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

Anybody got any stats on his distance travelled per game against people that play a similar position?
 
If Bayern have interest this Jan we could see if they’d entertain offers for A. Davies as part of the same deal.

£60m for Rashford
£30m for Davies

Would be a good outcome for the “books” for both parties, with Bayern not losing an asset for nothing and us getting a more inflated value on a pure profit player.

Wait you expect them to give us Davies AND £30m? Any team that buys Rashford now is taking a serious punt.

You do realize that Bayern has games in the first half of 2025 for which they need a LB, don’t you?
 
MLS or Saudi will be the only options for Rashford.

No way Ratcliffe is going to sanction him going out on loan and us paying a big chunk of his wages. Nor will we give him a large pay off to go.

He will have to cut his salary and expectations or get his head out of his arse and knuckle down and put some effort back in and get playing again.

I think the most likely outcome is that he goes on loan with us paying a % potentially

Similar to Sancho deal we might get a loan with obligation

Rashford makes the decision on where he goes. Would he want Saudi/US leagues? would he be paid the same in US?

Ideally we get a decent fee and all wages off books but who could/would pay that? Saudi aren't really investing anymore like they used to
 
Do we know how much our players earn if we aren’t in the CL? I seem to recall 20% less?

Let’s assume he earns £320k including CL bonuses, so he is currently on around £250k which isn’t too bad if we somehow make up some of the difference his new club is willing to pay?

25% is the usually reported cut, so (if £300k is his correct “usual” salary) he’s probably on £225k base this season.

That's not to bad, most top 4 clubs in europe can easily match that, and i think the club too will be ok to partly compensate the difference. I'm getting increasingly excited to finally see the back of him.

Sure but they can afford to but how is Rashford or Bruno going to get into the top 3 sides in the big leagues in Europe? Not in England. Not in Spain. PSG maybe. Not in Germany. Italy is skint.

According to the chart here on the BBC, last season it was 9.7 km per 90 (they are quoting Opta). Which is the same amount as Harry Maguire:-

According to Opta, of the 17 outfield players to have completed more than 500 minutes for United this season, Rashford's distance covered per 90mins is joint lowest - with Harry Maguire - on 9.7km
 
Classic redundant wording. Up there with starting a sentence with ‘I mean’ without having said anything beforehand or the person asking them what they meant.

Absolutely. Dilution tactics.

“for me, personally, I’m ready for a new challenge…”

“Personally, I’m ready for a new challenge…”

“I’m ready for a new challenge…”

You can see how it’s designed to take the edge off. Henry Winter has always been obsequious/a bootlicker

I recall in the World Cup when Capello was manager how he deemed England favourites because of the Italian. Afterward, he properly stuck the knife in, and completely failed to mention his fortune telling.
 
Anything comparing him to other teams players in a similar position?
Does that matter? You’ve got evidence that he did a very similar amount of running compared to Antony, who is apparently a very hardworking winger.
