Yeah I’m not expert on PSR but £60m for a homegrown talent, from my little understanding, would give us a good bump to spend - even if we were to pay Rashford £20m or so - once off (as I doubt either party would want to structure it into a weekly wage). Alas, I’ll leave it to those better informed wrt PSR to add in.

Haha yeah good luck finding someone daft enough to pay that when he's on £300k plus a week
Brutal
We clearly have to stop giving out these insane contracts to players who aren't worth or don't appreciate it.
Brutal summary, but I don't doubt this is the most likely result.

Reckon word of him to Napoli might pick up with the Georgian fella off to Paris
Im sure that Conte would love to pick up another Manchester United/Premier League reject

He’s going to AC Milan.
Not with the squad again apparently
Oh dear.
Looks like it's irretrievable.

Hope not. When was last time when they paid big fee for a player? Cheap bastards
Rashford to Barcelona on loan with all his wages covered sounds like a pipe dream. Milan on half his wages sound much more realistic. Hopefully a loan this winter is the first step towards a permanent sale in the summer, can just see a bit of a meltdown when he is loaned out and no replacement comes in.
With Kvara PSG bound, Napoli and Osimhen seem the best we can hope for. Anything less will be pretty underwhelming.
The summer is when we'll sell him. Just gambling on him performing at AC to put him in the shop window
I don't believe this, one bit. His PR has been saying that he is United born and bread, yet, he has shown some unfathomable low level of performances for us for 2 years now. I mean, it took Amorim 2 sessions to see that he has checked out.
What that PR line serves for is to show to potential buyers that Rashford really plans to put a shift in once he signs for a respectable club in Europe. In reality, he will get his move to a good club, his marketing appeal won't take a hit with him staying in Europe, and he will continue to be a shadow of himself. I wish him nothing but the best if he moves on, however sincerely doubt that we will ever see him in a England shirt.
only if he sacks his PR team and buckles down.
I don't actually believe he wants to be back in the England team. I believe he's saying that because that's what someone says to try and convince people he is still motivated.
Maybe he is training better and he's not being player to avoid injury risk during the window. Do get the feeling it's all noise and we'll be offered terrible loan terms and turn them down.
That would actually be quite hilarious if we finally got Ten Hag’s dream player months after Ten Hag departed.
Anyway, where did it all go wrong for Rashford? I think he tailed off when he kept playing with that back injury and delayed surgery to be able to be picked for England. He hasn’t looked threatening since then. I still think he’s got a lot to offer but maybe in this new Amorim job system there’s no place for him? He’s not a real winger and we don’t play balls in behind, so he’s off man out. Maybe this is just the right time to part ways.
So since demand is what determines price then we shouldn't be selling him when demand is at the absolute lowest. The only people that do that are panic sellers.
1. Clubs spend less in the winter
2. Rashford isn't playing and when he has been playing he has been out of form.
Therefore if you use logic then we should send him on loan, let him find some form and sell him in the summer when clubs have bigger budgets for transfers. It's just common sense.
From the reports it seems that Juventus, Milan, Monaco, Barca and Dortmund are interested in loans. So there is demand but clubs are hesitant to buy right now. If he plays well then we can sell him in the summer.
Some of you seem to be Arsenal fans and not United supporters. It only helps Arsenal to sell him for £20 Million. And yes, if Arsenal want to buy him then they need to explain why they had £65M for Havertz. Hopefully, INEOS are better at business than some of you commenting. We are laughably bad at selling players. We basically give players away. We have been buying high and selling low for years. That has to change.
And yes, Rashford is capable of playing well in a top club in an easier league.
Because hes costing us money and we have no intention of playing him. We want to buy, we need to sell to help that.
We have no idea which reports have anything in reality though.
Milan are going to step it up. Another game of creating 50 sitters and barely scoring a goal? Yeah, they're gonna try and get this done
We are not getting Osimhen. Not with Ratcliffe
anyone else suspicious about all this reported interest?
I mean, he's fecking shit
I mean, he's fecking shit
I can confirm he is 100% United born and bred. At the club 2 decades and born a stones throw from the ground. It’s not PR it’s factual.
No it’s because most clubs think they can get him on loan for no obligation to buy and most of his wages paid by us.
they'd be right of course, because he's shit
Nope. Makes no difference whatsoever. Both would hit the income statement right away. It's solely so Rashford and the club can look better for PR purposes.
We did the same with AWB this summer. A substantial part of his transfer fee was funneled back to him to get him to forego free agency in 2025. But it looks better for him and the he club if he's isn't sold for peanuts, so the transfer fee got the headlines.
I don't think there's any way we're getting all Rashford's wages off the books AND some big transfer fee. IMO we'd be fortunate just to be rid of the wages.
Thanks bud, makes sense. Yeah it definitely won’t be a big transfer fee plus getting rid of the wages.
All Rashford cares about is himself. The last 2 years have shown that
I’d take the gamble on a loan with no obligation to buy. Never been his biggest fan but do think if he goes elsewhere he’ll probably be reinvigorated and find enough form and score enough goals to convince someone he is at least worth a 60 mil punt.
If not then you sell him in the summer for this 20 mil that everyone seems to think he is worth.

Again we are haunted by our daft wage/contract decisions. Despite his atrocious form, £60m for Rashford is a very fair price (we’re talking Brennan Johnson money).
Fecking Woodward and his mates.
The only club that actually seem to genuinely want him is West Ham. Too old for Chelsea, too expensive for Barca, Milan, Juventus, too egotistical for Saudi. Not good enough for Arsenal.
I genuinely hope we sell him, there will be uproar here because he’ll play great for someone else and our coaches will get the blame but he checked out a long while back and although he’ll play better elsewhere he’ll eventually check out again.

Absolutely. No one is going to touch him unless it’s a loan and us paying most of his wages. Otherwise he’d be gone because he does have a good reputation outside of United. His wages are just ridiculous for a player of his talent though.
Like Casemiro, both will be here next month and not even playing. I feel for Amorin having to sort this out.
Absolutly. And suppose he does get a loan and starts playing well, it shows not that United is broken, more that how unprofessional he has been these last few years. Same with Sancho - starts putting a shift in now he’s back in London.
They’ll both be gone but we’ll be two players down and still have them on the wage bill.
It’s really frustrating, if he was on a ‘normal’ contract of £150-200k, from a PSR perspective he’d be a big asset to be cashed in
Y'all are somehow ignoring the elephant in the room: Rashford's not playing. Not even getting called up for games anymore
Teams understand that taking Rashford off your hands right now would be doing you a favour - he's effectively a sunk cost to United. Why should they pay serious money to help United out, for a player whose level is currently an unknown?

His PR team are always trying to butter the fans up. He's toast now though, he's gone stale and has been putting in half baked performances for the last two years, he is well past his sell by date.
I fear we're too far gone to do that without the risk of undermining Amorim's position. It's difficult to find the wages the PL can offer elsewhere. If he does well, and we get a better fee, but the wages aren't satisfactory to him, he can easily leak that he's proven himself, doesn't want to leave and that the manager is the problem for not building the team around him. The press will be all over us and, from a tactical perspective, we'd be in the same place we were before this whole saga began.
If Milan go for Walker they’re out of the race for him. It must sting that a club would choose the ghost of Kyle Walker over Rashford in his prime.
I'd sell him for 20-30 million just to be rid of him and his hilarious wages. Anyone thinking United are getting any more than that is living in Dreamland. This is not some 21-year-old prospect you are selling here, it's overpaid dross that is closer to 30.
Not at all. If the club is worried about protecting Amorim all they have to do is exclude him from the team and make it clear the decision comes from above Amorim
