He looks worse in the new system than he ever has before. Sorry Marcus, I'd love to see you make a miraculous comeback but let's face it, it isn't going to happen.
Marcus Rashford (Out) | Rashford: “For me, personally, I think I'm ready for a new challenge and the next steps.”

We all probably need to move on from something, yet here we are. Who are we to judge 
Agree. Agree. Agree. Get whatever you can for him. Get rid
I don’t think any of the ‘local lad’ or ‘he loves the club’ tropes have applied to Rashford for a long time. He’s on huge wages after a standout season which over the span of his entire career, looks like an anomaly and that’s the biggest obstacle to him being sold.
I feel like Italy makes the most sense for him (wages can probably be almost matched with their tax nonsense, slower defenders), not sure what club, though.
Shifting him will test all the powers of the new team at the club. Every club know we have a weak hand. The player himself won’t make it easy for us.
I think they shut down that tax nonsense unfortuanetly for the likes of us trying to flog overpaid dross such as this.
I genuinely don't see any realistic paid transfer for him outside of Saudi. He seems to enjoy the high life so, maybe he'd go for it? God knows.
In terms of his relationship with the fans, I feel like it's never really recovered from that season under Ole/Ralf where he had a bust up with a few fans and there were lots of people giving up on him when he got just 5 goals. He then had that 30 goal season and fans were back on his side (still gave him a bit of stick in the cup final that year) but then there's been nothing much since other than off the field antics, disciplinary issues etc. The relationship just feels broken at this point. For his career it might be good for him to have a new challenge and a fresh start, and for the club to focus on the future.
He'd be bored in Saudi, he enjoys a night out and women, that's lacking in Saudi as they don't allow drinking and women live their lives in the shadows.
We're well and truly stuck with him unless we do an Ozil and cancel his contract. Nobody is buying him, especially given the leak this week included the fact we were selling him because of his away from football activities.
He's staying then. Nobody is paying that.
Can’t believe we didn’t sell him after his wonder season… would have got at least 80m for him back then. Now we’ll be lucky to get 80 pound
Who's going to pay his wages though?
I'm not sure who would pay that & pick up his wages.
If anybody gets close to our asking price I can see us covering a good (bad) proportion of his wages.
Maybe he would like to join Ruud in the midlands?
Noone would, it genuinely seemed like he stepped up to become a world class player. He was the single reason we we were a Top 3 team and people were comparing him to Mo Salah.
I doubt it'll happen while he's our top scorer in the league
I would take him ripping up his contract by mutual agreement to be honest. Let him sort out his own deal as a free transfer.
18m a year off the balance sheet and no more entitled expressions from him.
Someone finally said it
Maybe Ruud can loan him for a season, get him to perform and up his value.
That’s not a real world scenario.
When does Messi leave Miami? They might have the money free to take Rashford then.
Is he even inconsistent? When I think of inconsistent wingers I think of somebody like Nani, who got a lot of stick himself in his time here. Rashford is just consistently disappointing, I actually wouldn't mind if he turned up and ran some full back ragged once every three games.
This.
Can't stand the way he dresses in public these days. Very much comes across as one of those high and mighty celebrities who thinks the world revolves around them.
His ego has ballooned to stratospheric proportions.

Spot on. Being consistently cack is worse than being inconsistently good. People need to start realising Rashford is the former.
Hard to tell what Amorim thinks of him. Maybe he thinks Rashford can be coached to fit into the new system.
I used to defend him, I used to be a big fan waiting for his glory days to return, now I hope he has played his last minute in a Utd shirt, he seriously does not deserve another chance, would rather give Wheatley, Obi or Biancheri his minutes, or even recall Hugill at least they would be arsed and they could not be any worse
Agreed, we certainly need his form continue to build on his important four league goals against Everton, Ipswich and Southampton, hopefully that will be enough to avoid the relegation battles come at the end of the season.
Posted this in his performance thread, but it's even more apt here I guess.
Annoys me that we didn't sell him after that purple patch season. Could've gotten 80m(or more maybe) for him probably. But I blame Woodward and Glazers for that. The signs where there even at that time, yes he scored plenty, but his performances off the ball where pretty much the same as now.

I'm not saying we shouldnt. I'm saying we probably wont
We'll probably keep him until someone else is scoring more than he is in the league
Doesn’t look like the Marcus of old, doesn’t look like he’s enjoying his football or seem like his level is going to raise drastically and it does feel like a parting of ways would be best for both parties now.
I’d be surprised if our new leadership team truly thinks that, it’d be down to whether we can find a buyer that satisfies both the club and the player.
Nobody is paying those wages.
Sorry, can you plz remind me of his glory days? Or you mean one good season where we played counter attacking all the time? Without that system and his pace which eventually will slow down in couple of years' time, he is a bang average footballer, always was and always will be. Should have sold him for 80m plus after that good season he had and invested in someone with a bit of brain and desire. We will be lucky to get 40m now.
Harsh. He burst onto the scene under LVG, he outshone Lukaku under Jose, was a star for Ole and main man under ETH. I’m a big fan of Marcus, but really I have to concede he probably isn’t the answer anymore - if he ever was!
He did?
Hey, you might be on to something. I wonder why nobody's mentioned it before.
Tell me one club stupid enough to take him
It was time a while ago. You'll find that how to move him on is the big issue. We inexplicably gave him that new contract that screwed us over for good. Paying for our sins...
