🚨Peter Schmeichel on Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Fulham:
🗣️ Peter Schmeichel: “Rashford should not be starting ahead of Cunha on the left wing anymore.
“Look at the goal Cunha scored today. That tells you exactly where he is most dangerous. He wants to start from the left, drive inside, get involved and attack the goal. That is where you get the best version of him.
“Rashford was a waste for Manchester United today. I’m sorry, but United should have won this game, and Rashford said no.
“The chances were there. The opportunities were there. United had enough to win the match, but when your forward keeps failing to take those moments, eventually it costs you points.
“And this is where I disagree with people who will immediately talk about tactics.
“This isn’t a tactical problem.
“It isn’t the shape.
“It isn’t the game plan.
“It is one player failing to do his job when the team needs him most.
“Today, Rashford proved he is a major problem for this Manchester United team if the objective is to achieve success.
“But Manchester United got a point today all thanks to Senne Lammens. He was outstanding. I think he is picking himself up after those bad goals he has been conceding, and his performance against Fulham showed real character.
“Michael Carrick has to be brave now. You cannot keep selecting players because of reputation.
“Lacey needs to start games. Baleba needs to come into this team when he is ready. Hopefully Amad is back by the international break too, because United need more intensity, more hunger and more competition for places.
“Another rubbish result. I don’t care that they equalised late. That’s five Premier League points dropped.
“There has been a lack of hunger, desire and intensity for too long now. It has been there since the Hull game.
“Carrick has to take responsibility, but the players have to look at themselves too.
“Manchester United cannot keep playing like this and expect success.”
A deserved point. A fair scoreline. However, it's not the type of result that you would shout about from the rooftops though, especially when you consider the opositon and team performance.
Never welcomed an international break more in my life.
Spurs next.

This post from Marcus Rashford is honestly disgraceful.
The complete lack of acknowledgment towards MANCHESTER UNITED the club that literally built his entire existence in football tells you everything you need to know about the kind of man he is.
United took him in as a child. United developed him. United protected him. United paid him superstar wages through horrific form. United defended him while the football world criticized him. United fans backed him harder than most players ever get backed.
Yet somehow: Barcelona gets mentioned. England gets mentioned. Managers get mentioned. Loan clubs get mentioned.
But Manchester United? Silence....nah!..
That is not an accident. That is deliberate.
And let’s tell the truth people are scared to say: if Rashford has 15 million fans, at least 14 million came because Manchester United fans embraced him as one of their own.
The badge created the superstar. Not the other way around.
What makes this even worse is the victim narrative constantly surrounding him as if the club abandoned him, when in reality the club kept standing by him long after his performances stopped justifying it.
Meanwhile younger players get dropped, respond professionally, fight for their place again and move forward.
But Rashford? Press leaks. Public sulking. Distance from the club. And now this passive-aggressive nonsense.
This is exactly why no player should EVER be placed above the institution.
Manchester United existed before Rashford. Manchester United will exist after Rashford.
The club survives. The badge remains. The fans remain.
Always 🔴
