Marcus Rashford - Linked to PSG

Sell to fund incomings. I don't care that we have the same name.

His brother (agent) has been speaking to PSG, it's verified.

Doesn't mean much though, if his brother calls Luis Campos, Campos is going to pick up. PSG making an actual offer is a huge stretch, it's highly possible his brother called PSG just so he can say he's talking to PSG, then leaked it to all his contacts in the media (because considering how this whole thing unfolded, it was obviously a global planned leak).

If we had to keep Ronaldo to sell Marcus, would you be happy?

Don’t know about happy, but Ronaldo won’t be our problem by the end of the season anymore.
If Rashford stays he’ll probably get a 350k per week contract and we’ll be stuck with a player who is clearly not the same player he was 2-3 years ago.
Perhaps a change of scenery will do wonders for him, hell, he’ll be guaranteed winning titles and playing the final stages of the CL at least, he could tell his grandkids he played in the same team with Messi, Neymar and Mbappe, as well as Ronaldo, that’s a great career.

I like Rashford, but not every academy player has to retire here.
Take PSG’s money.
 
Based on his form over last 18 months he isn’t worth more than 15m to be honest.

But based on his reputation, age and peak ceiling, he would worth over 60m I guess.

So in the end, we would probably get somewhere in between, I’d say 30-40m.

Can see him failing at PSG and within 18 months he’s loaned to Everton or Villa.

Not sure what happened to him but he’s been terrible for too long.

I'm not so sure, he does well in friendlies and let's be honest playing in the French league is essentially playing friendlies every week.

I wonder if what's really behind it though is if he's another PR signing for PSG, if they think he's useful in promoting Qatar and sportswashing.

Money doesn't matter to them, they signed Herrera for crazy wages and everytime I've seen him he comes off the bench.

If he goes, they won't put up with him and his brother's crap over there.
 
We should be pushing for £50m minimum with some performance related payments. He’s at a great age for PSG and has shown with the right coach and tactics can easily get 20 goals plus another 5-10 assists a season.

That £50m could allow us to go out and buy a striker and a RB.
 
I'd be astonished if all this is real. If it is, it could actually be a really good deal for both United and Rashford. It'd be a fresh start for the player and a moving toward the rebuild for the club. I wish him well if he goes.

Yeah same here
 
I have a feeling if he leaves the "inside the dressing room" reports in the Athletic would suddenly stop...

It would be very good, absolutely. If only we could also send Maguire and McTominay alongside him, would be even better

In a summer that United lost Greenwood, Pogba, Matic, Lingard and haven't seemingly replaced those positions with the exception of a free transfer in Eriksen, what makes everyone so confident the club will go about dilligently replacing Rashford. United have some of the worst hierarchy in the league in Murtough and Arnold there should be minimal confidence if Rashford is sold to expect a replacement within the same window. That is wishful thinking. A close source to Ajax also stated that Anthony would have second guesses joining United this late in the window too.
 
Why would he agree to a move that would see him be a bench option at 1st?

Is he willing to wait a season not being a first XI player?

If he did, it'd validate the claims of him not caring as much about football.

What happened to the guy, such a sad story. Right now we can't sell him but it seems more and more he doesn't have a future at United.

he does. as long as he re-signs for something like £5-7m per year and he gets reduced to a bench role. (he's never gonna go for that in Utd, will most likely end up signing for Roma for same money and a bruised ego)

He'd be a solid player for 20 minutes per game, and then playing against weaker sides on europa or whatever. We're acting as if he is a world beater currently. When that changes so will the expectations and the perception hopefully.
 
hmmm. chicken? no, dog.. could be dog,,? maybe cow? no, it's bull. definitely bull shit.

Agreed. Problem is the club seem to treat him as a poster boy at the moment. As if they want to force the whole issue of him being a future United star.

Been widely reported form sources in France and England. I also find it easy to believe Mbappe would like to have him at the club.

Seems fairly accepted that Rashford's brother met them too.

Hakimi surely the best fit for what we need
 
Selling Rashford would allow us to play Sancho on the left, where he’s clearly more effective.

All things considered, 40m is about right to part ways with Marcus. A shame that over the last 24 months he’s performed as though he’s had the parking brake on. He played far too long with injury, waited too long for the surgery and his head got fukked for a variety of reasons. Best for all parties that he move on.

If a sale is no longer possible, perhaps a season long loan to a European club so that he can escape the cauldron of the British media and PL chaos and hopefully rebuild his confidence.
 
I don’t think would ever happen but would be cool to sell him and generate enough money to buy Antony. I would be quite pleased with that swap.
 
The key question is, does his excellency, the royal prince highness Kylian Mbappe want him at the club??

Sancho played on the left loads last season and wasn't effective at all. He finished the season with almost identical stats to Rashford.

The squad as a whole was catastrophic last season, bar a few top performances from Ronaldo and relatively decent performances by De Gea. While I don't disagree that Sancho was not effective in his first season with United, he definitely looked better than Rashford, at least on occasion.

Since this is the Rashford thread and not the Sancho thread let's focus on Rashford very briefly. Although we can point to injuries as a contributing factor, the undeniable truth is that he's been ineffective the last two seasons. The season before that he was still something of a breakout player whose game consisted entirely of pace. That pace is gone now and he just doesn't have the technique or vision to be consistently effective in the PL. I can't even remember the name of the Brentford RB Rashford went up against but my understanding if that that RB was playing his second game in the PL and he had Rashford in his pocket. I hate to say that any footballer is done but Rashford doesn't look at all like he's up for it any longer at Old Trafford.

Ah right so the squad being a mess last season isn't a stick to beat Sancho with but it is for Rashford.

Can't you see the utter hypocrisy there mate?

I'm not even convinced Sancho will ever have a season as good for us as one of Rashford's better ones.

It's not at all unusual for a new player to not have a good first season at Old Trafford and then improve dramatically thereafter. Vidic and Evra come to mind. De Gea is another one. It's actually a standard expectation that it takes a season for a new player at any PL club to hit top gear. Some hit top gear immediately, but most do not.

But you could well be right that Sancho may never have a good season for us, but it would be good form of you to acknowledge that Sancho walked into an erupting volcano last season.

Still an erupting volcano

I forgot about Carrick, another United transfer who got off the blocks slowly but quickly established himself as a brilliant acquisition.

But the difference between Vidic/Evra/Carrick and Sancho/Varane (Ronaldo is in his own league) is that United were truly an erupting volcano of shit last season.
