It sounds like an invitation for his agent to start a bidding war for him if he can.
I genuinely can't think of more than one club tabling an offer. If we exclude Saudi since hel never go there.It sounds like an invitation for his agent to start a bidding war for him if he can.
Can't see any other club paying Rashford what he currently earns so if we'll only move him on if he wants it, can't see him going anywhere
It's a mistake but he needs to go?If it’s true, it’s another mistake early doors. The dressing room needs sorted and Rashford is the most senior member of it who is visibly not fussed.
He absolutely needs to go.
Sure, because:That’s a lot of ifs!
I hope you're right. Would be beneficial for both parties.When he said 'enough is enough', I got the feeling he's genuinely had enough, and I wouldn't be surprised if he's communicated this to his agent and/or the club. It doesn't take a body language expert to see he's not been right here for a long time, and I struggle to see how he'd want to stay and be so miserable. I've wanted the guy out for a long time because I think his attitude is poor and he was vastly overrated as a player along with being over pampered by the club, but I also think it will be a good thing for him now to leave. A fresh start abroad would probably do him well.

I don't think we should sell him tbh. I don't see us being able to get in any player that can offer 20+ goals per season to replace him. Rashford's reached a 30 goal season. There are very few players in the world capable of that. I understand the frustration with his performances this season but who do people realistically think we're going to bring in to replace him? He's been rubbish this season and he's still one of our top scorers.
Considering the last 2 wingers we signed were Sancho and Antony I think this is a pretty naive thing to sayHe's been rubbish the majority of his time at the club. He's an arrogant show pony.
Replacements for his abject showing this season shouldn't be hard for a club like United to do and if it is then God help us.
Rashford isn't and will never be the talisman.
Sell and move on

Rashford himself hasn't got 20+goals or 20 goals AND assists combined in two of his last three seasons so, he's kind of failing that metric.I don't think we should sell him tbh.

That's fair for Sancho, but sorry, there was plenty reason to believe Antony would flop. I wasn't happy with us going for him at all, and there were plenty others also, especially at the price we ended up signing him for.Both of those looked unreal in their previous teams, and too many top level players have flopped here.
Something wrong with what we do with players, don't know why so many have turned to dust here.
Am hopeful that the next manager will put an end to this.

Yeah, they fleeced us good and proper.That's fair for Sancho, but sorry, there was plenty reason to believe Antony would flop. I wasn't happy with us going for him at all, and there were plenty others also, especially at the price we ended up signing him for.
Rashford did for 3 of his last 5 seasons though.Rashford himself hasn't got 20+goals or 20 goals AND assists combined in two of his last three seasons so, he's kind of failing that metric.
Even if Rashford did produce the goals it really doesn't always work out that way that when a top striker/winger leaves that it negatively impacts the attack the following season. Look at Ruud or Cristiano Ronaldo leaving, we scored far more goals after the seasons they left than their final seasons here; the goals were just spread out better among the team.
It's hard to find great wingers that score goals. There really aren't many around Europe that score 20+ goals. In the top 5 leagues in Europe, the only wingers to score 12+ league goals this season are Mbappe, Palmer, Salah, Bowen, Foden, Son, Saka and Vinicius. Obviously most of these would be impossible to sign. Bowen will be nearly 28 by the start of next season so probably not the right age profile and he'd be expensive.How so?
now we have Ineos who are apparently going to put some actual thought into the idea of new signings. Not the clowns from before.
So if they get it wrong the god help us no ?
You only really need them to get into double figures when you’re not reliant on one or two people though. Look at Arsenal they have outscored everyone and Saka is their top scorer on 15. Then Havertz and Trossard are the only others in double figures.It's hard to find great wingers that score goals. There really aren't many around Europe that score 20+ goals.

Even if the recruitment team does a great job, there's a very strong chance the winger they find might not develop into a superstar for 3+ years. He often gets criticised for his poor finishing, but there actually aren't many wingers with more than Garnacho's 7 league goals this season. Rashford in a terrible season, also has 7 league goals.
I understand that, but Arsenal have better attacking players than us right now. Martinelli's had a poor season, but he got 15 league goals himself the previous season.You only really need them to get into double figures when you’re not reliant on one or two people though.

So much time and energy spent slating Rashford's "attitude" and work rate, instead of just saying his goals + assists return hasn't been good enough. Why does it need to go from that to abuse, especially from our own supporters? He's had a bad season, anyone stop to think there might be reasons, like when he played through pain and delayed surgery to be available for England? There's something that's causing this decline, it's either injury or mental. Those suggesting he's trying to get TH sacked, or he doesn't care, I don't know what motivates you to turn on your own like that.
You watch how many off the ball runs he makes, how often he's the only outlet and not being found with a pass? He's not been tasked with tracking back. I don't see it as him having some "half-assed attitude".its probably his half-assed attitude on the pitch for the past year
