Marcus Rashford (out)

I’m sure that are a few suitors keeping their powder dry until we get close to the end of the window - they will try and shaft Utd by offering very little in terms of wages contribution knowing we need him out of the club.

Not sure if Ineos will allow themselves to have their pants pulled down on this one though…..

Could be a case of who blinks first…..
Or who has to drop the pants first
 
Demonstrates to the rest of the squad that certain standards are expected of them, and failure to strive to meet those standards has consequences, even for the most high profile players. This is something the club has not taken a consistent approach to since 2013 unfortunately.
Fair enough but a very expensive lesson - things aren't normally as black and white as has been reported.

there are a number of factors to consider based on facts and assumptions

If Rashford is the unprofessional figure he's painted to be maybe we would have grounds to sack him?

if this is just a player who isn't giving his best we can discipline him?

I know that the fact that's he's homegrown, the big salary, the loss of form, the discipline issues, INEOS cost-cutting make him an ideal player to leave but given the stupid deal he's on we might end up keeping him

It would be self-harm to continue to waste an expensive resource. Lots of assumption in all of this but is this how Rashford wants to see the next few years of his career? Would it not be preferable to get him back on board? better for us, better for him.

In my mind 80% of what you hear is bullshit on Rashford anyway. It's a sad state of affairs and hopefully we can resolve it soon with a transfer away.

Think he will deffo leave on loan by the end of the month even if we end up getting our pants pulled down on wage % but should he stay he's a player we need pulling in the right direction for us
 
If we get no other deal could we loan him to Kilmarnock or someone at our cost to just give him a get real message before the summer window?
 
speaks volume that our one of the highest paid footballer cannot find another club to play him in 4 weeks.
 
If he doesn’t accept the offer from another club and move on, he is basically saying that he has no ambition to get back into the England fold. Any players who genuinely wants to put football first, would accept a pay cut … otherwise he can take his £325k a week and effectively waste his career.
 
Definitely that kind of player, definitely not one to cry to the media and say he can see his future elsewhere when dropped
If no one wants him enough to pay actual money then he only has 1 option-which given he loves the club and is desperate to get picked for England again then it becomes a no brainer for the lad. He has to toe the managers line and put in a shift.

If he loves the club, I can’t see why he’d do that Winter interview, at that moment, and say maybe it’s time for a new start.

He could let clubs know he’d take a much lower wage… to help a transfer through, help him get first football again, help him make a new start.

Get himself an actual agent might be a good start too.
 
he has had plenty of chances to make it looks like he gives a feck out there on the pitch, and hasnt done so yet. At this point it is clear he has an inflated ego, and if he doesnt move elsewhere seems to value getting as much of his paycheck as possible vs getting playing time. Never understood players in his situation. You have already made enough money youll never have to worry about it again (barring just absolutely stupid spending habits), but you only have so long of a career to make a difference. Even just 100k a week at this point in his life would continue to make him a wealthy person. Instead enjoy your paycheck and not playing for club or country anymore, and def will never be regarding as a world class player.
 
What a brilliant move by Rashford, well played, timeline:

* New manager comes in, demands everyone runs like dogs.

* Can't be arsed and continues partying late into the night and turns up in training lethargic, then denied it. Then has the cheek to do again and lie again.

* Does infamous interview saying it's time to move on, reportedly enlists a top agency to find him a move.

* Backfires, as hardly anyone is interested and the clubs that are cool it (Napoli, Juve) and AC Milan who went as far to start negotiations, pulls out and is going all out for a washed up Kyle Walker.

Whilst all this is going on, he is frozen out of all game squads. Hopefully this is a reality check and he lowers his demands.

I guess he's not too bothered about finding that new challenge, or getting back into the England team. But no one is surprised. His PR is blatantly bullshit. It's all about the money and the ego with him
 
I will never understand why players employ their family as agents. Get a fecking professional. How many clients does Dwayne Maynard have, has he ever facilitated a transfer?

It always seems a bit suspect and very unprofessional having family members represent players, not least considering the vast sums of money involved in agents fees nowadays.

If he loved the club and wanted to play for England again, he’d have turned up and performed in practice all year and given a feck on the field. You’ve clearly drunk his PR kool-aid. He ain’t playing for England again and hopefully not us.
 
I genuinely wonder if the lack of interest from top clubs has been surprising to him. His interview with Winter reads like someone who thinks he's too good for the club and is ready to move on to bigger and better things.

The sentence before is equally laughable.

Hard work, determination and drive for constant improvement!! The complete opposite of their clients then

Haha
The 6 listed clients

Marcus Rashford - brother
Cuba diboe- playing for Aberystwyth
Finlay Lockett - without club (good job lads)
Chantelle boye hlorkah - decent career in wsl
Brooklyn Genisini - National league south
Louis Maynard - brother. Looks to be retired

He really needs to end his ‘jobs for the boys’ attitude and actually get a proper agent/agency representing him
