His interview was not respectful, at all.
Marcus Rashford (out) | signs for Villa on loan

Alright, if you insist. Let's start in chronological order:
Here you do an a b c to argue why it's very unlikely both that the cultural reboot article was a brief, and that the club wanted him out.
a) That's just a strange assumption on your part. "Rashford's PR" very rarely do any official statements, why would that change here? I remember reading reports of Rashford being very unhappy with learning that the club has been trying to sell him behind his back, but you'd presumably reject that like you're rejecting the cultural reboot.
b) Why would Amorim not have said that? This isn't even me necessarily disagreeing, but I can't even begin to understand your train of thought.
c) Yes, of course Amorim can play Rashford if he wants, which he doesn't want to. Rashford would probably be playing if he was performing better, or did better in training. What does that have to do with anything? Not a rhetorical question, I have no idea what you're trying to show with this.

Not sure what you guys are arguing about, but it's fecking tedious
as if they had any insight how he is in training these days.
if that was the only thing noone would care but it all adds up. Some already realized when he (and BW for example) had ice around their necks with their names/initials. How much more obvious can it be they bought into their own hype. and there are plenty more examples with rashford where he thought he was something better than your average joe i.e. parking wherever not caring about the rules/fines. So yeah, all that "good guy things" he has done makes no sense in that light. It might be cynical, but is it really so crazy to think it was done for good pr? How much effort did any of his undoubtfully good things he done actually take? How much of it did he came up with himself or was it advised? I understand that is not well looked upon to critizies him for obviously good things he has done but isn't it evident he is very entitled and selfish? It seems so out of character to be honest when you see how he apparently acts in daily life and yes I will get hate for that. Its a serious matter and it was against the government i don't believe any of it was actually written/said by him without advisors and yes of course its a win win for him he feeds kid(who would be against it?) and it makes him look good. Just like putting his name on books.

I know! I encourage everyone to scroll past.
With the way young kids are improving and getting minutes (Collyer, Garnacho, Kobbie, Dorgu (hopefully) and Yoro), it will be a bad influence to keep him on the 1st team.
why is no one talking about the obvious reason for Rashford’s decline? It’s common knowledge he was body-snatched by pod people whose home planet has a higher oxygen to nitrogen ratio. #feckingFactsInnit
hes going nowhere.
Sadly I get the same feeling.
Every day I log on hoping to see an update to a thread that he's going for a medical or something
I remain hopeful he can find another club
Surely, there is some market for him. He's overpaid on ~£300k a week, but for £100k a week he'd have suitors. Even if someone covered that much of his wages with no additional loan fee, that saves us £2M the rest of the season in wages. More likely we can find a suitor willing to cover £3-4M.Sadly I get the same feeling.

I'm not sure we want to do that. If we insist on full wage coverage or no deal, it could be true that there's no market for that. Ultimately, that's a choice though; would we rather keep him to stay at home than receive a few million in wage coverage? I'm thinking in the end there will be some loan deal struck, but we'll see. It doesn't really benefit anyone (player or club) for him to stay at home.
What he chooses to wear in his own time has nothing to do with his performances.
3 weeks ago: "VISCA BARCA!!"
Now: "visca barca...."
Now: "visca barca...."
I don't understand him. If he wants a move or wants to stay, surely it is in his interest to train hard? Being left out of the team means he loses his appearance money. So even if money is motivating him, this is hitting his own bottom line. A ridiculous situation. And then what kind of stories is going to tell his kids/grandkids about his time at United. Surely, he must have more pride than that.
Racially tinged, piss off with that crap ffs

It wasn’t racially tinged at all mate.
What's the underlying point of commenting 'dressed like that'?
Go away
Please let this be so
I don't feel as strongly against Rashford as others, and will wish him well actually
But loaning him is quite important now. Amorim has clearly laid down his marker that a lack of effort won't be tolerated. If he then U-turns and lets him back in then I think he'll lose some respect. You can't give this current bunch an inch. They need to know they'll be fecked off if they don't give it all.
Luckiest fecker ever if he landed a gig with Barcelona with his recent form. If that doesn’t give him motivation to try then he may as well pack it in.
If he’s going on loan, it would definitely be preferable for him to go somewhere he’s a guaranteed starter. He’s going to have to play at his best at Barcelona to force his way into the starting 11 there and query whether there is any hope of them then buying him in the summer anyway.
That said, if that’s the only option, I think we have to accept it. We have to get him playing football and hope he hits form before the summer to facilitate a sale.

Everyday I come to this thread to look for her we go tweet but always left disapointed.
Bit surprising Barca are still in for him but seems like they're our only hopy as Rashford won't go to Saudi League and Italian clubs probably can't afford his wages.
At least window is almost closed so we'll know soon.

I'm almost certain he'll leave on loan.
Even if we have to pay 100% of his wages, we'll be doing that anyway and his presence here is a huge distraction. Amorim is never going to play him.
With any luck he'll be half decent wherever he goes and someone will buy him in the summer.

I'd rather he help out the kitchen staff than watch him play for another club subsidised 100% by us
Why do we want him?!
Completely agree. We just need to get his toxicity away from everyone else.
Somebody said earlier in the thread that he's said he won't take a pay cut so it's obviously not about getting game time and the England squad.
He just needs to feck off!
There he will sit on the bench too so...
You need a new poster boy, someone big, to show the world that your club is not in difficulties.... or whatever else, just take him
Yeah, you're right.
Thing is - of course - that people see him attending a basketball game in New York, pretty much doing the celeb thing (being high-profile in a high-profile setting)...and they don't like it because of the circumstances: Basically what Neville criticized him for (he shouldn't be flying to New York and back to enjoy himself in the middle of a shite season, just before a new coach is about to arrive). It arguably indicates something - it says something about the player's priorities (again arguably).
But you're absolutely right in pointing out that it has nothing to do with how he dresses.
Also worth noting that Amorim actually defended Rashford here: he made it very clear that he didn't blame Rashford for flying over. He said he wouldn't have allowed it - but that was very much an indictment of the culture at the club and not a personal attack on Rashford.
(In fact, I would say he went out of his way to be diplomatic towards Rashford - and Casemiro too - with regard to this.)

You CAN'T expect him to peel the spuds! You are laying too much pressure on him!
"Lad, it's spuds."
Not to mind he can’t chip anything, can’t roast anything, can’t smash anything
Maybe he could boil over
Or stick 'em in a stew.
He’s good at stewing alright
My issue with him going to Barca on a loan would be the likelihood he ends up being predictably underwhelming, coupled to the abundance of talent they already have there in attacking positions as well as how hostile their fans can be. It just means he comes back in the summer, cementing his reputation as stealing a living at the wages he's on making it less likely we'll offload him for good.
Don't get me wrong, I'd drive him to Barcelona myself (especially if the rumours of them willing to cover all his wages are true), but I'd much rather he joins a smaller club, ideally in a lesser league where he'd be able to stat pad and look impressive, making it easier for us to sell him permanently in the summer.
