Antony is actually 1 month older than Sancho and has the lowest potential between the three of them in my opinion.Basically agree with you. Antony has potential as a squad player and is younger, so may improve. Wouldn’t miss him in the unlikely event we could find a buyer, mind you.
Also. Props for the thread title.
Isn’t it a four body problem if we include Greenwood?
What do we do with these three balls of gas ?
I think Rashford and Sancho have to be sold this summer. Their situations are too toxic and they are not worth the wages or the headache to the new manager.
I think we keep Antony. He can follow instructions and works hard. Wingers are notoriously streaky so maybe he has a good period and we sell him when his value is higher.
If we play a game Keep, Sell, Bench what's the caf going with?

Keep Rashford, sell the other two.
Sancho's performances at Dortmund have been hyped up again - he's been steady, and had one great CL game, but quiet overall with meh numbers. Definitely not worth either the wages or the discipline-based headache, ETH or otherwise. If we get Tuchel, maybe he can try and retrieve some value from this transfer, but I would not complain at all if we sold him. Quality with no desire or effort.
Antony is just a limited footballer. Lots of effort, shows desire, but no quality at all. Definitely sell, to whoever will buy without us subsidizing his wages. He simply cannot be given any more minutes at this club if we want to win games.
Rashford is the tricky one. There are patches when we've seen quality, desire, and effort from him, he's single handedly won us big games playing on the counter. On the other hand, he's just had the worst season of his life where he just didn't look like he was interested in this profession at all. He was the one that needed a break from the game to sort out his mentals, not Sancho. If he doesn't improve, we'd rather wish he was sold when the stock was high. But I have always had a soft spot, so would be open to the new manager (or EtH again, if he's not sacked) try to work with Rashford and get him to start enjoying his football again.
Sack Sancho. Sell Antony. Last chance saloon for Rashford.
haha. precisely. What a bizarre post that was.Yes, give them a new manager to sack in 18 months
Another season where they're bad and none of them will be sellable. If it was up to me, I would sell all 3, and use the money to get another 2 wingers in to pair with our attackers of Garnacho, Amad, and Mount. That would pretty much be the same number of attacking squad players we've had available all season.
I'm thinking the same as you, @Desert Eagle . Antony has been painful at times but maybe, just maybe he'll become more consistent if the club itself is less volatile.What do we do with these three balls of gas ?

Haha! Didn't expect to see a particle physics inspired answer!Rashford: keep. He's at the least a very good backup.
Sancho and Antony, spread out the 11 dimensions of a proton into 2 dimensions, stuff them in, code it so they can never return to Manchester, wrap it again, and shoot one in the direction iof Dortmund and the other in the direction of Amsterdam at near light speed.
Is it because of that cross field pass that led to the winning goal against City?Keep Rashford, sell the other two.
Haha! Didn't expect to see a particle physics inspired answer!
Sell, or more realistically, loan them all out with obligations to buy.
'What?! Lose three wing players all in one window?' ... Yes. Why not? They've contributed nothing last season and all caused problems.
We can try make cases for all to stay based on a previous prolific season or playing well for a period elsewhere. However, all three players have had really poor seasons further back than the season just gone!
All have contracts far too high for what that have given back in performances and their wages do not fit in with the INEOS model. They're certainly too high to be bench warmers in hope they'll turn their careers around here.
If we have to take a hit and loan these players out next season, then so be it. We can get the majority of the wages off our wage bill, receive a small fee at least and commit clubs to buying them for sums that can give us a decent transfer budget for the 25/26 season.
Rashford will always be the most difficult to move with his new contract. PSG are unlikely to make a move after another woeful season. However, they may just be interested in a season-long loan with perhaps an optional future transfer fee. We should treat it as an audition for him. He should at the very least rediscover some form away from United. If it's not good enough for PSG, then at least it could generate some interest from other clubs to make a bid. Seriously, we have nothing to lose with moving Rashford on loan for a season.
Most unpopular opinion you've read all day:
I say sell Rashford and Antony, both are not good enough.
Keep Sancho under a new manager. He has been impressive at Dortmund and someone like Tuchel or Frank might get him to work out here.
A loan with no obiligation to buy is insane for a player of Rashford's on the books value, all three is economically suicidal.
Dortmund have paid a fee for Sancho but we still paid him ~£5m this year to not play for the club, so that 5m loan fee is basically a wash.
IF we loaned all three out, we need to buy 2 replacements at minium right now, so we've front loaded more costs, if you wanted to buy a Winger with Rashford stats right now, good luck finding one for 50m. What if for whatever reason the loaning club decides against picking up their option to buy. You now have 3 players on >200k a week you actively don't want with years on their contract, you are now over a barrel for any future loans.
Sancho is 100% sell this summer.
Anthony is still a masive loss to sell right now/ who would want him?
Rashford, you'd need an offer of >80m to make it remotely worth it.
if you wanted to buy a Winger with Rashford stats right now, good luck finding one for 50m.
I would sell all 3 but Sancho to Dortmund/saudi aside I’m not sure there will be any other suitors. Antony doesn’t offer much to our attack and needs to be improved on. Sancho, I can’t stand habitual lateness. Anyone who is habitually late is toxic to the work environment. He has to go for that alone. Rashford I’m also done. He can cry after every game we win and go all day about what the club means to him but we are not blind to what he does on the pitch. Nothing wrong with being out of form but not running and fighting for the ball? Shows how much the club means to him that he can’t bring himself to put in effort for the ball. And this nonsense about him needing to be happy to perform. He’s a fecking 26yr old top level professional paid more weekly than what most people earn in a year. He should be performing to the club’s terms not to his terms.
Yes, these personnel issues are really highlighted when compared to the reports about how Garnacho, Mainoo and Hojlund are rewarded.Maybe 10 years ago but he’s making more than most average people make in 4/5/6 years in a week. It’s absurd given the drama and lack of consistent return
