It's 60 miles, more like an hour.Marcus Rashford. Attitude and timekeeping. Rolls-Royce Wraith. 2 hour commute both ways from Manchester to Birmingham every day for training.
What could go wrong?

Fair enough
Given the fact that we tried him in every position up top. The man refusing to run and train. Under multiple managers, with multiple team combinations, he is jogging on the pitch and partying in the eve of games off the pitch. Nobody else wants him, how else you'd do differently. Please do share.
Christ, we've let Beckham, Ruud, Stam, Tevez, Ronaldo go - all off the backs of world class performances mere weeks and months before selling. Rashford's last consistent great season was in 22-23. There's no mistake in trying to escape from the embarrassment that is paying him more than 99% of the players in this league.
I do actually share this opinion. It’s best for Marcus.
We should never have sold Beckham.
Nonsense, he's had plenty of time and chances here. If he's succesful another place then fine, he's not going to turn it around here no matter what.
Waste of money for us and waste of a career for him.
I was wrong to be fair it is 80 miles, I misread.Can we agree on 70miles before this gets out of hand?
I think you are overlooking the fact that only a handful of the Saudi clubs have the money for big deals and they also have a limit on the number of foreign players they can sign. There was one window where they went for high priced veterans just to grab some headlines but since then they have focused on sensible signings to grow their league.
It’s a huge shame he was never able to consistently show his top level. He could and should have been the star at United for many years. However his pace dropping slightly with age/injuries just exposed that he had no plan B. Hope he is able to do decent at Villa and at least get some kind of career again.
I don’t think he has EVER done this. He might not be up to the managers expectations but he’s never point blank refused.
Selling Beckham opened the door for Ronaldo.
That contract we gave him was an unmitigated disaster.
Good to get rid. I was even getting fed up for the manager having to speak about this has been for several weeks.
Feck Ronaldo, I’d rather have kept Beckham.
Then from selling Ronaldo it went downhill apart from one hurrah when RVP was here.
75?!
Brother, sit this one down.
Trouble is if he does even vaguely well the media will be asking him week upon week if he regrets loaning him out.
But he gets the money so that kinda makes it better. For him.
No I have to be serious now, I'm not allowed to joke or I'll get another threadban probably.75?!
Ah damn, I understand - been there, done that. Sad times
Plus their training ground not in Birmingham.
Whether he does good there or not, it doesn't matter to us other than increasing value no point in future I told you so in either camp. He's decided he's done here and we can all hear PRashfords story in his Netflix documentary once his PR team have finished scripting it. Best of luck.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out
How many champaign chillers and how many party girls can fit into his Rolls Royce Wraith? Picture this, instruct the driver to pick them up while he is jogging back and forth at villa park, pseudo pressing defenders. After proclaiming his love for the game on live TV, he can party in the car all the way back to his private jet, still have time left to fly across to watch NBA games before jetting back to training the next day. When they bench him for poor performance he can still visit schools with his mates carrying the camera. It could work.
He wrecked the Rolls and sold it to Mat Armstrong.
Don’t forget your bling
I'm sure he can get a cheap 1 bedroom or caravan to be a bit closer to Villa
Good riddance, deserves to be booed when he returns to Old Trafford aswell.
Rashford has more than played his part with the issues of toxicity, making our beloved club a circus.

He can rent some swanky digs in Solihull or Henley in Arden.
Real mature, Bradley.
Did you forget to read the rest of the post or something?
I hope he does well, and the optional fee isn't something insulting. Would be nice to get a decent chunk of money for him and move on.
Add that to his wages and it could be a massive help for us in the summer.

Room at the Belfry for 6 months. It’s round the corner from the training ground.
Tells you everything about marcus, isn't it. Not complaining but villa need to be smarter here, put the foot down.
Best news possible. Thank you Villa. Hope he turns things around for himself and does well.
