Think you're overeacting a bit or not reading posts properly. I'm asking for a more measured approach to wages. Rather than the desperate give them what they want to keep them approach of the last 10 years.
Like any other player. Look at their form over the medium to long term rather than what's just happened. Look at at what other players around his level are being paid. Avoid another Martial, DDG etc.
I'm not fussed about europa league stats. We shouldn't be on the same pitch as some of these teams. Same goes for all the players. If Maguire and McTominay perform well against FC Sheriff who cares?
At the top level, In the league, from Jan 2020 to the world cup he scored about 12 league goals and had 10 assists.
So all I'm saying the club should be looking at the broader picture, not just the last 12 weeks.
Looking at his game over the last two years I don't see why he should be on anymore than Saka or Foden, England's other top wide players.
But we know United. It's the club that offered Pogba a new contract.
All you are doing is, picking his worst form period and assuming that's his normal level or regular occurrence.
You take Saka as an example, now why should he be paid any less than Sterling, Lukaku? Or why should Sancho be at his level in wages when their performances is so different. Why should Varane deserve more money when Rashford's performance and contribution to ManUtd is much higher than what Varane offered?
You don't have to consider his performance vs FC sheriff, his performance in big games is among the best in the league, consistently scoring vs big clubs. That's why there is a dedicated thread for that. His PL numbers are good too, goal or assist every 130 mins is a good record, for a player who started at 18 and played under some poor coaches where our attacking play was so disjointed.
Also no, first half of the season he wasn't average. For the first time in years, Rashford was playing well without even scoring or assists. That was discussed is many games this season, especially before world cup. Ii you just want to go with goals or assists as good game then you can't call his 2020-21 season as average, he was among top players in top 5 leagues for goals + assists. Also yes, he was poor and absolutely shit last season, luckily this is not last season and we are much changed team. In Rashford's career, last season was exception. Apart from that he was always good when it comes to goals/assists.
Like I said multiple times already, he averages 120 mins per Goal contribution and 130 mins in PL. Why should that be ignored and only his poor form considered for his new contract? Any player who contributes to 35-40 goals, how much will he cost and how much wages we would be paying on top of that?
Rashford had scored 3 goals in 5 games in all comps leading up to the world cup and was putting in standout performances in most league games from September onwards. Most people were surprised that he was only given 5 minutes vs France, given he was England's top scorer in the competition.
