"Sir" title

The article uses "Sir Marcus Rashford" even though he has not been knighted. An MBE does not entitle a person to be a "Sir". This should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.73.160.217 (talk) 22:43, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Debut

Is it worth mentioning that, when he played against Midjylland at the last minute, he was so unknown that he didn't even have a Wikipedia page (my initial attempts to find out anything about him were thwarted by this)--MartinUK (talk) 19:54, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

No footballer has a wikipedia page until they have played in a fully proffesional match. Nothing notable about that. Qed237 (talk) 19:59, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Change his height to 6'1" (185 cm). I know there is not any serious proof but he does look 185 in pictures and everybody keeps saying the same thing, at least on SoFIFA. 194.132.181.110 (talk) 10:48, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

You can't say "he looks 185cm", that's not a valid source. – PeeJay 20:57, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Marcus Rashford height being same for over a year. Even though its changed.

Change Marcus Rashford height from 5"11 to 6"1. According to "https://www.celebheights.com/s/Marcus-Rashford-50259.html" He's 6"1 and according to several other sources too he is 6"1. Shahlan Saleem (talk) 12:35, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Marcus Rashfords shirt number is now 10 not 19. 2A00:23C5:7DA8:C800:648E:1A90:44D0:20F3 (talk) 18:10, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Says who? – PeeJay 18:19, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

As the MUTV commentator said just now, all squad numbers are subject to change until they're registered with the Premier League in a week or so. Marcus Rashford may be wearing #10 tonight, but that doesn't mean he'll definitely wear that number in competitive matches this season. – PeeJay 18:27, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Marcus Rashford Is not 5"11 tall,he is like almost like 6"1 or 1.84cm tall that's obvious! 185.200.214.177 (talk) 14:54, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Have you got a source for that? All the most recent published sources say he's 5'11". – PeeJay 15:22, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 16 April 2019

He is a versatile forward, who often plays as a striker, and is capable of playing on either flank, due to his ability with either foot] He is capable of cutting into the centre onto his stronger right foot from the left wing, He is also able to play in the centre as a main striker, due to his composure, clinical finishing, and eye for goal. A highly skilful player, Rashford is also known for his excellent dribbling ability, as well as his explosive acceleration, agility, quick feet, and creativity when in possession of the ball sudden changes of pace or direction to beat opponents in one on one situations.

Height

Dan Walker noted claimed height 5' 11" on this article not reasonable on 14 September 2019.Djm-leighpark (talk) 11:31, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

the 6ft 1in Rashford continues to impress with his game-breaking blend of directness, dribbling and pace. --EchetusXe 13:53, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Thankyou. Certainly a reliable source and closer to the mark ... the only thing I would comment is that it is from 31 October 2017 just before he was twenty and does not say when the measurement is made. From my limited quick google there usually not a lot of growth past age 20 but perhaps ManU stretch their youngsters or deliberately under report their height to gain an advantage over the opposition. I wonder if there is a higher source? Djm-leighpark (talk)

I observe the contentious disputed height of 5' 11" has been returned to the infobox without notification of the issue in the article. Per WP:BLP this is contentious and a higher height is mentioned at an interview at [[1]] which Rashford himself being quoted as saying ... "Oh yeah. My body’s still growing and developing, so I might still feel aches and pains. I’ve just turned 19, and I’m 6ft 1/2in.". In the circumstances I am removing the information from the Infobox. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:58, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

Style of play

Marcus Rashford has played for a while now. Throughout his career he has been known for his electric pace, ability to beat players and his free kick accuracy. This season he has been compared a lot to Cristiano Ronaldo by sporting pundits. He needs a style of play coloumn BallerAntz (talk) 17:57, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Can someone pelease just add “Saint Rashford of Manchester” under his name. He deserves it and we all need a bit of humour right about now! ManchesterSocialism (talk) 17:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm sure we all applaud the accomplishment, but no, we can't add that to the article. If it gets added, it will be swiftly removed. – PeeJay 20:33, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

Height

What is his height,i have been looking at so many places,at most it tells me 1.8 m,so guys can we reach a fixed height for him soon? EDIFICO (talk) 18:18, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

Starting a new section with a duplicate section header is at besta lack of due dilligence. Why doesn't someone asked Dan Walker who raised this issue in the first place, or someone ask Manchester United or something. There is possibly really to stop using a Template:Circa with a cite and a note with link to Dan Walker's query on Football Focus indicate the dubiousness of the measurement, I'm sure that's what Fred Attock would have done.

the report on Rashford after Euro 2020 final is wrong: the phrase "He was chosen to take the team's third penalty during the subsequent shoot-out but his effort was saved by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma" need to be changed to "He was chosen to take the team's third penalty during the subsequent shoot-out but his effort hit the post"

(third penalty was not saved by Donnarumma, Rashford missed it hitting the post) Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/11/sports/soccer/euro-2020-final-england-italy-penalties.html Zerokilled (talk) 13:11, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

Height

He is listed 180 cm but looking at the pics he looks 185 cm tall. I'm sure we will have soon datas of 185 cm--92.59.102.204 (talk) 16:46, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

"He looks XXcm" is hardly a valid source... – PeeJay 21:01, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I think Rashford must be 191cm as I saw a photo of Rashford next to Thierry Henry, who is 6’2”. Rashford is taller. Mvalm (talk) 19:13, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

As I said, your perception of a photo is not a reliable source. – PeeJay 20:16, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Mvalm Sinc when does Wikipedia work like that? We don't base heights off of what people think. You need a reliable source to say he is actually 1.85 m. Im also surprised how you decided to answer out of nowhere four years later. 71.208.32.185 (talk) 03:30, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

Yeah it is surely not a reliable source but it does gives an idea of how tall he is,(the pic),does it not? EDIFICO (talk) 20:25, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

You know what gives you an even better idea of how tall he is? An accurate measurement provided by a reliable source. – PeeJay 22:53, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Marcus Rashford's height is not 180 cm (5'11) but rather listed in the transfer market as 185 cm (6'1). Here is the reliable source which his transfer market information link, https://www.transfermarkt.us/marcus-rashford/profil/spieler/258923 If you still won't believe that, then do your own research and show me proof that he is 5'11. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faiyazmustakim17 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Transfermarkt is not a reliable source, as its content is user-generated. His profile on the Premier League website says he is 180cm, which is good enough for me. – PeeJay 14:08, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

UEFA.com also says he's 180cm. Is that enough or should I carry on? – PeeJay 14:09, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

If anyone wants to use a particular source for Rashford's height then it is likely necessary to gain consensus for it here, if necessary raising a dispute resolution process. Arguments made on the edit summaries are likely to be reverted, especially given the existence of this discussion. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:26, 26 June 2021 (UTC) See also various height discussions on Talk:Marcus Rashford/Archive 1. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes he is 185cm Sikho Matolengwe (talk) 13:06, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

What is your source? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

I know "my eyes" aren't a source, but Lingard, who is said to be 1.75m, is not 5cm smaller than Rashford here. This picture is 1.91m Pogba, 1.94m Maguire, Rashford, and 1.94m McTominay. This picture is Rashford, 1.88m Kane, and 1.7m Sterling. And this picture is Rashford and 1.8m Sancho. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 14:26, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

To me he looks the same height as Pogba. But yes, our eyes are not WP:RS. So it's just WP:OR. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:40, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Oh yeah absolutely. I think that, in this irregular situation where we can visibly see a reliable source is just clearly wrong, we just leave the height off altogether, as is currently the situation. The only time he has ever commented on it is, I believe, was in this interview in 2016, he says he was 6ft 1⁄2inch. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 15:31, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Well, that's when he was 19. 1.91m is 6 ft 3 in. So I guess he's grown a bit in the last 5 years. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:37, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

I just realised it two days tomorrow (ie 14 Sep 2019) since Dan Walker challenged the height of Marcus Rashford given in this article on Football Focus! Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:49, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

I think rashford should be 1.8m/1.81m

Search a picture of him with Sancho(1.8m) Their height is equal in the picture Agcobile Mxhonywa (talk) 05:45, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry, but comparing pictures of people is unreliable and counts as WP:OR. We need some WP:RS source(s), or else we just omit it. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:12, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
