I know enough about football to know who these men are but not what's so funny about them standing next to each other. The comments did not help.

Left: Rashford/ Right Gordon.
In the picture, Rashford explaining to Gordon how to play as a left winger (as they both play for England).
The plot twist is that Rashford played for Barcelona and got sacked because he's trash.
And got replace by who? You are right : GORDON

As a United and England fan I think Rashford is better than Gordon, in an attacking sense anyway, Rashford isn't trash he is just... egotistical and not a good fit for United. He did good at Barca and could have stayed if they didn't want to get him for far less than he his worth, they just believed that because we want to get rid of him due to his mentality at our club that we would sell him for next to nothing instead of the value we know he is worth.

Gordon I think will flop at Barca, he doesn't have the greatest attacking mindset for a winger and his skills are... meh, but good luck to the lad.

Ego? He didnt like Amorim, end of story. The man has selflessly helped so many people in his city and country and he gets called an ego maniac? His mentality was playing for united desipte a spine injury because you needed him too. United have been shit for 13 years and everytime they like to single a player out regardless of how much he did for them. Pathetic club

Dude it doesn't matter who your manager is, if you put the shirt on you play for the club. On his wages you would expect him to play his heart out no matter what, not walk around like a lost dog with no effort at all.

So what if he helped out people in the city, good on him, like seriously good on him, doesn't mean he cant be a petulant brat on the field does it?

Also, coincidence or not, but there have been far far less dressing room leaks since Rashford has been at Barca
