Seems like the writing could be on the wall for Rashford here. He would have survived under the Glazers but being on silly money, not performing for a prolonged period of time, and the club being under FFP pressure while INEOS are around, all means his probably comes up quite a lot when discussing players who could be sold.

 

[Trex]

I don't see that huge ambition from him, he has got in trouble several times for his behaviour, often criticised by fans for lack of effort and is being paid £325k a week guaranteed for years and can't even get selected for his country, I would suggest if he was ambitious he would have sought to change a lot of this much earlier.

I don't think he can stay for 3 more years if the club have made up their mind to let him go. Clubs sells players all the time when they don't see a future with them anymore, this wont be different.

 

[Foolsgold21]

Can see PSG taking a punt at circa £50m

Their recent acquisitions of Muani and Ramos for more money have not worked at all so far.

They might see Rashford as more ‘proven’ to help the burden on the younger players - here’s hoping anyway as he clearly needs to be moved on.

That's true but if we don't get any offers that Rashford accepts our only choice is to pay his contract off which as I mentioned above will be very costly.

 

[Fooza]

Should have moved in the summer, I can't believe how I was saying before the summer that he needed a fresh start and it'd benefit the club yet it didn't happen. We need to stop 'hoping' he will come good, maybe a new team will revitalise him.

He still is capable for goals, but his decline from when he was younger with that burst of pace and trickery is gone.

Hopefully we'll, Rashford I think he is still too young to knuckle down. And he's young enough for someone to take a punt. If he can accept lesser wages he would get a decent offer or two. Chelsea went for Sancho, Rashford has been way more impactful in the EPL.

Well from the rumours coming out now, MU did try and sell him, but Rashford himself wasn't willing to leave.

If we can get rid of him, Garnacho, and Shaw… man

Garnacho, nonsense. This is the usual young player swings and roundabouts. I swear people in here would have sold Ronaldo in 2005 otherwise. He may turn out not to be good, but it is far too early to be calling to sell him.

That said, the other 2 have to go. Rashford doubly as he is homegrown so the profit on him would be extremely good for FFP.

Are you going to buy him? All well and good to say what should happen, but if there’s no buyers, how does the club sell him?

I think this would be the golden ticket for United, PSG are in need of some 'star' names after losing Mbappe, Messi and Neymar in recent years-- he might fit that profile and as bad as he's been over the last couple of seasons would probably piss Ligue 1 still.

If they do get an offer for £50m United should snap their hand off.

 

[Born2Lose]

This is interesting timing considering Ashworth's departure.

With other references to Ashworth wanting Potter and Southgate, it does make you wonder if rejuvenating fallen from grace, ex-England international Rashford was another pet project for him.

 

[Fooza]

Find it hard to believe there was ZERO interest for a player still considered good by many teams. It was how much we were trying to force and price etc since he was on a lot too.

Thought we had football people at the top and shrewd negotiators, what happened to that.

We gave Sancho the push by exiling him out of the team and then forced a sale, not saying we should exile Marcus but still, if there was interest for Sancho, why wouldn't there be for Rashford?

 

[Cutch]

Can't wait until the day he leaves which I cant believe I'd ever be saying but he is like a dark cloud having over the place at the minute with his lazy attitude, shit output and constant miserableness.

 

[Stinkypete]

If he could find motivation (Sancho did) he can give Martinelli serious competition.

Didn't Sancho get dropped at Chelsea because of his attitude at one point?

 

[Red00012]

Which will never happen.

Garnacho ? You picked 2 players to get rid of and he was one of them. Choose another sport I’d say

If Rashford isn't deemed good enough then Garnacho can leave as well. Neither his base level or peak potential is anywhere near Rashford's, and we don't play with traditional wingers anymore and neither of them are suitable to be wing-backs.

 

[TheRedDevil'sAdvocate]

Put him on sale, it's totally fine, but conduct your business behind closed doors. What are these leaks going to achieve? His every breath will be scrutinized and the pile on will increase. Then we blame the media for putting a negative spin on everything about United to create clickbait drama.

 

[RuudTom83]

All well and good wanting rid...but the queue of clubs lining up for his services is non existent, even the PSG links are completely unfounded at this point.

He's a big name with a world class PR firm behind him. If they do their job right, they can con some big clubs into taking him.

Maybe he's the one who leaked it. Or his agent.

 

[TheRedDevil'sAdvocate]

And he followed it up by leaking that one of the main issues for being offered to other clubs is his lifestyle off the pitch? Not the best thing to put on your CV when looking for a new job.

Ah, carry on...

If you're the Saudis and you want to sportswash, Marcus Rashford MBE is the golden goose.

How much younger than Rashford is he and who exactly says that his 'peak potential' isn't anywhere near Rashford? Garnacho may not turn out to be a world beater but at the moment he's a MUCH better 'hold' for a team like us than the overpaid, busted flush that Rashford is.

Me, I say that. But I don't think it's difficult to see that Rashford is much more talented player than Garnacho.

 

[Squeaky_Bum_Time]

I think he’ll stay in the PL. Go for lower wages, and a pretty low transfer fee, maybe 30m (since his wages will still be high for most clubs, putting downward pressure on the transfer fee).

In a couple of years he’ll start scoring again and his thread will be bumped every time he scores.

If Garnacho is not good enough, then Mount and Zirkzee are not good enough. Are you suggesting we sell 4 out of the 6 players we have been rotating for our front three and replace them all at once?

Have you seen how transfers work in real life?

 

[RuudTom83]

His contract was running down a few summers ago...nobody was interested enough to bid.

He had a 30 goal season and again nobody was interested.

Last season he was awful and rightly nobody was interested.

Not sure even a Michael Owen style brochure could even drum up some interest in Jan or the coming summer tbh.

 

[Adisa]

He certainly isn't fighting to save anything. He won't make it easy for the club and will demand his wages in full.

 

[Remember the geese]

There’s no way he’d get a game for Arsenal.

He's just as bad as Martinelli, so two terrible underperforming options instead of one. Though it does beg the question, 'Why would Arsenal want to spend money on a player who is just as bad as Martinelli?'. Sterling too for that matter.

We werent looking to sell. Of course there would be clubs interested in him. Barcelona are interested, and have long admired him. Clubs know how much of a mess we are. I dont think he's getting as much blame for his form as us fans give him.

 

[Shark]

INEOS have had more than enough like the rest of us, it seems. He simply has to go and had to a couple of years ago, it's now reaching a point where his relationship with the fans has exceeded boiling point.

 

[Grande]

Just to play Red Devils’ advocate for a second: You assume he wouldn’t leak it because ‘off pitch lifestyle issues’ doesn’t look good on his job CV. Do you then assume that ‘off pitch lifestyle issues’ sounds perfect when you are trying to sell a player for maximum profit? Otherwise, the same argument is evidence just as much that the club didn’t leak it either, isn’t it?

 

[Red in STL]

Amorim has talked about wanting it, the desire, the importance of running your bollox off to win matches.

Not really showing either.

Could be he doesn't have any??

 

[Rojofiam]

Garnacho is a winger. The other two are not.

I also wouldn't claim they're worse players than Garnacho overall, because it's a stupid comparison. Garnacho can't play #10 or #9 to those two players' level, whereas those two players cannot play winger to Garnacho's level.

But guess what, we play with 2 wingbacks, 2 #10s and no traditional winger anymore.

The only player in our current squad that cannot play anything except winger is Garnacho. Rashford's at least a really good #9 in transition vs teams that don't sit back against us. Amad and Antony, our other wingers, can play other positions.

So if Rashford doesn't have a place in this team anymore, I can accept it, because of the 3-4-2-1, but then why does that poster suggest that wanting an inferior player with a lower ceiling, and similarly no real place in the team to go as well, should find another sport?

 

[Pickle85]

Me, I say that. But I don't think it's difficult to see that Rashford is much more talented player than Garnacho.

Disagree. Rashford looks like a relegation level player these days. I certainly disagree that he's much more talented than Garnacho. Rashford burst onto the scene, then plateaued, then went backwards. His talent ceiling has already been hit and, let's be frank, he was good but not THAT good.

 

[Shark]

In a couple of years he'll be nearly 30. He should be in his prime right now, and God knows why you think he'll just suddenly start performing again when he looks physically and mentally shot.

 

[Nickelodeon]

I will celebrate with fireworks if he leaves this January. There are many players who represent our current malaise but none more so than Rashford.
