I think with the way Spurs play he would do okay. Considering the problems Spurs have though it’s funny how this is the sort of player they are looking for to fix them.
Either way, we shouldn’t send him to them unless we are looking at loan fees etc.
Thing is if he performs we'll never hear the end of it how he should be given 99th chance here and before you know it it's contract extension time again
Exactly. The guy couldn’t be ‘uber motivated’ after he lost his NT place but the fans tend to be delusional when it is about Rashford.
To be fair nobody would expect him to be so bad. And at that time we need to overpay or else why would they want to come here? We're United but the players we bought have the bargaining power. At least at that time.
You cant expect him to take a 75k per week when we actively proverbially speaking head hunting him to come to us.
Varane and Casemiro too, they're here for the money. They would have said no if the money is not too good to turn down
Loan him out with a good future sale clause and we're done. At 27 he should be at his peak despite the club state, no reason we should keep him if no further improvement is happening for both sides.
Playing devil's advocate I can see why Rashford lost his mojo. Or at least why he has lost faith in Utd. To set up Rashford to be successful he needs to be firstly on the left and secondly with a good lb behind him and a half decent successful team. We haven't given him any if this. Firstly because of Shaw. Then we played him striker and RW. And then we ask him to work hard and drop back which I get should be a minimum ask but some players are just not like that. Salah doesn't do it, Messi doesn't. Not saying he's at that level just saying he doesn't seem capable. Then as a youngster he probably had dreams of being in this great United side. Being up there with Giggs, Keane, Scholes. Lifting trophies etc. But its been one big fkd up sht show. It would be hard for anyone not to loose enthusiasm. You get a new manager and you think yes ok this it. Let's go. Then bam you're slapped on the face. Over and over again. It's hard as a supporter and yes he's being paid 300 grand and should have motivation but it would grind down anyone over 10 plus years of sht
Would Antony, who earned 25k at Ajax had said no to 50-75k? What was the reason for giving him 200k? Its not just Varane and Casemiro. We gave every useless player end-game salaries
I highlighted this behaviour when it was reported we were trebling Amorim’s wages at SCP and got flamed for it.
We make a reputation for ourselves and as a result we end up with mercenary players who wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the cash.
This show how incompetent United is, I doubt Rashford will find a new club even in the summer. Why should he forego his high wages for a lower salary elsewhere? It is very likely that United need to pay him off (severance) to get him to leave. Maybe he will start with a bang for this loan move but eventually he will return to his usual self. At 27, it is weird to see that his career is over. No club in interested to buy, most only wants a loan move where United continue to pay his salary.
Exactly. Unless we do a Sancho style “loan” at Chelsea.
But some of it should come from him, Amad had much worse treatment, sub here, loan there, had good match hooked off, not played in subsequent matches etc.
He put his head down and trained hard and when he got his chance eventually he smashed it. Harry Maguire has had a similar arc, playing his best football since joining.
Unhealthy situation all round.
Difficult not to see shades of Princess Diana in Marcus Rashford.
Difficult not to see shades of Princess Diana in Marcus Rashford.
completely agree. turns out paris didn’t want either of them there.
Huh..
He's now comparable to Princess Di
Think you're thinking of Anthony Gordon mate
Apparently his agent has travelled to Milan to try and sort out a deal?
Exactly. 10 years ago they'd have gone to Milan, 15 years ago to PSG, and right now 2 Saudi. Unfortunately, that's the kind of club United was 5 years ago.
he’d love milan. it’s the fashion capital of europe, after stevenage.
Yeah true but it’s meaningless really, I hope he performs wherever he goes
It’s not working here and likely never will
I don't buy this to be honest. ETH set up the entire team around him and Bruno. The transition style football played to his strength but he completely lost form for last 1.5 seasons. I think he is a player who faces mental issues around too much pressure/expectations. When he is playing badly, he goes into his shell and when expected to carry United's attack he again buckles under pressure. His best performances have come when we had supporting attackers like Martial and Greenwood, etc.
Levy has always been an absolute Cnut towards us so If he's interested in Rashford, he should be made to pay top dollar or else feck off.
If an EPL team wants him, they should buy him.
We should definitely not sell him in PL. He is not Sancho, he is a player who has been able to do it in PL and we could end up strengthening a potential rival.
Milan would be a perfect city for him.
While I agree to most of this, he didn’t have the supporting attackers in ETH’s reign, he had Hojlund, Weghorst, a young Garnacho. He is ‘only’ effective in a certain system and hasn’t had that for some time.
He’s on a “roll up, roll up, who wants him?” tour of Europe
In a counter attacking system id give it to RashfordHuh..
He's now comparable to Princess Di
If Rashford visited a minefield, he’d run directly into the first mine. Diana at least avoided that
Son is still Spurs' best player, while Rashford has become a non-factor for us. I understand your concern, Son will turn 33 this summer, and it feels like we're heading down a familiar path. That said, I've always had a soft spot for him and would love to see him at United. Who do you think would make for a better swap deal?
Here are some off the top of my head:
Napoli: Victor Osimhen - Seems to be the best option, solves our strikers' issues. (High)
AC Milan: Rafael Leao - Dynamic winger who can fits in well in our midfield. (Medium)
Dortmund: Youssoufa Moukoko - Young exciting striker. (High)
PSG: Achraf Hakimi - Offers defensive stability and attacking width. (Low)
Arsenal: Gabriel Martinelli - Offers versatility and flair to our front line. (Low)
Spurs: Son is still Spurs' most standout player. Besides him who else? Solanke? Probably a decent option.
100% exactly what comes to mind when I think of Rashford.
I’d argue we’d be weakening one
You're right, it's never his fault
your scoring burned out long before your legend ever did.
This is a classic post. I wonder if Marcus has the same PR firm?
Anyone fancy Jamie Redknapp as manager these days?
