Marcus Rashford (out)

Rashford at Dortmund with ETH would be hilariously funny
 
Didn’t Mitten then partially u-turn on his comments? I also find it implausible any manager was tasked with getting the best out of any one player, rather than the team generally - who has said that was the case?

Also, it’s utter nonsense that Ole was “forced to apologise” to Rashford. He, very sensibly, clarified his comments probably because it wasn’t seen as a good look FOR THE CLUB to be suggesting football was more important than food for kids.

I don't recall Andy Mitten U-Turned on anything. If so please post it in here.

It seem to me is that Rashford was being backed by the Glazers which explains why he remained here despite successive managers having issues with him, his ridiculously high salary (which placed him ahead of Salah for many years), the manager apologizing to him in public, something that would be unthinkable under Sir Alex, the way the club tried to bury Belfast gate and the speed Rashford fount himself back in the team after that. He's not the only player who was protected at United btw. According to the media Martial was on that very same boat as well.

Under such circumstances no manager could touch him. Which explains why Rashford's fall of grace conceded with INEOS taking control over the football side of the club. If Amorim was working under a pure Glazer regime then rest assured he'd have to kiss the ring just like every manager we had so far. Else he won't survive for long.
 
Rashford is capable of being a very productive player in the right team.

He made up a percentage based on the fact that he doesn't like the player. No data, no metrics. And when I called him out he decided that he doesn't care about percentages. Odd.

Arsenal spent £65 Million on Havertz and gave him £285k per week so stop talking to me about salaries and transfer fees.

It's really odd the lengths you are going through to devalue our player. I'm actually a supporter, I want the club to be better at selling. The good that he has done and is capable of doing in the future also matters. You seem to want us to sell players only based on the negative. That's not how business works. You want us giving away players for a Tesco gift card.

And he went clubbing? Ohhh nooo haha. Stop

His value is low, so common sense tells you to send him on loan and let him raise his value. Very simple.

Name the player in world football with Rashford stats that we can go buy for £20M. Go...
You are toally deluded if you think Rashford is going to command a fee anywhere near that of Havertz because other teams have seen his lack of application, plus his astronomical wages.
 
If he doesn't move, this January, we shouldn't reward him with a welcome back hug and sweep this under the carpet. We should show him and future hold outs that we are also willing wreck them, throw the whole Maresca-on-Sterling treatment on him; ban him from the first team, take the jersey number away and deregister him.

Show him that if he still wants to have a chance to play in the World Cup then it's not going to come cheap, he has to sacrifice to get a move and if he doesn't we are more than willing to end his career. If he has any hunger left in him he will do the needful, if not he becomes an example.
I like this scorched earth approach
 
Was Harry permanent?

Will they have to fund ALL of Rashfords salary on loan? Doubt it very much.

Also - they are absolutely desperate for a forward. Were they absolutely desperate for a CB?

Make no mistake about it, Rashford is a far bigger coup than Maguire would ever be - and let’s face it no matter what publicity Rashford has had, you can clearly see the lad just wants to play football every week.
Can you?

Surely if he did he would tring had in training and on the pitch.

You mean you can clearly see he isn't interested in football?

A new manager appointed, Rashford is in Miami, LA or wherever he went... doesn't care about impressing the new coach.

A new coach has started, United are due to play a derby on the weekend but Rashford is out partying on Thursday, another sign of his attititude towards football.

Rashford on the pitch, does not try off the ball, another sign of his attitude.

The manager criticises Rashford and Garnacho, one buckled down and the other went crying to a journalist talking about a fresh challenge.

These are just things he has done since Amorim came, he has been like this for years. Ralf warned us about it, Ten Hag had issues with him too.

Rashford has the PR of CR7 but the attitude of a sunday league player.

You must be totally deluded since you conveniently just skipped over the part where I have repeatedly said that he needs to go on loan to raise his value. Also never said we will get exactly £65 Million, however we shouldn't be selling for £20M either. His wages are comparable to Havertz, Havertz isn't an all action player himself and Rashford is more talented than Havertz.
 
That’s a chance we have to take though. The reality is that his performances this season for us would be sufficient for him to put up good numbers in Germany or Italy, with some decent supply. Unless his performances get worse on loan, which seems unlikely, I can only see there being an upside.

Of course, we don’t know whether there is more off-field drama than has been briefed. If he goes to Milan and is constantly in Milan nightclubs then that wouldn’t be helpful. You’d imagine his own team will be doing everything they can to make sure he’s focussing on football for at least the rest of the season though.
Exactly. Common sense tells us that Rashford is capable of producing in a better team in a weaker league. He has done it for us in patches so there no reason he can't do it somewhere else in the right environment. However, people have this hatred of Rashford so they will never admit it.

A loan might have the opposite effect, its a dice roll.
 
I have not ignored wages. Arsenal paid £65 Million for Havertz and gave him £285K. Rashford is more talented than Havertz. So no we should not give away Rashford to Arsenal for £20M. Stop talking to me about wages and transfer fees. I'll repeat myself AGAIN..Rashford has to go on loan to raise his value, as I have said repeatedly.
Even if he is he hasn't shown it for the past two years, at least.

You're even more deluded if you think him going on loan somewhere will improve his value. We need to sell now before he is exposed to the greater football world as the fraud he is. The more he plays the lower his value goes.

Weren't there reports coming out, think it was under Mourinho, that Martial wasn't for sale because he was one of the Glazers favourites? I feel I remember something like that coming out. So I can definitely believe that Rashford, being a MU kid and everything, was protected as well.

TBF there's a reason behind the madness. United is a huge sponsorship juggernaut. That beast always needed a face whether its Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo or Rashford. That doesn't come instantly. Time and PR is invested on the player and when he leaves he ends up taking a chunk of that with him. I remember an old interview were they basically explained how Real Madrid kickstarted their sponsorship empire by taking Beckham away from us.

In the past football always came before business. Its evident that after SAF retired the priorities flipped with Woodward naively thinking that success doesn't matter at a club like Manchester United as money will keep flowing in either way. Thus the club started protecting their 'assets' more even to the expense of football success who was relegated to a 'nice to have' rather then our main goal.

Oh I know, it's still stupid and "suicidal" football wise, because look where we are now because those greedy idiots acted like that. Sadly football (and Man Utd) is becoming more and more a business than a sport. Woodwards "Disney world" selling point is a perfect example of that.
 
Yeah it would be interesting if this is based off stats or simply Ruben seeing a player who is not visibly giving their all. The latter would be crazy given he was a new manager in and usually that is when players will put in the extra effort.

I always imagined it might be the pressure of playing that got to him - early on I swear remember managers talking about him having a good attitude (LVG, Mou) but then I guess it waned. These days you can see him try but as soon as he loses the ball or someone goes past him, his head drops and you feel like he's given up.
Yeah he's someone who needs help but likely won't seek it out because of the people around him.

People have even posted what Ole said in these threads but some posters still harp on spreading misinformation.

Yes Rashford is being problematic. No need to exaggerate like is common with football fans. Always with the extremes.

Can we not use nuance? It's so hard to see all the time that we can't expect that from the debates.

Mitten didn't do a u-turn. He just clarified that it wasn't as serious as others interpreted it and he said still believes in Marcus. That doesn't sound like someone who thinks he's a bad person or bad influence.
Rashford's issues with managers based on the information in the public have not been anything major regarding disrespect or anything close to being banned. It's him not being professional all the time and slacking off then getting back to it in a roller coaster fashion and not unlocking his full potential.
 
16 days in and still no movement. Rashers,casemiro and anthony. Lads take the hint and do one. Dragging their heels to get paid more towards end of window probably.
 
I have heard some bad things about him, from people who hang about in those circles.

He is apparently out all night in casinos and china whites nightclub. He has literally stuck 2 fingers up to his career, and he doesn't seem to care. He is an extremely wealthy man already, but has unfortunately crawled up his own back package.

Amorim is spot on getting him out of the way. We are embarking on an epic journey. Either you get on the bus and take part, or get off now.
 
Mount is a mediocre player many levels below what Rash have shown in the past 8 years. On top of that he is a nothing player, he secured a contract on the same level if Rashford.

Every one involved in signing mount should be fecking investigated.
He is, but it's all about perception. Mount was 23 when we signed him, people were still talking about his MOTM performance in the CL and the time he was Chelsea's POTY. The perception of Rashford is at the lowest it's ever been, really. And he's not been in the squad for over 8 matches.
 
You named outliers and have conflated that with 'plenty'. The exception doesn't disprove the rule.
Suarez and RVP are 2 of the best ever strikers and their teams weren't as bad as this current team. We have 23 points in 20 matches with a negative goal difference. All of our players are inconsistent. We are a historically bad team for a club of our size.

You think Lewa playing against Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia and Moldova helps his goal scoring record? Because I do. Poland are better than many of the teams they play. You aren't making the point that you think you are.

As I said before, Postecoglou said that Salah would struggle at Spurs because the elements aren't there for him to perform but I'm sure you think you know more than a manager.

The best players generally play in the best teams. Most players levels will drop as the team performs worst. We can always name exceptions that doesn't mean the rule is no longer true.
On the other hand, someone being paid a world class equivalent wage should be showing an awful lot more on the pitch than Rashford has.

He doesn't even put an effort in, just strolls around as if he's too good to work hard.
 
Are Dortmund planning to get him on loan or is it a permanent deal?
Dortmund are a poor underdog story who regularly sell all their best players for silly money but never spend any of that money and never win anything. They aren't a serious football club, so expect a loan where they pay about 10% of his salary.
 
Even if he is he hasn't shown it for the past two years, at least.
THE TEAM hasn't shown it. THE TEAM has 23 points in 20 matches with a negative goal difference. THE TEAM has lost multiple games with Rashford out of the team. Tell the entire situation. You are leaving out information to make your point which makes you disingenuous.

Yes, Rashford has some responsibility but so does the club. ALL of our players are inconsistent. We don't have any world class players in our team. You should step out of fantasy land so you can stop pretending that Rashford is surrounded by Ballon D'or winners and he is this one awful outlier.

Havertz has played in better Arsenal and Chelsea teams. You ramble on about nonsense. This personal vendetta that you have against a player that you don't know personally is very odd. You need mental help.
 
Weren't there reports coming out, think it was under Mourinho, that Martial wasn't for sale because he was one of the Glazers favourites? I feel I remember something like that coming out. So I can definitely believe that Rashford, being a MU kid and everything, was protected as well.
Tbf I would have told Mourinho to feck off as well, he wanted a 20 year old top talent sold for fecking Perisic, and then later benched him for a washed Sanchez.
 
You're even more deluded if you think him going on loan somewhere will improve his value. We need to sell now before he is exposed to the greater football world as the fraud he is. The more he plays the lower his value goes.
No I'm not deluded in thinking a talented player who will be playing in a better team in a weaker league will perform better..it's actually common sense.

Hahaha some of you are odd with this 'fraud' nonsense. Grow up kid.

His value is at the lowest, won't go lower unless he literally commits a crime. You don't sell a player when his value is absolutely its lowest especially when the club own actions have driven down his value.
 
Exactly. We Took him out of the squad, told the entire world we don't want him. We did everything possible to devalue the player. That's why I said the only solution right now is to loan him so that he can try to raise his value again.
You don't think him openly refusing to try hasn't reduced his worth? You don't think that, maybe, this is the reason he's not in the squad? Or his well reported gallivanting around going on the piss? It's just the club's fault, right?
 
93 pages and 10 million updates from media and all of this will result in a loan for 6 months to AC Milan with Utd paying half the wages. We may as well keep him and use him off the bench when your front line are tired.
Unless he changes his attititude completely I don't ever want to see him anywhere near the first team again.
 
My point is that even great players will decline in an awful team. The reality is that Haaland scores goals for fun at City but would struggle at United. Is Haaland not worth his wage?

We are currently 6 points above the relegation zone with a squad that cost hundreds of millions. We have 23 points in 20 matches with a negative goal difference. We are a historically bad team for a club of our size. It's just a fact.

Again, Suarez and RVP never played in teams as bad as this United team so it's an absurd comparison. Even if you want to compare them, both Suarez and RVP would earn significantly more than Rashford. They would both easily be on £500k+.

It's very difficult to judge our players because we are just a terribly run club. We have spent £1.6 Billion on players in the past 12 years and none of them have produced consistently. Even Bruno was awful to start this season. Common sense says it's no longer only an individual player problem.

All of you who criticize Rashford never want to admit how awful we are, so your arguments are disingenuous . Yes Rashford is responsible for his career but clubs need to provide an environment for players to produce. As I said before, Postecoglou said Salah would struggle at Spurs. Salah is better than Rashford and Spurs are ahead of us in the table. So even he agrees with me.

Send Rashford on loan to a better team in an easier league so he can raise his value. Rashford is capable of producing in the right environment.
What about the seasons previous to this one?
 
On the other hand, someone being paid a world class equivalent wage should be showing an awful lot more on the pitch than Rashford has.

How much he's being paid is irrelevant, I would expect any professional footballer to be putting more effort in, if he was only being paid 20K a week it still wouldnt be acceptable
 
What about the seasons previous to this one?

Rashford’s bad seasons pretty much correlate to when we’ve been bad as a team. Now, there’s a fair argument that he could have done more in those seasons and instead went into a negative spiral himself. However, whenever we’ve had a (relatively) happy and functional team around him he’s tended to produce.

Of course, it’s possible he has totally lost his way now. However, I’d like to see him in a different environment before concluding that’s definitely the case.
 
We need to stop with these loans. Either sell or leave them home. Surely there’s a club that would want him. It’s his stupid wage demands that make it impossible. That’s his own choice though.
 
No idea how to link on here but the latest statement on his Instagram, No idea what he's on about or who the rapper is

There's far too much noise around him, no one is bigger than the club. Hope we can get him shifted
