Marcus Rashford (Out) | Rashford: “For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”

If he focuses 100% on football I believe he can still be a very good player. Unfortunately it seems that is not something he will be able to show in Manchester.

When will this absurd myth end? Even if he's not "focused on football" he should still be doing better at the basics of football.

If he has the discipline to do his fecking job consistently day in and day out, he’d be a very good player. Unfortunately that is not something he will be able to show in any team.
 
3.5 years left on his £325k a week contract. Zero chance of anyone bidding for him outside of maybe a Saudi team who would offer even half of those wages.

If he doesnt get that level of offer he'll refuse to leave, simple as. He wont walk away from the £45m+ we will owe him from summer 2025 to summer 2028.

If we're talking likelihood it's about 10x more likely we manage to sell Antony than Rashford in the summer.
Don't disagree with this. However, it depends on the contract ie what constitutes a breach. Should be testing the players more frequently for alcohol and fitness levels etc to see if any breach on their part. Otherwise do a Chelsea on him and make it clear he ain't going to train let alone play with 1st team rather have him train with youth team and see if he is happy sitting out his ‘peak’ years.
 
No one is paying for Rashford, it will take us buying him off and him leaving on a free
 
Have always been a Rashford stan, he has such a unique set of skills and I thought he'll really kick it off after that amazing season he had. But alas, he goes back to being the inconsistent kid we have been accustomed to. He's 27 now and I don't see him ever living up to his "potential".

Wonder who will take him off our hands, other than PSG, I can't really see anyone else. As for his replacement, Kavara looks like the perfect wide 10 in Amorim's system.

Nobody is going to pay 40m. Youd be lucky to get 20m
Given he’s one of the best paid footballers in europe, the only way he gets sold if it’s on a free transfer, we have missed our shot at selling him profit long time ago.
 
I genuinely cannot see anyone being interested in him, he offers nothing.

£50m+ left in wages and likely a high loyalty bonus to pay off. £40m being quoted in the press would be a miracle.
 
There’s some fools at our club. A few years ago when he was flirting with PSG we should have cashed in. I think even the fans were pretty unanimous at that point that we should sell whilst we could. £100m they were mentioning. I don’t think we’d have a buyer at £30m without serious performance clauses now.
 
Please use other Rashford threads in the United or Player Performance Forum. This one is for transfer news only.
 
I’m not going to write out a long post and maybe a poll should be added for this but I personally think it’s time that the excuses stopped and Rashford simply has to be moved on to whoever will take him.

Zero pressing, zero running, zero attempts to run at opposing defenders, awful footballing intelligence, can’t hold the ball up, doesn’t run in behind, can’t cross and his body language says everything that’s needed.

No more ‘he’s a local lad’ or ‘he loves the club’ as we love the club ourselves and over the past two years he’s barely contributed more than any of us would which is simply a warm body on the pitch to make up the numbers.
 
Agreed. It's best for everyone involved. Might even give him a new lease of life elsewhere.

I couldn’t care less about a new lease of life elsewhere. I’d literally have zero interest in any future club.

Just get him out of ours
 
Who's going to match his wages?

We're stuck with him for another few years.
 
At this point he's like a Sunday league player, who shows up and gets played no matter what condition he's in, because he was good 10 years ago, scored a few important goals and might have gone for trials once.

Whatever he had is gone, whether he can get it back somewhere else, I don't know. For me anyway he's done at Utd, that tonight was Martial vs Sheffield Utd levels of bad, I said when happened Martial should never have played for Utd again.

I think we're at that stage with Rashford, enough is enough. When your highest paid player is stinking it up like this and is still getting chance after chance, what does that say to everyone else?

It's time to be ruthless, set some standards and people don't want to meet them show them the door.
 
I'd love to know why he's still part of the match day squad never mind the first team. He offers practically nothing yet will still get significant playing time. Don't be surprised if he starts against City.
