Sam's Point you can deal with that

play11:39

there within the confines of the

play11:40

dressing room you can you can you can

play11:43

tear a strip off someone within within

play11:45

the dressing room and let other players

play11:46

hear if that's the case and it is but

play11:49

there is a definitely an irritance with

play11:51

within of this here that you have given

play11:53

somebody a little bit of time off and

play11:54

you find out that he's in a nightclub

play11:56

and then he calls in sick the next

play11:58

morning but in ter terms of dealing with

play11:59

it absolutely just say he's ill and then

play12:04

then he'll deal with it himself yeah KY

play12:06

here from United fans this morning I

play12:08

mean we we've known for a while that

play12:12

rashford isn't the most reliable on on

play12:15

occasion when it comes to matters like

play12:17

this and now it appears it appears that

play12:21

he could well have a face Toof face with

play12:23

ch hag the sort of which he won't like

play12:26

where are you with Marcus rashford 0371

play12:28

7 234

play12:30

81089 well I mean it's moving along this

play12:33

morning uh that we know because um Sam

play12:36

luckhurst of uh the Manchester Evening

play12:39

News is uh keeping us across it he says

play12:42

rashford's arrived at carington for

play12:43

training this morning after reporting on

play12:45

well on Friday and now tells us

play12:48

rashford's brother an agent Dwayne

play12:50

mayard is also at Carrington this

play12:52

morning um an internal matter the club

play12:55

acknowledged there is there is a

play12:57

separate issue to address dress aside

play13:00

from rashford's

play13:01

illness now I mean it's all a bit Cloak

play13:04

and Dagger Simon isn't it can you second

play13:05

guess for us what that separate issue I

play13:08

where where where are we going now with

play13:10

this rashford's there but now the the

play13:12

agent who happens to be his brother is

play13:14

there too and another incident on top of

play13:17

the no show on Friday has also been

play13:20

added to it's probably the fact he's

play13:22

been out Wednesday Thursday night and

play13:24

then one question is Judgment why are

play13:26

you out on the whz on Wednesday Thursday

play13:28

T

play13:29

night well I mean regardless of that

play13:32

when we talk Manchester United Martin as

play13:34

you might imagine and you can see it

play13:36

here at talk sport the switchboard

play13:37

lights up and this morning is no

play13:39

different um I'm putting out there this

play13:41

morning to Manchester United fans 0371

play13:46

7234 where is your head at the moment

play13:48

with Marcus rashford where where are you

play13:51

with this individual with this boy at

play13:53

your football club and if indeed he he

play13:56

he he has an excuse that maybe ten hag

play14:00

decides is no fair excuse and ten hag

play14:03

operates in a fairly cut and thrust

play14:05

Manner and rashford's in trouble how

play14:08

many lives should he have left at

play14:10

Manchester United Joe's a big United fan

play14:12

Joe good morning where where do you

play14:14

stand with this and and the latest the

play14:16

latest off field story regarding

play14:19

Marcus look for me I think everyone's

play14:21

taking this out contacts when it comes

play14:23

to ten Haag I think he's doing what a

play14:25

manager should do and that's call out

play14:27

players who want to not committed to the

play14:29

club as much as they should be because

play14:31

he hasn't been his performances have

play14:32

been absolutely Dreadful and clearly

play14:36

they don't they they're not

play14:37

understanding the seriousness of of of

play14:40

situations that have gone by you know

play14:41

the Ronaldo situation he got rid of one

play14:43

of the best players in the world because

play14:44

he didn't like his attitude the Sancho

play14:47

situation where he did right in my

play14:49

opinion where a non-performing player

play14:51

wasn't picked and now for me rashford

play14:53

should be on the same chopping block you

play14:55

know at the end of the day he's not good

play14:57

enough to play from Manchester United at

play14:59

the moment and he hasn't been for the

play15:02

for the last four or five months and and

play15:04

you can't keep going back on previous

play15:06

year's performances and saying he did

play15:08

well last year yeah that's that's it's

play15:11

all in the past you can't live on the

play15:12

past you got to live on the future okay

play15:14

Joe lots of good points here thank you

play15:16

for that and I think Jared's another

play15:17

United fan who says quite rightly no

play15:20

player is bigger than the club

play15:23

Jared yeah absolutely man he why why

play15:27

should we protect these players

play15:29

anymore um you know it should be about

play15:31

playing for the badge playing for the

play15:33

team uh and these players think they're

play15:35

bigger than the club it's awful T hack

play15:38

shouldn't have to protect these players

play15:39

anymore get rid of the Dead weights

play15:41

bring in the youth have you got a

play15:44

problem with how ten Haag thus far has

play15:46

handled it saying to the media it's an

play15:48

internal matter it's an internal matter

play15:51

no have you got a problem with that J no

play15:53

no absolutely not absolutely not Jared

play15:56

thank you for that Dave is another

play15:58

United fan has been waiting patiently

play15:59

Dave so many United fans queuing up this

play16:02

morning to have their say on this but

play16:04

we'll take your a call what do you think

play16:06

what are you with rashford at one stage

play16:08

this lad could do no wrong but now it

play16:10

appears that uh he's in the news for the

play16:13

wrong reasons

play16:14

Dave well for meim It's Just Happening

play16:17

too much it's not a first time is it

play16:18

it's happening again and again and is

play16:21

there a problem with in that Squad

play16:23

that's my worry I mean I think T is

play16:25

trying to sort them all out but I'm

play16:27

worried that he may have lost the

play16:28

dressing room I think we've got a

play16:29

problem with these boys at the club I

play16:30

mean it is not only rashford this

play16:32

weekend you've got vaner Beek who's been

play16:34

sent away on loan and he's been hooked

play16:36

at half time and I believe he's he's

play16:37

Tred the ball eight times andone nothing

play16:39

and he's playing for a contract an there

play16:41

you've got the boy that's gone to

play16:42

Seville Hannibal who normally shows

play16:45

massive commitment when he plays for

play16:46

United at least he tries when the rest

play16:47

don't uh and he's been hooked at civil

play16:50

they've sent him home and said you you

play16:51

you know you've got to get yourself

play16:52

sorted out we're not happy with you the

play16:54

way you are at the moment then we about

play16:55

rashford on the back of sancho as well

play16:57

and I'm thinking what's going on and I

play16:59

think Ed's trying to sort the club out

play17:01

but I worry that he's going to be gone

play17:03

before he sorts them out you know

play17:05

because I think I think there's

play17:06

something wrong in that dressing room I

play17:07

really really do but I don't know maybe

play17:09

I'm wrong no David it's a good point

play17:12

Martin do you sense that it's not just

play17:15

rashford as Dave the United fan there

play17:18

suggested why why hasn't it been working

play17:21

for others at the club who arrived in a

play17:23

blaz of publicity like Donny van debeck

play17:26

did um although this is separate a

play17:28

totally separate matter to the rashford

play17:31

situation but they don't come through

play17:33

having Bush onto the scene but they

play17:34

don't seem to excel the way that they

play17:37

might have done well yeah I I I don't I

play17:40

don't think that I don't think the

play17:41

United manager can be blamed for Van

play17:43

Deck being taken off when he's on loan

play17:45

somewhere else no so he's he's been

play17:47

desperately poor and hanniball is

play17:50

exactly the same so that that's

play17:51

irrelevant really but what you're trying

play17:53

to do is deal with the situations that

play17:55

you see them not and last last last last

play17:58

year it it turned out to be a really

play18:00

decent season for Manchester United and

play18:02

what everybody's thinking they're going

play18:03

to push on they're going to be the

play18:04

Manchester United of all they're going

play18:06

to be they're going to be competing as

play18:07

they used to do under Alex Ferguson it

play18:09

didn't happen and and and sometimes you

play18:12

do get issues and and you're getting

play18:14

issues with players and that that does

play18:16

happen it's how it's how you deal with

play18:18

them and if someone is is is you know

play18:21

what if rashford was even uh doing

play18:23

better this season I think sometimes you

play18:25

can put up with somebody's you know some

play18:28

somebody who you know bending the rules

play18:30

a little bit because on the field it we

play18:31

bit like I just said there about half an

play18:33

hour ago about Big John Karu I thought

play18:35

that John Karu could do something but as

play18:37

long as the players knew in the dressing

play18:38

room that they had broken the rules and

play18:40

that he was going to be fine I thought

play18:42

there was some sort of reciprocity there

play18:45

OS didn't it was you the first time yeah

play18:49

absolutely so from that Viewpoint I

play18:51

thought that there would be something

play18:52

like that however if this is a

play18:54

continuous problem I think you some

play18:56

somewhere along the way you do have to

play18:57

stamp down on it you have to sure I mean

play19:00

at one stage Simon rashford could do no

play19:02

wrong in the eyes of United fans you can

play19:04

sense you can sense it there's a

play19:07

frustration amongst his support about

play19:08

them now no one will disagree with the

play19:11

principle that the club is bigger than

play19:12

the players it's about how you implement

play19:14

that and what you choose to do to

play19:16

determine the outcome for those that

play19:17

think they may be able to do things the

play19:19

problem is with allowing performances to

play19:22

dictate how much leniency you get is you

play19:25

create cultures I I agree Maverick and

play19:28

people that have a mentality that that

play19:30

is slightly different should be indulged

play19:32

a little bit but the problem with

play19:33

football and it's always been there and

play19:34

certainly was during my time there was

play19:37

it's a liberty taken culture and then

play19:38

Liberties became the norm and the norm

play19:40

then eventually someone CL clamps down

play19:42

on an atrocity because they've had just

play19:44

about enough of it yeah and it's about

play19:45

how you get the balance between the two

play19:47

the problem is is with with the

play19:48

modernday football is that they've got

play19:50

too much money too many people telling

play19:52

them that they're too wonderful and

play19:53

nobody holding them to account we live

play19:54

in a society where you can only praise

play19:57

because if you criticize you got why

play19:58

about people's mental health or some

play19:59

nonsense of that that order in terms of

play20:02

telling someone the truth about what

play20:03

they're doing what they're not doing and

play20:04

the problem at Manchester United is that

play20:06

you've had a culture that's been allowed

play20:08

to creep in I I I don't care how many

play20:10

times I say this I think that culture

play20:11

was allowed to creep in under aligon

play20:13

sire it's there now where these players

play20:15

have have got a different attitude

play20:17

towards playing for Man United they

play20:18

don't get the gravity or the realization

play20:19

that playing for Man United is a unique

play20:22

dony van Deek wasn't good enough for Man

play20:23

United it's got nothing to do with

play20:24

anything other than that okay but other

play20:26

cultures like what's happened with Mason

play20:27

Greenwood happen with other players that

play20:30

is a culture that pervades football now

play20:32

well we now know that rashford's brother

play20:34

and an agent is at Cannington as well

play20:35

this morning and the club uh according

play20:38

to uh Sam lockhurst of the Manchester

play20:40

Evening News the club acknowledge there

play20:42

is a separate issue to address aside

play20:44

from rashford's
