So annoying how players’ free time is policed like this. Time off is time off. As long as he’s not doing something illegal or immoral, I could give af.

[@paulspy]

I dont understand this rashford shit. The day or 2 before he went to america he was literally a school he funding to help out but no one speaks on that. Also what abour salah being at fisney world that day? See no one speaks on that

[@Ali-fb5km]

The issue is that he's not performing, Salah can do whatever because he's the most inform player in the world, Rashford is far off that

[@paulspy]

@Ali-fb5km i get that but why are they only pushing the negative?

[@Swedishpolymath]

I think part of it is that being a Manchester United player is not a "part time job". Rashford's charity work is admirable and all but then again isn't that the sort of stuff you might want to focus on after your "professional football carrier".

[@Ali-fb5km]

@@paulspy thats where I agree with you, demonising black players like Sterling and Rashford constantly

[@pabloalvarez2967]

⁠​⁠@@Ali-fb5kmso no one in the United squad is entitled to a break then? How about players in the City squad who are underperforming by their standards? How about Arsenal player’s who are underperforming by the level they set the previous campaigns? Players can do what they want on the breaks they are given. As long as they are back at the club when they need to show up there should be no issue with it as it is with every job

[@changingways28]

We talk all the time about how players don't ever have time off and now we're telling players how to spend the little time off they have ?

[@laser__unicorn]

I noticed a lot of internet-talkers (never know if they are people or bots) don't realise players are humans and actual people and that football is their job and they have a right and also a need for days off, lest their bodies fall apart from exhaustion and lack of rest. Also, jet-lag is different for different people.

[@nicholasroy1187]

some footballers dedicate their lives more than others. It's their choice and we have to respect it, it's only their loss if they don't put as much into the game as some in the game like Mo Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo etc. Well articulated, Lyes

[@Deathmare235]

Should put enough work to not be 13th

[@Deathmare235]

I understand people wanting united to be more disciplined but cmon it was their break did Fergie make it so fun wasn’t around in the club Edit: I kinda misunderstood Neville, maybe he doesn’t mind that they’re taking a break but they’re 13th

[@arielayo]

These guys are acting like players like Ronaldinho weren’t drinking, partying and having fun till the early hours of the morning. But when he turned up on the weekend, nobody cared. The only reason they have the courage to badmouth Rashford is because he isn’t playing well.

[@h3nder]

That's realistically the problem. Maradonas life was only a problem when he started not performing, same for Dinho.

[@h3nder]

Ofc I think it's silly, either slack them for their behavior when they perform and when they don't perform or don't make it a problem at all.

[@Deathmare235]

I think the partying isn’t the problem it’s the results

[@MinisterManDan]

If Rashford played like Ronaldinho nobody would say anything. He doesn't though, he been the worst player in the premier league for the last season+ when you factor in his wages.

This rashford thing Is just most racially pushed honestly I cant even deny it I just saw someone call him a monkey on X today and got 2k likes sigh... they are just trying to had casemiro its just about marcus rashford he cant breathe he will get criticized

[@mike04574]

Well it’s x… the most degenerate place on the internet

[@miller3784]

Same happens with zirkzee too

[@SamyueruXLIII]

Yea definitely just because of his skin colour and not because he broke trust with incidents like Belfast

[@luissilva-santisteban3960]

must say this is a great podcast

[@alexvasquezvasquez3113]

I criticize Marcus rashford because of his footballing performances but this is just racially motivated and you can't convince me otherwise. Imagine wanting to enjoy your time off and you have people criticizing you cause of the color of your skin. Crazy how this is normalized in Rashfords case.

[@jackmckernan7588]

Obviously they are allowed spend there time however they please. But as a fan, it would be nice to see them working hard or training to get back to there best as they have currently been in extremely poor, and are supposed to be stars of the club.

[@abutimelanin]

When I was still on Twitter I would constantly see Real Madrid players at basketball games and thought “okay… nice, they mingling with American celebrities”… What the hell is this? I need media personalities to also go touch grass my goodness. An issue was made out of nothing.

[@Deathmare235]

It’s cause they’re 13th

Gary needs to focus on fixing his stutter, not on where another man goes on vacation

[@TanInVan]

The way football has evovled, the number of games, the social media, the hounding of pundits, EVERYTHING, is burning out players left right and center. The last thing I want is one of our players, to get shit on for taking some time off and unwinding the way HE wants to unwind. Too many of our own fans get into this old man mentality of wanting players to train 26/7 and im sorry, its disgusting, its exhausting, and these old blokes really need other things to do.

[@alang.v8371]

Neville came off like a helicopter parent. Stop hovering over these grown professionals. They have lives outside of football. However, I do believe that the GOAT's sacrifice everything to be in that position. No shade to Rashford he can do what he wants.

[@Only1koji]

it is very hypocritical to put so much pressure on someone and pretend like the club has not ben dog shit for some time. we act like we dont know why rashford has been inconsistent some even bring up the fact that he had many managers and never consider it as a problem

[@riszulu]

What happened to the rodri video. Didnt get to watch it

[@LyesClips]

misunderstood what Rodri was saying and jumped the gun with the video. didn’t want to be accused of spreading misinformation so took it down🙏

[@riszulu]

@LyesClips Respect it bro. Just making sure I wasn't hallucinating lmao.

[@Quan367]

It’s not about what you guys would do but what Marcus Rashford wants to do. It’s his life not yours ffs

[@kunoCS.]

Agree and disagree. Players personal lives are personal, and they don't owe anything to ANYBODY but their employer. But we've been watching Marcus Rashford since 2016, and I can confidently say that he has not gotten any better as a player. He's talented, but when a guy that talented doesn't progress it's understandable to look for reasons as to why he hasn't developed into the superstar most United fans thought he was going to be. If we were top of the table I'm sure most fans wouldn't give a damn, they could commute from Old Trafford to New Zealand daily for all I care

[@DxpEditz-t2w]

[@gw7120]

The commenter's with their small club mentality , you want that shit out your squad and you see results.

[@brianngure151]

West side of America? Gary, New York is on the east coast

[@Rico6790]

btw just so anyone or lyes himeslf doesnt know Marcus rashford for all his so called "inconsistency" is man united 8th all time premier league top scorer so you gotta put some respect there given the fact on how horrible the club itself have been and developed hin in his career

[@Dkmo94]

They love policing their black players dont they? If the player dont move like Saka, if theyre not seen as a 'Good Boy', then everything the (English) black baller does gets criticized and torched online. Remember the furore over celebrating his own birthday? Its tired atp

[@sjc9738]

As a liverpool fan, players can do what they want in their spare time within reason, if Rashford was scoring close to 20 LEAGUE Goals consistently every season no one would care but he has only really put up big numbers in the league twice in 10 seasons that's probably why he gets lots of bad press.

[@Jmatongo777]

No they’re attack him no matter what if salah having a poor season no one would care that he still went to Disney land don’t speak on stuff you don’t understand

[@sjc9738]

@ loool you just proved my point, salah doesn’t get attacked because he doesn’t have poor seasons.

[@Jmatongo777]

@ that’s not the reason Rashford gets attack if you believe that your just stupid

[@imnotallex5738]

​@@sjc9738 bro it don't matter same Garry that said a ref doing coke doesn't affect his professionalism they like who they like it don't matter

[@sjc9738]

@ I can’t blame him for not liking a guy who don’t track back on HUGE wages and struggles to get more than 10 league goals a season but… I don’t think it’s an issue going on holiday after you’ve been DROPPED from the England squad

[@F1ukez]

Its not that serious. Playing bad for almost 2 years is not that serious either. Being 13th is not that serious

[@Jmatongo777]

He’s allow to do what he wants on international break it’s not that dewwp

[@F1ukez]

@Jmatongo777 who said he can't? In fact he did it. But he can't be complaining when he puts in a stinker performance like he did in the last 18 months

[@Jmatongo777]

@@F1ukez yes he can because he’s not getting criticism about his performance he’s not the only player that’s having a bad season that’s gone away he’s not the only player in United yet it’s only him

[@F1ukez]

@Jmatongo777 he is the most paid player one of the longest serving the club. I don't think the excuse of other players aren't doing well are good enough. In fact hes doing even worse them.

[@Jmatongo777]

@ yes it is and no he isn’t

[@armanepita2501]

Nah he been playing to trash to come out here to the states . Get in the training room!

[@wesley5900]

We need more professional players thats a fact

[@LyesClips]

definitely. but goes back to my point that travelling to ny to go watch a basketball game on your days off isn’t unprofessionalism

[@Jmatongo777]

What they did wasn’t unprofessional fact

[@clipped6963]

This stuff annoys me Gary Neville will talk about these subjects but then can't say anything on the PGMOL or David Coote it just goes back to the fact hes such a virtue signaller and stickler for the rules. Hes jarring icl

[@Adam-l2g]

Rashford is an avarage footballer

[@blackkeiron]

The problem is, he clearly cares about improving his reputation off the pitch more than he does performances on it. Even if the jet lag effects him just 1%, he's paid 300k a week to be in top shape and give his all for the club. Especially considering he's a local kid.

[@FreeChromeBandit]

Stop policing what an employee does during his off days. Im sure you don’t give your all for your workplace during your off days

[@blackkeiron]

@FreeChromeBandit I'm also not paid 300k with people paying up to 80 pound a day to watch me perform at a top level, I can perform my job hung over with no effect to anybody. A sportsman and entertainer can not

[@FreeChromeBandit]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@blackkeironA doctor can’t perform his job hungover because he actually affects peoples lives. A doctor doesn’t get paid 300K, no one pays to watch him, but no one cares what a doctor does during his days off. A doctor is literally more important to society than a footballer, but they don’t get criticized for going abroad during their off days. You know why? Because it’s no ones business what you do during your off days.

[@FreeChromeBandit]

@@blackkeiron Dude doctors don’t get paid 300K a week nor do people pay to watch them perform, but they cant be hung over while performing because they actually affect people’s lives while doing surgery. A doctor is way more important than a football player to society. But you don’t see people getting angry at doctors for going abroad during their days off instead of “giving their all”. You know why? Because nobody gives a fuck what a doctor does during his off days. Same for every other profession. Being a sportsman or entertainer has nothing to do with it.

[@blackkeiron]

@FreeChromeBandit because we don't know doctors, if we knew they were getting smashed the night before a brain surgery and ended up killing someone the public would be outraged. Obviously football isn't life and death, but when you're that well paid and alot of people pay money to see you play, your main focus should be performing That's my opinion done going back and forth

[@Steven-ze4ul]

Maybe if rashford wants to be treated like a PROPER athlete he should focus less on trying to be some hip hop roadman THUG and focus more on scoring goals. Or at least running for his team.

[@sneakytacos773]

You’re a straight up racist

Time off is time off. Let a man live and come back to work when he is needed

[@Karl-lb5yn]

Just don't think it looks good in my opinion and the timing. Why not just stay home, put the head down and be there for when the new manager comes in. Also just respect too in my opinion. Plus, these players only go to America for PR and to show up at games. But that's Rashford, cares more about what he's doing off the pitch than on it. And United fans defending it shows why they deserve to be where they are right now. Defending average players who think they're superstars.

[@pabloalvarez2967]

The timing? It’s the international break. It’s not like he’s jetting to America between a European and league fixture. He’s allowed to do what he wants during his break, as is everyone else in the squad. What the guy isn’t allowed to go to a basketball game anymore? The guy what isn’t allowed to travel to another country anymore? Fuck off, genuinely ridiculous, damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. I’m not defending the performances on the pitch across the last year nor do I expect anyone else to, but this witch-hunt over Rashford is absurd

[@KidembeTumombo]

The Manager didnt fucking arrive at the time of him being at the game

[@therealhb1763]

The timing? Is the best time it's a break and he went to enjoy beacue they play 60 games a season

[@Karl-lb5yn]
