A lot of footballers do a lot for charity, and dont feel the need to harp on about it every 5 minutes to distract from the fact they are playing like a 3 legged pony trying to run the grand national.
Rashford - New contract or sell?

@golden_blunder can you add a poll?
New contract ? WTF ?
I'll sell. Don't care as long as he's not rewarded with a contract he absolutely doesn't deserve.

The obvious answer is neither. Would be irresponsible to give a new deal at this point. Tell him if he plays well enough next season, it'll be offered. That's the sort of incentive that really motivates this lot.
I’d sell. Personally he’s always been abit overrated even at his best. I still much preferred an inform martial for Rashford.
But this isn’t obvious because then Utd take on more risk. What if next season Rashfords form explodes but he decides he doesn’t what a new deal? We are back in the disruptive Pogba scenario. The club either believes in him (new deal) or we cut ties and sell and make as much profit while we can.
I'm against letting him go, impossible that his form doesnt pick up eventually. My god i've made some excuses for him. Even thought him getting back with his Mrs would sort it
The departing toxic influence of J Lingz is what I'm hanging my hat on now.
Just rip his contract apart and have security escort him out of the back door.
Same with lingard.
Same with lingard.
We need a poll after the season finishes on which players need to be sold.
If we get a good deal, def sell.
I’m sure the likes of Newcastle would be looking to make some statement signings this summer. We shd cash in.

Sell. He's a striker, not a winger.
Sell - he has already hit his ceiling and will never be more than a bit part player going forward. Buy a proper world class striker in the summer.
To mitigate risk, sell abroad and not to another English club.

This is why agents and PR teams exist. A lot of people really are this gullible.
Any chance of a thread poll?
Now that Sancho is here, apparently going to be the main LW/LF, and Rashford can't play at RW/RF for some unknown reason (I understand preferences among the players in general, but lately, he seems he lost any footballing ability, again for some unknown reasons), I'm afraid his time is up unless he improves. Especially on that wage.
I think someone like Olise, could be an interesting prospect for that still problematic RW position. Not a speed merchant, but definitely more like Sancho who is a wide playmaker (from the 5 minutes I spent scouting him on the Youtube). Plus, he seems more like a cool/level headed type in comparison to the likes of Raphinha, and Bruno.

Mods too afraid to add a poll in case Rashford’s PR team order a hit on Niall. Isn’t even a debate at this point.
New contract if it can be a downgrade to 150k and him accepting a squad player role.
What can they do from a legal point of view?
£150k per week for a squad player at a club that isn't even in the CL?
None of us know either way, nothing to do with being gullible.
You don’t know for a fact though, and i don’t think it’s ridiculous for PSG or Barca to be interested personally.
It’s a pointless argument anyway, my point is that I wouldn’t sell him and I can see why other clubs (whether true or not) would be interested. Appreciate that’s not everyone’s opinion however, just mine.
Sell abroad like mark Hughes
insert buy back
insert buy back
If be ok with this.
Move to Spain or Germany would be very good for him. I think he would do very well and regain confidence. Insert a buy back clause and bring him back in 2 years if it works. The wages he would still demand even with his performances are not worth extending.
Sell. Need to revamp the squad big time. Pogba, Rashford, Lingard, Jones, Bailly, Martial, Mata, Matic, Cavani all out, Maguire if Newcastle will take him and build in the RB mold.
Sell. But only because his renewed contract would increase not decrease. I would resign him on lower wages because it would be easier to sell him for a higher fee if this form is permanent. 150k gross per week max (that's about 85k net or about €5m euros per season) instead or his current 200k. He would then have a chance under the new manager to prove himself and would just about be buyable for most clubs here and abroad. I think his issue is mostly in his head. Two bad injuries together playing in pain followed by a long period out. With a lower salary you could afford to give him a little more time as we have so many issues in other areas. He's 24 and got 20 goals in each of his last 2 seasons. That's good enough for a left winger / inside forward. 93 goals in 297 games, clubs will want him for a decent fee if his wages were lower.

I'd offer him a new contract with a lower base salary that has bonus incentives. There is a player in there, he's just been going through a tough time. I like how Ralf has been rotating him and Elanga so he can hopefully play his way through this. Mind you, I'm at the point now where I'd rather just see Bruno played on the one wing and Sancho on the other....
Sell. Has achieved nothing in football but acts like he's made it, when in fact, his development is heading in the wrong direction. Too many personal awards, too much praise has inflated his ego. Giving him a contract worth more than a lot of the City and Liverpool players hasn't helped either.
First his back injury fecked him, then the shoulder injury, then missing the penalty for England.
He is playing like dogshit at the moment but I don't think we should sell one of our own too soon.
He deserves another season of being healthy and a chance to get over the clear mental difficulties he's experiencing at the moment.
I'd like to see a combo of Rangnick and Ten Hag work on his game. If he doesn't gey back to his best or improve further then you can sell him next summer.

Poll needs a middle ground, “wait and see how he performs when a new coach is on board” or words to that effect.
Yea i agree. This is my thinking.
That poll is abusive.
I do think it's a bit in the middle.
Rashford, getting a bit of his form back, would be a good squad player in a title chasing side. There are so many issues with the forward positions at the moment that if you could have Rashford on a reasonable contract, somewhat happy to be a squad player, then I would keep him. However, if he isn't going to be content doing that (in an Origi/Minamino style way) or a top offer comes in for him, then sell.
The way the poll is worded makes you think about giving him a big payday contract and have him as the starting striker, which absolutely shouldn't be happening.

but thats what a new contract will be, especially here
Sell for nothing less than 60million.
How could anyone think that he'd take a massive paycut? He'd just let the contract negotiation runs down to 1 year left on his contract, then screw United over with higher wage demand or let him go for cheap.

It seems to be their aim to bring a 'new contract or he goes' ultimatum by the end of this season.
They're doing this because they know the club aren't wanting to offer any sort of improved terms to such a woefully performing player. In fact the new manager might even have considerations with Rangnick and Murtough about whether there's value in triggering the extra year in his current deal.
Also it's daft to suggest offering him a new deal with a big pay slash, that's literally the same answer as selling him. No way does Mr. Ego accept a pay cut, even if he has struggled to trap a football in the last 18 months.

Because nobody in the Championship is going to pay him 200 grand a weekHow could anyone think that he'd take a massive paycut?
I'd give him one more season to sort himself out with the new manager and activate the one year extension. If he continues playing as he has next season, I'd sell him.
Well, your answer is correct by itself.
