Shame he's reverted to type so soon. Was really hoping he'd hand in there long enough to encourage them to bid for him. Will be a big blow to our finances to have him back next season.

rashy has too high of a view of himself to think that villa is his level.
 
Hope he picks up form and scores a few goals. We don’t need the headache of how to get rid this summer.

I don't think the fan base are entirely blameless on this. They spent half the time during Jose's reign complaining that he made the wingers defend. Ole came in told them to focus on attack and Rashford decided to exclusively do just that.

The fan base wanted a high pressing system, Mourinho made them defend deep as wingbacks.
Ole initially implemented a high press structure but later switched. He made Mc-Fred do all the work. He created this situation.
 
I always see people saying that Rashford has all the talent in the world, he just lacks the drive to work hard.

What talent??? His dribbling ability and technique is at best average and even that's being generous. I would say the same for his passing ability. He primarily just has pace and decent shooting. I feel bad for him in the sense where there were seasons where he was clearly putting in the effort but he unfortunately just lacked the talent and ability to be top class. This perception of his talent has created impossible standards for him that he can never achieve even if he put in all the effort in the world.

Nice assist by Rashford there!

Thought he meant to place it hard for Watkins at backpost and he mishit it.

Good movement though. Weird how he looked for a pass, in United shirt he cuts to his right to shoot 10/10 times.

For sure. He still played the ball in a dangerous area and it led to the goal.

His movement seems so much better. I know it's Cardiff and a weaker team but he's looking like a weight is lifted off his shoulder. He's had a million chances at United but I've got a feeling he'll be back after the loan. I don't see anyone willing to buy him for the amount United want and the wages he's currently under.

I don't think a team would have to do both of those things. By this summer, Rashford will reportedly be under contract for 3 more seasons at £300k a week. That's roughly £15M a year, or £45M for the three years total.

More likely, it'll be something like this:
  • Buying club gives us £40M in transfer fee
  • We pay Rashford a £15M bonus to buy out his contract
  • Rashford signs a new 3 year deal with the buying club for £200k a week (£30M over three seasons)
This way everyone benefits:
  • We get a £40M transfer fee - £15M bonus + £45M wage savings = £70M net compared to keeping him on the roster
  • Rashford gets his £45M
  • United and Rashford both save face by not selling him for a super cheap fee
  • The buying club gets Rashford for significantly less than £300k a week
You might not agree with these exact amounts, but something like that is likely to happen. The better Rashford plays the smaller the bonus we have to give him (and/or the higher the transfer fee can be), as we he's worth more to the buying club.

Unless we win the Europa, his wages for 25/26 would also appear to be £225k (assuming the 25% standard deduction for missing UCL applies) so should be even easier to manage.

Why would we need to pay the rest of his contract? He's the one who wants to play for someone else. As soon as he does that his utd contract won't exist.

Villa have an option to buy for £40mill if he accepts a salary with heavy achievement bonuses there then I think he’d be happy with that.
 
Rashford remains in search of his first goal for Villa, and spurned a couple of very convertible opportunities here but, since he made his Villa debut after joining on loan from Manchester United, no Premier League player has created more than his 13 chances.

Probably done enough for Tuchel to recall him back to the England squad

It's pretty simple really. He's probably not going to agree to a paycut and he has a guaranteed contract, so you either make him whole or keep him on the roster. That's how these things tend to work.

Me personally, I'd rather have £70M than Rashford. Reasonable minds can differ though

I'd pass it too if I was playing alongside Watkins and Rogers, instead of Hojlund and Zirkzee.
 
I hope Marcus does well enough for Aston Villa to stay and enjoy his football again. I thought he`d do well with PSG but seems they`re not interested at all. It`s realistic to say United are unlikely to be able to move on with the team rebuilding if Marcus comes back - one of the qualities of a successful manager is to know when it`s over with a player.

I really hope he doesn`t have some kind of problem with alcohol. As Tony Adam`s Addiicted showed, professional footballers with time and money on their hands can go right off the rails. Hope he continues the momentum, nobody should want to see a decent man fail.
 
This is great for us. Create chances. Start a bidding war.

The fact of the matter is you can't play a high-pressing, intense system with Marcus Rashford. Nothing wrong with that. It's like Maguire - you can't play a modern, controlled system with him because of what it does to the line.

Doesn't mean they both aren't excellent footballers who can thrive in setups that serve them.

But that's not what we want.

Yes, nothing wrong with moving people on after such a long time in one plave. It lends perspective and give a fresh new beginning to start again. Wish all the best for our local lad is what i would normally say but this virus will be back half arsing and leaching the club again. Its all a show and he will revert to his usual self when the going gets tough again.

That’s an almost entirely useless stats since no PL team has played as many matches, in all competitions, as Aston Villa have since Rashford’s debut. They’re also the only PL team to play a match against lower league opposition in that sequence of matches.

His all competition stat being compared with premier league players and premier league games only. Strange metrics

It is insane to actually watch football and see these stats and then the absolute nonsense on the prior page about him reverting to type.

Yes and no in the context of this thread. Sure a bunch of those chances created were against Cardiff too, but the fact his play is creating chances and goals is not reflected in this thread.

In the morning I'll read a Villa match report from the previos evening, which have been generally positive about him (but not without some criticisms too and recognition he's rusty), then read this thread and it's pure abuse.

This thread is where positivity comes to die.

We’re talking about a Manchester United player who’s been a crushing disappointment, seems to have a terrible attitude and is currently costing a club in deep financial shit some of the most expensive wages in world football. Would you expect a thread about him on a Manchester United forum to be full of sunny good vibes?

No of course not, but I'm curious how he does at Villa, given we need the money from a sale. It's hard to get any sense of that reading this thread, given the ingrained hatred. The gulf between the observations here and media reports is even vaster than you'd imagine.

True. But they’re as biased as each other. For the British media, the narrative of an England golden boy’s renaissance away from the dumpster fire at United is far too compelling to take their reports seriously.

I'm not sure Rashford's Utd career in totality will be seen as a crushing disappointment. He's let himself (and the club down) post his latest contract, but as a local lad coming through he's certainly done more good than bad for the club.
 
Media think he’s killing it away from the toxic United he helped to create and …. might even get back in the England squad

Rashy thinks he’s only at Villa “obviously for a short time “ and Barca will be begging him to come in summer (Villa/media are blissfully unaware of this

He’s still a lazy arsed, selfish player that the club would be well rid of

That’s all true. But the way his United career panned out after looking so promising in his early 20s is undeniably a massive disappointment. It’s definitely how I’ll mainly remember him. What could have been.

6 of those 13 chances came against Cardiff, a team in a relegation battle in the Championship. 3 were against Chelsea and 4 were against Ipswich who were down to 10 men when he came on, which they ended up drawing 1-1. So 13 chances against 3 teams. He created no chances against Palace, Spurs and Liverpool.

Against Palace, Villa were down 2-1 when he came on and ended up losing 4-1

Also read something that Bruno has created 13 chances created in his last 4 matches, so the "no one has created more since Feb 9th" stuff might be bollocks

He played for 110 minutes in the games you mentioned and scored a narrowly offside goal.

Again, people have lost their heads so much they’re arguing against literal statistics. Even if it is not THE best, it’s still very impressive.

He also put in the free kick which caused panic and led to the equaliser against Liverpool and hit a magnificent free kick which led to Watkins’ tap in equaliser against Ipswich, which won’t be included in those stats. They have 8 goals in the c. 50% of time he’s been on the pitch for them and 2 goals when he’s not there.

Bruno does indeed have 13 key passes in his last 360 minutes football, compared to Rashford’s 13 in 280 minutes. Since Rashford made his debut for Villa though, Bruno has 10 in 270 minutes, so the statement appears accurate.

Still, pleasing that both the two top performing players in this regard are Man United players and our best two players over the past 5 years. Maybe Bruno and Rashford weren’t the problem after all?

If Rashford was matching Bruno’s creative stats in a much bigger sample size while he was still at United then you might have a point. Of course, if that was the case he wouldn’t be playing for Aston Villa.
