Rashford considering his future...

The vitriol in here coming from posters that had people believing OgS was the second coming last season on the back off Rashfords 21 goals is peak Caf. I can’t stand this squad but some people need to calm down.

He’s on a very long list of players who could leave but he’s not at the front of it.

Let's hope the club are not fecking idiots on this. The proposed avenues should be:

- If you want to leave, go ahead.

I hope for the love of god they don't offer him an new contract.

I have a terrible feeling they will, given his celebrity status along with being a beloved home grown player (although the love is fading fast with his efforts this year)

I was the biggest Rashford fan going until about 2 years ago. I knew he wasnt the finished article but felt that if he kept improving he could be up there with the best.
Then some real inconsistency started but we still saw some good performances.
Now he is showing absolutely nothing in both performance and attitude. Anyone who thinks he can turn this around is deluded. History tells us that starlets who decline in their early twenties are done and NEVER bounce back to the level of player we need.
It would be a blessing for the club if he left though I honestly dont know who would pay his current wages and the transfer fee we would want. I could not see a Premier club paying more than 40 million for him.

My thoughts exactly.

I hope that Leonardo sees Rashford as a Mbappe replacement which would be a win-win for everyone. Marcus will probably maintain his star status (?) in FR and we will do what any team that aims at winning trophies do - unload a hugely underperforming starlet with attitude issues (and world class PR agency).

I get the irrationality because you’re a fan but you can’t say to a player, stay till your contract expires then we’ll decide. You then find yourself in the situation we have with a Pogba, a disinterested player who’ll rock up somewhere next season & immediately look a better player than he has for us or he plays well whilst you’ve let the asset run his contract down so he can leave for free or bend the club over on terms.

I see this Summer as critical in the Rashford/United relationship because whoever comes in to manage him has to make a quick decision on him but letting his contract run to nothing isn’t an option, if he isn’t long for the club we need to sell & quick.
 
I would sell him to the Barcodes. I want the Old Trafford faithful to have a chance to give him the proper Carlos Tevez-like welcome he deserves in the context of what we have seen for several months and especially since yesterday.
 
Is it the back injury that ruined him? A year and half ago, (19-20) he looked genuinely world class.

In terms of fighting for aerial balls maybe, but most of the criticism is based on his attitude and application of skill. These thing don’t really depend on injury.
 
If you don't want to stay and fight for your place, win back your position... then piss off.
 
Jamie Carragher has rightfully singled him out for his lack of application. He pointed out a time where all our players attempted to press and he just stood, allowing City to easily bypass it. He's effectively the laziest player we have now and the subs of him and JLingz were the nails in the coffin.

He should leave for everyone's sake
 
I like Rashford, probably my favourite player at the club - think he's a great role model for the club off the pitch and I still think despite his absolutely terrible performances of late, there's a very good player in there given his strengths. If he wants to leave due to rightly being dropped due to his abject performances though, we should show him the door. There shouldn't be a single player in this squad who thinks they have a divine right to play. Earn your place in the squad or continue being a bit part player, simple

If Liverpool and City can accommodate players like Sterling, Mane, Salah, Firmino, KDB, Jesus, Mahrez and Grealish, then I'm sure we can accommodate Rashford in a similarly dominant way whilst still sticking to the gegen press philosophy. The problem isn't his willingness to work, it's the lack of confidence, lack of squad quality around him and a poor working environment/atmosphere. If we can get a decent squad harmony again coupled with a Rashford who isn't playing through the pain barrier like last season every game then i think he cam easily rediscover his best for us.

I dont understand the linkage between those players you mentioned and Rashford? They all have elite ability on the ball and are some of the hardest working players in the league?
 
If he’s looking for clarity, and even the likes of Carragher are slating him, how clear does it need to be?
 
There’s not one person in the dressing room who has the balls to go speak to Rashy and tell him to shut the feck up. The whole team is a bunch of pussies and selfish cnuts. Rashy has once again proved he only cares about himself, you want game time boy you go earn it. No free rides cos your a Mancunian.
 
PSG interested? I wouldn't even sign him for free.
 
What would anyone pay for him? Serious question. I can't imagine many/any of the big clubs being in for him. So that relegates him to 'Tier 2' clubs, would they be willing to fork out 50m on Rashford? I'm not sure. Maybe someone looking to make a splash like Newcastle but other than that I don't see anyone looking at him for more than 40m.
 
It's a sign of how low we've fallen when players like Rashford and Lingard get so much attention. We've lost truly great players in the past, from Stam to Beckham to Keane, and we got on with it and kept winning trophies. Now we win feck all whilst players who've achieved next to nothing grab the spotlight for being uncertain about their future, as if it's somehow big news if they were to leave.

Rashford isn't even a footnote in the incredible history of this club. I hope we cash in and replace him with someone who isn't a one trick pony with an IQ of a cabbage.
 
He's obviously not a bad player, just completely out of form and even then he's got some serious catching up to do as there have always been flaws to his game. But if he's the source of the leaks (or one of them) he can feck right off.

Has been discussed in the Player Performance thread but felt worthy of its own thread.

For me this is an incredibly sad story of a good player who was promoted above his talent after his sparkling start with United. The state of the club at the time meant they needed (ideally an academy graduate) to hang their hat on and he came along at the perfect time for them. In more stable times he would have had his breakout, calmed down, and then be loaned out for a year or two to develop further and come back a more rounded player.

But the club needed him so he stayed. Many of us throughout the time questioned the sporadic nature of his form, asking if he really was the next big thing or a flash in the proverbial pan (remember the Rashford vs Mbappe debates?). I feel, defending him, that he has been hugely let down by the last manager. In various acts of desperation he was called upon for ridiculous amounts of football whilst injured. However I do also believe that he has to take a fair share of personal responsibility here. Yes he's been injured, yes he'd been played in to the ground, but that doesn't excuse the regularity with which his people go to the media to whinge and moan about all sorts of issues.

The tweet above is just the latest example of the issues with modern players, who potentially believe they're better than they actually are. He's scored 5 goals so far this season, he doesn't press or race back to defend like his manager wants, so what does he do when the manager drops him? Does he look internally and ask what he needs to do to get back in the team, does he change attitude or style of play, or work harder to make the point to the manager when he comes on as a 65th minute sub? NO! He starts walking around the pitch with his hands on his hips after 10mins, then runs to the press talking about how he might need to go somewhere he's guaranteed first team football!

I think it's another example of the thin skin attitude which is the true cancer within our dressing room. What are your thoughts?

Good!! Rashford should go and check his own “market value” . Nothing wrong with it and tbh, Manchester United knows what he can offer and at what price. If we improve our clubs decision matrix than we will be fine and Rashford can find a better place to grow. A total win-win.
 
If they gave us 60 million I’d take the risk, big time. If we stuck that money towards a new hungrier player i reckon we’d be a better and more hardworking team for it. His numbers may be hard to replace but his performance and influence on your average game will not. He often holds our play back. We try to press now, whose the second worst presser after Ronaldo? He at the very least needs to realise that pressing is great and dribbling into everyone while losing the ball every single time you get it is shite.

Free agent next summer. His wages is an issue for many clubs though.

Another one we've let go into the last year:lol:

Well give him a new tasty contract. He knows only United will offer that and he's on a lovely salary for another 5 years if he plays his cards right.
 
Oh he has two years on his contact. He'll renew before he goes into the final year. No chance we let our golden boy go (since the real one turned our to be a psychopath). He'll have a decent few games eventually and well hand him a new deal.

Having a bad run of form for a while but from a young age he was better for us in his favoured position than Martial or Depay so I don’t know where you get this loan stuff from?
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to a post that has ‘source close to Man Utd forward tell me’ in it :lol: :lol:

Jaime Jackson seems to be a mouthpiece for the club. He wrote a few puff pieces for Woodward as well iirc.
 
The Rashford who scored 20+ goals 2 years ago would easily worth around 70-90m or more. The Rashford we have seen over past 1.5 years would only worth around 30-40m at most.

I think 50-60m would be fair price on him, given his current poor form but promised shown before.
 
I can drop him off at the airport for what its worth. And I dont even live in England.

He is because even in Sir Alex’s days apart from the obvious class we didn’t have that many incredible youth prospects.

Rashford is up there with all but the most esteemed title winners. Plus off the field the man has been a giant.

So much respect for him as a person and he will be remembered fondly no matter if he leaves or stays.

All true but it's irrelevant when discussing his future at United and if he continues to underperform then amicable parting in the Summer should suit both the parties .

Any offer above 35 m should atleast bring United to the negotiation table and both United as well Rashford should be reasonable in their expectations .
 
His demeanour on the pitch has been of someone convinced by his own yes men that he has three bollocks for quite a while now. The humble facade is slipping too with the barely disguised ‘don’t you know who I am?’ undertones to his various PR essays and leaked stories to mouthpiece journalists.

Meanwhile fans still indulge in this bizarre munchausen by proxy game where everything from new injuries, invented love life problems and make-believe mental health issues are diagnosed to excuse nearly two years of looking awful.

Seriously. Rashford + 30 for Son would be brilliant

Yikes. No it won’t be. Typical way of thinking like those clueless twats at united in charge. What value do you put on Son ? 70m ? 80m ? Who will be 30 yrs in July this summer. So you want us to do the same mistake which we have been doing for the last 10 yrs ? Right from Woodward’s book.
