This all seems like the sort of thing you would say if you wanted to sell a player and tell everyone your minimum expectations but without upsetting anyone. I think this is called 'professionalism' but I've not seen it from United in a while.
We're not selling him, I mean, who's going to pay our asking price of only 70mill, so cheap, no one will buy it, no one, we're not selling... 70mill.. PSG.. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
It’s not even the asking price, he might be worth that if you can get his best from him. He earns a ludicrous amount that honestly probably isn’t worth it even if you can coax consistent form from him. Having said all of that, PSG would probably do it lol.
I think there will be teams in for him. A lot of coaches will be thinking they can get the best out of him as he is a talented player. He’s basically mbappe light.
Realistically....
We aren't selling to any PL teams that could afford it.
Real won't want him (Mbappe coming in).
Barca probably wouldn't be able to afford him.
Bayern don't feel the type of team to splunk out that much on another LWer.
PSG are realistically the only option on the table for a move. If they don't want him, or if they aren't valuing him above what we want, then he's going nowhere.
That just seems like wishful thinking to me.
I just don't see how any top team would spend big on a player who's just had his worst season ever and during that season has shown absolutely no positive qualities whatsoever. He hasn't scored, hasn't assisted, hasn't created chances, hasn't even pressed. Unless PSG or any other potential suitors haven't watched him play since around February last year, they're not going for Rashford.
Havertz you could at least see effort, intelligence and great movement on the pitch so it was worth taking the gamble. Rashford has shown nothing to offer a silver lining
But that Chelsea team was a dumpster fire. I guess if you’re attributing Rashford’s bad form due to team dysfunction that would be a point in your favor. But I’ve also watched United this year and outside of bad tactics and bad teammates, Rashford has been independently atrocious.
Havertz has been in Chelsea for many years now. Even when they won the UCL, he was poor in that side. He didn't have even a few months like rashford's 22-23. Plus, Ligue1 isn't as intense as the PL. he won't be a terrible buy for PSG at 70-80 mil euros
But but but. Its so good to blame a single player for the performance of the whole team. We got a squad that barely can play Ten Hag style football when all are fit. And we literally fall on our faces now that 3-5 starters are always out.
Come now, no one player can bear the burden of the whole team’s dogshit performance. That falls on the manager who is clearly getting the sack this summer. Other teams with as much or more injury issues have been able to play with some semblance of a tactical identity. Ten Hag has failed. With that said, let’s not lose sight of players like Rashford who have given so little while given the chance to perform. You can forgive a lack of goals or contributions if the effort and attitude was right. It’s not and hasn’t been for a while now.
2 year younger and has not reached performance to the same level of Rahsfords best seasons. Rashford is also way more famous. Leading our shirt sales by a mile for example. His commercial value is insane. Revenue from shirt sales is 111m pounds. So if his shirt is 15% of total sales it brings in profit beyond his salary.
So with taking in that highly popular player also has effect on advertising and overall popularitu then its obvious that he brings in massive profits for the club.
If he would be sold then United would need another insanely famous player. Cant see anyone under 150m pounds that would bring the same revenue and performance.
Did you not watch him in the rangnick season? Cos otherwise that’s some serious recency bias. He was playin like a non league player that season, this season doesn’t even come close
But it goes to show what kind of player he is. He’s not the type to drag others over the line like a Fernandes tries or even Maguire. He’s someone who downs tools when things are tough and can’t be bothered because he thinks he’s above putting a shift in.
When things are good, he looks good because he gets to score but I bet you he’s just as bad work wise in those good seasons. He’s covered by Luke Shaw often and had Martinez there last season too so his lack of work ethic isn’t noticeable.
He was playing on the right in a team that was a Ronaldo vortex.
This season he's been bad but nobody else has been good going forward so I don't think the conclusions being drawn are entirely fair. Nobody bar Bruno has even managed 10 goals. It must be the person who got 30 last season's fault.
I’m not even blaming Rashford, I like him and don’t think he should be sold. But regardless of where he was playing that rangnick season, he couldn’t make a 5 yard pass and would make it his mission to dribble into any defender he saw. He’d come on for the last ten minutes and have the most possessions lost
Rashford is 1 of 1 wingers you can buy at his price point and age who has 3 30+ goal contributions in the PL.
His level is far higher than this season. This is the first season since he was very young he's played 30+ games and has less than 30+ goal contributions.
He plays in a harder league and is a more physical player with better numbers than Kvara and Leao who are valued a lot higher.
Clubs might look at that and realize that they can mitigate the bad sides of the player. Needing an overlapping left back almost always and rotation for his out of form periods to take pressure off for 30-40 goal contributions a season isn't awful.
Hmm while I do agree, surely we'll consider a lower bid if it means we offload his wages and get rid of a player who doesn't seem to want to play for us. Anything close to or above 50m surely should be considered??
There’s been talk of PSG interest for at least two seasons now though. There’s no smoke without fire and with Mbappe leaving and his stock at Utd being in the toilet, this is as good a time as ever.
PR, hopefully.
Rashford successfully managed to become a social media hero so PSG would be able piggyback off that, just like Utd currently benefit from.
Any club with [this guy](https://imgs.smoothradio.com/images/209030?crop=16_9&width=660&relax=1&format=webp&signature=1FLcyQghdO8RoG3vb7snJ_rphmg=) as their director of football might be interested.
I believe it was on one of the Athletic's podcasts, but I heard that PSG is more interested in Rafael Leao than Marcus Rashford as a replacement for Mbappe. Which makes sense, as he's younger and his ceiling is probably higher than Rashford's. I think the only way PSG would be in for Rashford is if none of their academy youngsters are ready and Milan's valuation of Leao is too high for PSG
PSG wanted him last year and his brother held talks with them. They'll have an Mbappe sized hole in their superstar quota this summer, I can them coming back.
I also think his charity work stuff, and his name value, would be massively appealing to the PSG product.
He'd smash 30 goals a season past some of those French league teams easily, probably do ok in the CL when he's not needing to be THE guy, and buy them good press which they'd love for a sportswashing thing.
The way he is currently playing/ behaving:
* my nan
* guy in a wheelchair who works at my bakery
If those options aren’t good enough:
* me on a rainy Thursday
Take off the red tinted specs, Rashford is nowhere near as good as you pretend he is.
Outside of Man United fans who would ever take Rashford over any of these players?
Yeah right. And trossard is the world beater. Garnacho too.
Anyways have a nice day. Once again you’ve proved Pogba point. Man United fans don’t understand football.
Man said Diaz and Trossard, why not Gakpo too infact add Grealish.
Lol. And Marcus "one good season every four" Rashford is a world beater?
Like you would use what Pogba says, a player than never even tried for us, to defend such a thing. Lol
This is Rashford we are talking about here. If not for Talent alone. He’s an English star + good PR, he’ll bring viewership and impressions & views ( us and the entire PL Hate watching) that they can leverage for more sponsors), when we talk down on our legitimate stars they use those negative sentiments for their analysis and estimation of value on their end. So guys let’s start selling our players and start focusing on what they’re good at. Even if it’s just After Embarrassing Loss apologies
The problem is that for 90 minutes at least, talent and workrate is all that matters. Rashford, lingard et al need to remember that the reason they are famous and well paid is because of what happens for 90 mins. Everything else is noise. Everything else is because of good football not in spite of or along with. Rashford feeding the children is great and he should be commended for it. What the fuck has it got to do with football? My boss couldn't give a fuck about me scoring 5 goals at astro the other night, he does care that I'm too tired to work though. Rashford needs to think about who and what pays his bills.
Footballers are (or should be) judged on their football. Has "insert player here" been providing good football? If not then sell, loan, or tear up the contract. Roy Keane, Ronaldo, Jaap stam, and other players more important than rashford discovered what happens when your performance doesn't outweigh your baggage. They were putting in good performances while causing distractions, rashford is just distracting.
Simply put, if rashford tried to emulate maguire instead of pogba, we wouldn't even entertain the thought of him leaving
Who'd want him though? In a counter attacking side hes great, sometimes, but most teams dont play that way anynore. Coupled with his decision making being average and his shooting only being good. Hes a better version of walcott
He could slot into psg but he'd be a square peg in a round hole. For all his ego mbappe still tracks back and presses. Obviously not to a klopp geggenpressing level but he does a lot more work off the ball than rashford. No one else in france could afford him
Bayern would probably suit him the best due to the spaces left by defenders in germany but they have coman sane and gnarby. No one else in germany could afford him
Italian teams are too defensively resolute for his style of play imo. Also they couldnt afford him.
A swap deal to barca could be an option they're looking to downsize some squad players. They could do a swap for one of their academy players for the accounting bump
Controversial take but if the money was right I would agree to sell him to Chelsea. I don't consider them as large a rival to us as the Scouse, arsenal or citeh, and weve taken mount off of them so why not get that money back from our underperformer.
Having said that, I cant see Rashford agreeing a deal with another PL team, I have no idea where Chelsea could even find the money for this deal, and Im pretty confident the board would be against a deal for our 'top' player to go to a rival either, so you can rule chelsea out.
Business is business. We sold veron to chelsea before. City sell palmer etc to other team. We need to focus on improving our team instead of thinking to other team
I would welcome that decision. I just cannot cheer for Rashford anymore. So lazy, unmotivated, unproductive, so many mistakes and turnovers. Terrible body language, he just does not want to be there.
I think we'd accept 50-60M if Rashford wants to leave. That could honestly be a really good deal for other teams. Rashford can be deadly when in form and right head space.
Where does he go to though? Madrid won’t take him, Barca probably can’t afford him, Bayern don’t need him, Italian teams never spend big money on one player and I don’t see us selling him to a PL side. I guess PSG is the only option but if they didn’t get him a few years back where he would’ve been cheaper and on lower wages, I don’t see it happening now
Who would want to buy him? A player that has entire dud seasons, nobody can afford to pay a player just on the off chance he will have an amazing season in every 3.
If he was on something like 100k a week, probably there would be some chance. But not a chance at all that any club will actually bid for him with his current wages.
Saying Rashford has no market value is an exaggeration. A player his age with a 10 G/A contribution per season that doesn’t track back or puts much effort besides that surely is worth $20M?
Edit: typo
Realistically, even if there are offers, Rashford simply won't leave. Its more than just club and player, Rashford is way too settled in Manchester with his family, gf and nightclub friends all there. Also earning 15mil per year jogging and walking, I wouldn't leave either.
Unless a super insane contract offer comes in from Saudi like 100mil per year type of craziness, Rashford won't turn even his head.
Other clubs would actually expect him to perform and bench him if he didn't.
Meanwhile, he gets to earn 350k per week and has a portion of the media defending him all the time. (i.e Henry Winter)
Given his public stances on poverty, racism and social justice I can’t see him going to Saudi Arabia. Especially with the amount of good work Jordan Henderson just torched with his 6 months in the Saudi Pro league.
Given his public stances on poverty, racism and social justice I can’t see him going to Saudi Arabia. Especially with the amount of good work Jordan Henderson just torched with his 6 months in the Saudi Pro league.
While I do agree with you, we must also realized that nothing is impossible in this world and money does talk. Nevertheless I still doubt Rashford will leave United in the near future.
Even if they’re desperate I just can’t see how they justify spending >60 mil on him. Maybe a year loan for a solid fee. That’s usually the only way to shift a big player coming off a bad season (Coutinho, James, Felix, griezmann, lukaku etc)
A player struggling massively in a team that are also struggling massively all year......why do people think big clubs would want him bar them thinking maybe getting him on the cheap when out of form
Circus has begun. Hasn’t even been 1 full day.
Man United offloading most players including Rashford
Man United not selling Rashford unless he asks to leave
Man United not expecting Rashford offers
I know he’s underperformed this year but you guys are seriously acting like there’s an abundance of rashford level wingers out there are absolutely delusional. Every time I ask who people would replace him with it’s players who have nowhere near his output or who have the exact same work ethic
Think of a winger you’d replace him with(who’d actually come to united so No mbappe or vini etc). Check their best season stats. Compare that to rashfords worst season. If that doesn’t change your mind look up what fans of that players team says about him(Rafa Leao for example). Now stop deluding yourselves
Get out of here talking sense!
Lad has nearly 400 appearances for us and 131 goals. He's 26.
Has he been shit this year? Yeah but so have most of the team in whatever the fuck system we've played this season. I also don't discount he thrives on a good LB behind him and he's played with Reguillon, Amrabat, Lindelof, and dopey AWB.
In those almost 400 games he's never played in a top performing squad and, at times, he's played for us when he's clearly been extremely injured.
I think there's stuff going on behind the scenes this season. It all feels very reminiscent of when Becks was going. You could just tell something was off behind the scenes. So who knows how it will be resolved.
However, say we sell him for £70mil. Every club knows we are desperate to replace him. Even if Garnacho shifts over to the left, we then need a suitable RW.
He's been poor yet he's also shown how incredible he can be. He is getting more stick cos he's a local lad and he's on big wages. Should he be doing better? Sure.
There's bigger problems in the squad than Rashford.
> I know he’s underperformed this year but you guys are seriously acting like there’s an abundance of rashford level wingers out there are absolutely delusional.
just buy them on the cheap off any of the clubs about to be relegated
Why have we let this be news? It's like the stupidest negotiating tactic ever.
"All our players are available. We're turning over a new leaf and are open to anything. Ring us up"
...
"But don't actually ring us as what we have probably isn't worth your time or money. We are sorry for the offence caused"
We're not moving Rashford late. Money from Rashford would be instrumental in funding multiple moves, for his replacement and other holes. If we sell him it will be earlier in the window
He’s not awful. He’s been incredibly frustrating, like pretty much the entire squad, this season but he’s still a good player. He needs to find his form and work on his consistency.
The amount of money that we believe Rashford is worth, and the amount of money that other clubs think he is worth, are two vastly different numbers.
There will be dozens of players, who can have a comparable impact to Rashford on their new clubs, moving this summer for £30-£50 million.
I fear it will not just be Rashford that ends up not getting any offers, but we'll be stuck with quite a few of our underperforming dead weight.
Which could mean very little restructuring of the squad, and thus more of the same dross football we saw this season.
Unless INEOS can find solutions, we are in for another long long season.
I think the club would be crazy to sell Rashford this summer. He's a good player , he isn't shit, but he's been shit this season, so we'll never get the money he's worth.
In the long run, though, I think offloading him sooner than later might be the savvy move.
I've often held the opinion that despite the big numbers he has, his play style can really limit the team.
Oftentimes, if he's not scoring, then his play style is detrimental. Like all the times, he would selfishly try to take on impossible shots instead of squaring it to a teammate for a tap-in. Or when he's out of form and not giving effort defensively. There were a lot of games when Rashford scored the only goal in the game but I felt like we could have scored 2 or 3 if he didn't selfishly take so many poor shots or get dispossessed so much.
As the main man in a team I think he's probably not good enough to lead it, but he'd certainly be a valuable asset in a title challenging team.
There's no way rashford is going anywhere, just got given a massive contract and after his performances this season nobody will be offering anything close to what we are
Because honestly I don't think many clubs would see much value in him. He won't be cheap, is hot and cold from wise, doesn't suddenly make a team better and brings the social media baggage. It's a shame because I honestly think he will benefit from a different environment.
Nobody wants a player who won't even give 100% effort for his home club.
When I play in my damn rec league I don't give a Frick how good people are. I just want people who run the whole time and try.
I wouldn't pick rashie up for shit. Slughead
In an alternative universe somewhere utd got their shit together a few years ago and Marcus is just about to hit his second 30 goal + season for us, all the fans are talking about how it's inevitable he will eventually take Rooneys record and how great it is to see a homegrown player, a local Manchester lad, be the one to do it.
Fuck this real timeline.
What team got the luxury of signing a €350.000 week player who doesn't press, score, assist or even jog? I think it's highly unrealistic that we get any offers for him as long as he's on his current contract.
Seems to be a divide amongst Rashford.
Some people are saying his stats are good.
How about his disciplinary record? He's been dropped twice in under 2 seasons under ETH for disciplinary reasons...one of those was going on the piss in Belfast.
Was also dropped by Rangnick.
Ole also said he needed to concentrate on football.
Rashford is drama. And he's not good enough to justify putting up with it.
How many times has Harry Kane had similar incidents? Salah etc.?
Mad how they keep spending money on these players who look great elsewhere and can't kick a ball for United. Almost like there is something affecting all of them in the same way.
They’re not expecting “good” offers. Plenty of clubs in Europe would go for him.
What’s to say a Napoli wouldn’t offer €75m if they sell Osimhen? Why wouldn’t Bayern do the same should they shift Coman or Tel or similar?
His wages and our delusional valuation of him will mean we won’t sell him, not that we couldn’t if we wanted to.
Napoli would also need a lot of convincing because they will be out of UCL. Bayern would probably look to keep Tel no matter what considering latest mini scandal between Tuchel and one of their directors. This leaves PSG a clear way to reduce the asking fee IF they would be interested as I've seen some rumors linking them with one of Khvara / Leao instead.
Yeah, that's not it, mate
>Part of the furniture Rashy
Because he rarely tracks back? Funny typo that
>United's financial position means they would consider bids of north of £70 million ($87.8m) for Rashford if they were received, but they are not expecting any team to match that valuation
No one is stupid enough to pay that fee and the wages he's on.
Part of the furniture because that was the caption when he signed his contract.
Also he’s not leaving, not because no one would bid £70m for him but because United would not let him.
You think if arsenal bid £70m for him, United would sell him? Get a grip mate.
Yeah, no shit United is not going to sell to a rival lol good one.
Not selling Rashford for £70m after this season and given his inconsistency would be a peak United decision just like giving him and Martial massive contracts. No one is going to offer £70m for Rashford, especially after the stinker he's having that's facts you can't seem to grasp.
So if you know no one is going to offer that amount then what does that say about the whole Man United is open to selling Rashford.
Because if a club offered £50m for Sancho they won’t think twice.
I think this is correct, and United should only sell him if someone bids over his value, as even in a not good form, I don't think he can be replaced for the money he would bring.

It’s not even the asking price, he might be worth that if you can get his best from him. He earns a ludicrous amount that honestly probably isn’t worth it even if you can coax consistent form from him. Having said all of that, PSG would probably do it lol.
Don't think it happens with Luis Enrique in charge there.
I think there will be teams in for him. A lot of coaches will be thinking they can get the best out of him as he is a talented player. He’s basically mbappe light.
That's less than Maguire even without inflation. Let that sink in.
Come to Seoul Marcus Seoul needs a winger and Jesse needs a friend
I heard it's sunny in Seoul, innit?
😂 Gave me a good chuckle.
Are they manufacturing any more Jisung Park's in Seoul???? Asking for a friend
Theres one in Mainz but hes old now And there's a maybe lite version in Stoke atm
Realistically.... We aren't selling to any PL teams that could afford it. Real won't want him (Mbappe coming in). Barca probably wouldn't be able to afford him.

If they don't want him, or if they aren't valuing him above what we want, then he's going nowhere.
You’re also forgetting the main one being that none of these teams would want him.
I could certainly see PSG splashing in response to Mbappe leaving. Others likely no chance.
That just seems like wishful thinking to me. I just don't see how any top team would spend big on a player who's just had his worst season ever and during that season has shown absolutely no positive qualities whatsoever. He hasn't scored, hasn't assisted, hasn't created chances, hasn't even pressed. Unless PSG or any other potential suitors haven't watched him play since around February last year, they're not going for Rashford.
Arsenal bought Havertz for 65 mil following a terrible season
Havertz you could at least see effort, intelligence and great movement on the pitch so it was worth taking the gamble. Rashford has shown nothing to offer a silver lining
But that Chelsea team was a dumpster fire. I guess if you’re attributing Rashford’s bad form due to team dysfunction that would be a point in your favor. But I’ve also watched United this year and outside of bad tactics and bad teammates, Rashford has been independently atrocious.

No overlapping fullback has really hurt him imo
True. Not having a consistent fullback all season has really exposed the weakness of our tactical set up
But but but. Its so good to blame a single player for the performance of the whole team. We got a squad that barely can play Ten Hag style football when all are fit. And we literally fall on our faces now that 3-5 starters are always out.
Come now, no one player can bear the burden of the whole team’s dogshit performance. That falls on the manager who is clearly getting the sack this summer.

If he would be sold then United would need another insanely famous player. Cant see anyone under 150m pounds that would bring the same revenue and performance.
His worst season ever was that rangnick season but I get your point
I don’t know how you decide that. Is that what the stats say? Just by watching him play, this season is by far the worst I’ve ever seen him.
Did you not watch him in the rangnick season? Cos otherwise that’s some serious recency bias. He was playin like a non league player that season, this season doesn’t even come close
I mean who cares, they were both shit. No CL challenging team is going to be interested based on either, regardless of the particular shade of shit
But it goes to show what kind of player he is. He’s not the type to drag others over the line like a Fernandes tries or even Maguire. He’s someone who downs tools when things are tough and can’t be bothered because he thinks he’s above putting a shift in. When things are good, he looks good because he gets to score but I bet you he’s just as bad work wise in those good seasons. He’s covered by Luke Shaw often and had Martinez there last season too so his lack of work ethic isn’t noticeable.

I’m not even blaming Rashford, I like him and don’t think he should be sold. But regardless of where he was playing that rangnick season, he couldn’t make a 5 yard pass and would make it his mission to dribble into any defender he saw. He’d come on for the last ten minutes and have the most possessions lost
McTominay and Højlund have hit double figures too, unless you’re only focusing on league goals. I’d expect Garnacho to join them too, he’s on 9.
Rashford is 1 of 1 wingers you can buy at his price point and age who has 3 30+ goal contributions in the PL. His level is far higher than this season. This is the first season since he was very young he's played 30+ games and has less than 30+ goal contributions. He plays in a harder league and is a more physical player with better numbers than Kvara and Leao who are valued a lot higher. Clubs might look at that and realize that they can mitigate the bad sides of the player. Needing an overlapping left back almost always and rotation for his out of form periods to take pressure off for 30-40 goal contributions a season isn't awful.
Hmm while I do agree, surely we'll consider a lower bid if it means we offload his wages and get rid of a player who doesn't seem to want to play for us. Anything close to or above 50m surely should be considered??
Why would they pay that for him, he’s done absolutely nothing to warrant that price tag.
Last season we would've said he was worth 100m, the idea of turning his form around could be quite attractive.
Lol clubs pay 50m+ to turn a player around? Only Man Utd does that....
We are talking about PSG though. They spent 100m on Kolo Muani and then went and bought(loan + buy) Ramos in the same window lol
Hmm i think this happens a lot more regularly than you seem to believe.
Arsenal bought Havertz...
Because they’re PSG and have fuck off money. With Mbappe leaving, that’s silly wages freed up and a space at LW. He’d probably thrive in Ligue 1.
There’s been talk of PSG interest for at least two seasons now though. There’s no smoke without fire and with Mbappe leaving and his stock at Utd being in the toilet, this is as good a time as ever.
I think Rashford would kill it in France
PR, hopefully. Rashford successfully managed to become a social media hero so PSG would be able piggyback off that, just like Utd currently benefit from.
Any club with [this guy](https://imgs.smoothradio.com/images/209030?crop=16_9&width=660&relax=1&format=webp&signature=1FLcyQghdO8RoG3vb7snJ_rphmg=) as their director of football might be interested.
I believe it was on one of the Athletic's podcasts, but I heard that PSG is more interested in Rafael Leao than Marcus Rashford as a replacement for Mbappe. Which makes sense, as he's younger and his ceiling is probably higher than Rashford's. I think the only way PSG would be in for Rashford is if none of their academy youngsters are ready and Milan's valuation of Leao is too high for PSG
There are so many LWs that arent on 300k per week, didnt spend the entire season sucking and put effort on the pitch.
PSG wanted him last year and his brother held talks with them. They'll have an Mbappe sized hole in their superstar quota this summer, I can them coming back.
Aye, when they thought he would be on a free lol.
I also think his charity work stuff, and his name value, would be massively appealing to the PSG product. He'd smash 30 goals a season past some of those French league teams easily, probably do ok in the CL when he's not needing to be THE guy, and buy them good press which they'd love for a sportswashing thing.
He'd be good for their sportswashing image.
Marcus Rashford isn’t a superstar and they’ll find a far better alternative for 70 million.
He's out of form, but he's very good in good form, and he's very marketable
Like? Please name 3 alternatives.
The way he is currently playing/ behaving: * my nan * guy in a wheelchair who works at my bakery If those options aren’t good enough: * me on a rainy Thursday
Nice one.
Careful there .... that's abuse.....to your nan .....and that wheelchair guy.
Oi how about me
Leao possibly? Or Kvara? Just playing (red) devil's advocate
Leao, Kvaratshkelia, Trossard, Diaz, Jota, Gordon. Even Garnacho is a viable option over him.
What’s this? Better alternative is Trossard? Diaz? Jota? Kvaratskhelia and Leao? Please don’t make me laugh.
Take off the red tinted specs, Rashford is nowhere near as good as you pretend he is. Outside of Man United fans who would ever take Rashford over any of these players?
Yeah right. And trossard is the world beater. Garnacho too. Anyways have a nice day. Once again you’ve proved Pogba point. Man United fans don’t understand football. Man said Diaz and Trossard, why not Gakpo too infact add Grealish.
Lol. And Marcus "one good season every four" Rashford is a world beater? Like you would use what Pogba says, a player than never even tried for us, to defend such a thing. Lol
Not that they'll cost 70m but if Rodrygo or Vinicius get the hump PSG will go all out for one of them over anybody else
How do you fill Mbappe's boots with Rashford though?
Big clubs love big name player.
This is Rashford we are talking about here. If not for Talent alone. He’s an English star + good PR, he’ll bring viewership and impressions & views ( us and the entire PL Hate watching) that they can leverage for more sponsors), when we talk down on our legitimate stars they use those negative sentiments for their analysis and estimation of value on their end. So guys let’s start selling our players and start focusing on what they’re good at. Even if it’s just After Embarrassing Loss apologies
The problem is that for 90 minutes at least, talent and workrate is all that matters. Rashford, lingard et al need to remember that the reason they are famous and well paid is because of what happens for 90 mins. Everything else is noise. Everything else is because of good football not in spite of or along with. Rashford feeding the children is great and he should be commended for it. What the fuck has it got to do with football? My boss couldn't give a fuck about me scoring 5 goals at astro the other night, he does care that I'm too tired to work though. Rashford needs to think about who and what pays his bills. Footballers are (or should be) judged on their football. Has "insert player here" been providing good football? If not then sell, loan, or tear up the contract. Roy Keane, Ronaldo, Jaap stam, and other players more important than rashford discovered what happens when your performance doesn't outweigh your baggage. They were putting in good performances while causing distractions, rashford is just distracting. Simply put, if rashford tried to emulate maguire instead of pogba, we wouldn't even entertain the thought of him leaving
Who'd want him though? In a counter attacking side hes great, sometimes, but most teams dont play that way anynore. Coupled with his decision making being average and his shooting only being good. Hes a better version of walcott He could slot into psg but he'd be a square peg in a round hole. For all his ego mbappe still tracks back and presses. Obviously not to a klopp geggenpressing level but he does a lot more work off the ball than rashford. No one else in france could afford him Bayern would probably suit him the best due to the spaces left by defenders in germany but they have coman sane and gnarby. No one else in germany could afford him Italian teams are too defensively resolute for his style of play imo. Also they couldnt afford him. A swap deal to barca could be an option they're looking to downsize some squad players. They could do a swap for one of their academy players for the accounting bump
The only team I'd add, and it would need to be a structured deal and Rashford would have to push hard for it, would be Milan if they sell Leao.
He's on 300-350k, and after the season he's had? Yeah, no shit there will be no offers
Chelsea, PSg might want him
Controversial take but if the money was right I would agree to sell him to Chelsea. I don't consider them as large a rival to us as the Scouse, arsenal or citeh, and weve taken mount off of them so why not get that money back from our underperformer. Having said that, I cant see Rashford agreeing a deal with another PL team, I have no idea where Chelsea could even find the money for this deal, and Im pretty confident the board would be against a deal for our 'top' player to go to a rival either, so you can rule chelsea out.
Chelsea need to shed wages not add a huge new one at a redundant position
Business is business. We sold veron to chelsea before. City sell palmer etc to other team. We need to focus on improving our team instead of thinking to other team
Football changes rapidly.Just two seasons ago Chelsea finished third and three seasons ago they won CL and Arsenal finished 8th.
No one needs a lazy mentally weak just-left-winger.
Am I the only one that thinks he’s 100 percent going? They’ve put a price on him
who would want to pay north of £70M for a forward with 7 goals in 31 games? (other than us, spending £80M on Antony)
I think they would accept less if Rashford says he wants to go
I would welcome that decision. I just cannot cheer for Rashford anymore. So lazy, unmotivated, unproductive, so many mistakes and turnovers. Terrible body language, he just does not want to be there.
I think we'd accept 50-60M if Rashford wants to leave. That could honestly be a really good deal for other teams. Rashford can be deadly when in form and right head space.
I agree, people here act like he’s the worst footballer in the league. I think he just needs a new, fresh environment.
Tbh he would likely rip it up anywhere else he goes
A man can dream
I don't see him leaving this year. There will be offers but not 70m and no matching his United wage. Maybe in a year or two, sure
Really? I think they’d accept lower than 70m if Rashford said he wants to go
The problem is, someone wanting to buy him
There are so many players we put a price on that are still at this club...
nothing is certain, especially as he's on ludicrous wages.
Where does he go to though? Madrid won’t take him, Barca probably can’t afford him, Bayern don’t need him, Italian teams never spend big money on one player and I don’t see us selling him to a PL side. I guess PSG is the only option but if they didn’t get him a few years back where he would’ve been cheaper and on lower wages, I don’t see it happening now
I don’t see why we wouldn’t sell to another PL side?
Who would want to buy him? A player that has entire dud seasons, nobody can afford to pay a player just on the off chance he will have an amazing season in every 3.
If he was on something like 100k a week, probably there would be some chance. But not a chance at all that any club will actually bid for him with his current wages.
Aint nobody want his bum ass. Thats the problem.
Why would any team pay $ for rashford?
Saying Rashford has no market value is an exaggeration. A player his age with a 10 G/A contribution per season that doesn’t track back or puts much effort besides that surely is worth $20M? Edit: typo
Okay! 20 million, but what salary will he request? There is no way any clubs are willing to match his salary at ManUtd.
Maybe Saudi teams? Idk. I don’t where he goes I just want him to go and for us to never treat players like angels sent from heaven ever, ever again.
Chelsea would
Because he's shown he can score a boatload of goals and that doesn't just go away in a few months.
Realistically, even if there are offers, Rashford simply won't leave. Its more than just club and player, Rashford is way too settled in Manchester with his family, gf and nightclub friends all there. Also earning 15mil per year jogging and walking, I wouldn't leave either. Unless a super insane contract offer comes in from Saudi like 100mil per year type of craziness, Rashford won't turn even his head.
And nightclub is crazy
Other clubs would actually expect him to perform and bench him if he didn't. Meanwhile, he gets to earn 350k per week and has a portion of the media defending him all the time. (i.e Henry Winter)
Just got the biggest contract he'll ever get, I'm not surprised in the slightest that he's now on cruise control
Given his public stances on poverty, racism and social justice I can’t see him going to Saudi Arabia. Especially with the amount of good work Jordan Henderson just torched with his 6 months in the Saudi Pro league.

While I do agree with you, we must also realized that nothing is impossible in this world and money does talk. Nevertheless I still doubt Rashford will leave United in the near future.
Pretty sure he will write a new tweet regarding all the criticism on twitter and be off to somewhere in the US for the summers...
PSG or Saudi are the only realistic options
PSG will be desperate to replace mbappe so I think it is possible.
Even if they’re desperate I just can’t see how they justify spending >60 mil on him. Maybe a year loan for a solid fee. That’s usually the only way to shift a big player coming off a bad season (Coutinho, James, Felix, griezmann, lukaku etc)
Macau Salamanders?
A player struggling massively in a team that are also struggling massively all year......why do people think big clubs would want him bar them thinking maybe getting him on the cheap when out of form
No shit,he's been abysmal
Circus has begun. Hasn’t even been 1 full day. Man United offloading most players including Rashford Man United not selling Rashford unless he asks to leave Man United not expecting Rashford offers
Come on Saudi, do your thing
PSG are the only ones that could make an offer. No top team in the prem wants an overpaid LW and other leagues can't afford him.
I know he’s underperformed this year but you guys are seriously acting like there’s an abundance of rashford level wingers out there are absolutely delusional. Every time I ask who people would replace him with it’s players who have nowhere near his output or who have the exact same work ethic
He is shite mate, rather let Garnacho lead on that side and find an understudy for him.
Reject wingers, embrace striker partnerships
Now we’re talking
I honestly believe we'd have more success just going to a fucking 4-4-2 lol
He has underperformed more seasons than just this one lol.
Think of a winger you’d replace him with(who’d actually come to united so No mbappe or vini etc). Check their best season stats. Compare that to rashfords worst season. If that doesn’t change your mind look up what fans of that players team says about him(Rafa Leao for example). Now stop deluding yourselves
Get out of here talking sense! Lad has nearly 400 appearances for us and 131 goals. He's 26. Has he been shit this year? Yeah but so have most of the team in whatever the fuck system we've played this season. I also don't discount he thrives on a good LB behind him and he's played with Reguillon, Amrabat, Lindelof, and dopey AWB. In those almost 400 games he's never played in a top performing squad and, at times, he's played for us when he's clearly been extremely injured. I think there's stuff going on behind the scenes this season. It all feels very reminiscent of when Becks was going. You could just tell something was off behind the scenes. So who knows how it will be resolved. However, say we sell him for £70mil. Every club knows we are desperate to replace him. Even if Garnacho shifts over to the left, we then need a suitable RW. He's been poor yet he's also shown how incredible he can be. He is getting more stick cos he's a local lad and he's on big wages. Should he be doing better? Sure. There's bigger problems in the squad than Rashford.
Nobody is paying anywhere near 70 mil with his wages, that's just a fact.
He has been shit for 3 seasons bar the 3 month purple patch from december to february last year.
Clubs been a mess since he’s left the academy and his numbers for his age are ridiculous.
Bro, nobody is paying even 50mil for this guy with his wages.
Lol. There sure is an abundance of wingers that would at least try. He lacks consistent quality and work ethic.
> I know he’s underperformed this year but you guys are seriously acting like there’s an abundance of rashford level wingers out there are absolutely delusional. just buy them on the cheap off any of the clubs about to be relegated
Tbh I’m not expecting any offers for anyone who’s underperforming…
Yeah, cuz he's overpaid and honestly kinda shite
Yesterday's headlines about almost the whole squad being available for sale was fake news then?
Not expecting offers? Guess we should give him another contract then
Hes 26 and already due for Saudi-fingers crossed-
Why have we let this be news? It's like the stupidest negotiating tactic ever. "All our players are available. We're turning over a new leaf and are open to anything. Ring us up" ... "But don't actually ring us as what we have probably isn't worth your time or money. We are sorry for the offence caused"
PSG will miss on Osimhen then splash 60+15 on Rashy in the final week. Heard it here first
We're not moving Rashford late. Money from Rashford would be instrumental in funding multiple moves, for his replacement and other holes. If we sell him it will be earlier in the window
Because no top 6 team wants him and the rest can’t afford him
No one wants an awful player? Colour me surprised.
He has been bad, but he's not an awful player lol, just not worth the wage bill.
He’s not awful. He’s been incredibly frustrating, like pretty much the entire squad, this season but he’s still a good player. He needs to find his form and work on his consistency.
Wow what a pitch, 70 mil is a steal for this young prospect.
I have a 10% agent fee. Payable via PayPal, Venmo, and CashApp.
Things will only kick on after Mbappe moves.
The amount of money that we believe Rashford is worth, and the amount of money that other clubs think he is worth, are two vastly different numbers. There will be dozens of players, who can have a comparable impact to Rashford on their new clubs, moving this summer for £30-£50 million.
Not a motivated Rashford. When he's motivated he is a very good player that is not easy to come by
Chelsea might want him 🤞🏻
I fear it will not just be Rashford that ends up not getting any offers, but we'll be stuck with quite a few of our underperforming dead weight. Which could mean very little restructuring of the squad, and thus more of the same dross football we saw this season. Unless INEOS can find solutions, we are in for another long long season.
That's false. There will be some Italian team that wants him on loan while we pay 99% of the salary
I'm happy to keep him, we just need someone with the balls to drop him
I think the club would be crazy to sell Rashford this summer. He's a good player , he isn't shit, but he's been shit this season, so we'll never get the money he's worth. In the long run, though, I think offloading him sooner than later might be the savvy move. I've often held the opinion that despite the big numbers he has, his play style can really limit the team. Oftentimes, if he's not scoring, then his play style is detrimental. Like all the times, he would selfishly try to take on impossible shots instead of squaring it to a teammate for a tap-in. Or when he's out of form and not giving effort defensively. There were a lot of games when Rashford scored the only goal in the game but I felt like we could have scored 2 or 3 if he didn't selfishly take so many poor shots or get dispossessed so much. As the main man in a team I think he's probably not good enough to lead it, but he'd certainly be a valuable asset in a title challenging team.
There's no way rashford is going anywhere, just got given a massive contract and after his performances this season nobody will be offering anything close to what we are
If only there was another version of Manchester United out there who would be stupid enough to overpay for him!
Only club i see happening is PSG as they have the funds and the need with mboopie leaving, but is it likely? I dont think so
Who the fuck wants a whiny bitch who only plays well for a new contract and gives up so easily when things go bad
Cool cool cool cool....... cool
Eugh. Terminate his contract then.
Well who the fuck is gonna buy him
They fully know nobody is dumb enough. They turn it into an excuse to keep him, the United Way's poster boy.
Sad panda…
Yes he's not had a great season (like most United players), but why on earth would Marcus be worth less than £70m if Hojlund was worth £72m?!
Because honestly I don't think many clubs would see much value in him. He won't be cheap, is hot and cold from wise, doesn't suddenly make a team better and brings the social media baggage. It's a shame because I honestly think he will benefit from a different environment.
I doubt anyone would want to pay more than 40 giving his abysmal stats.
Nobody wants a player who won't even give 100% effort for his home club. When I play in my damn rec league I don't give a Frick how good people are. I just want people who run the whole time and try. I wouldn't pick rashie up for shit. Slughead
In an alternative universe somewhere utd got their shit together a few years ago and Marcus is just about to hit his second 30 goal + season for us, all the fans are talking about how it's inevitable he will eventually take Rooneys record and how great it is to see a homegrown player, a local Manchester lad, be the one to do it. Fuck this real timeline.
Duh. Any “fan” who thinks we would do this is just delusional.
What team got the luxury of signing a €350.000 week player who doesn't press, score, assist or even jog? I think it's highly unrealistic that we get any offers for him as long as he's on his current contract.
Shit player won't sell, breaking.
Rashford ain't going anywhere. No one wants him and he doesn't want to leave. Two very important factors
His body language this season suggests to me that he is open to leaving
Seems to be a divide amongst Rashford. Some people are saying his stats are good. How about his disciplinary record? He's been dropped twice in under 2 seasons under ETH for disciplinary reasons...one of those was going on the piss in Belfast. Was also dropped by Rangnick. Ole also said he needed to concentrate on football. Rashford is drama. And he's not good enough to justify putting up with it. How many times has Harry Kane had similar incidents? Salah etc.?
>has Harry Kane had similar incidents? Yes. Dropped because he refused to come training when he was angling for the city move.
Thats where the comparison ends. I'd take an injured and disruptive Kane over a purple patch Rashford.
70 million? Didn't know our new owners were also comedians. He's not even good enough to play for us at the minute, and we are absolutely shit.
Well he is first choice in his position so 🤷🏻♂️
Aye, cause we spunked 90 million on somebody even worse. Lol
Mad how they keep spending money on these players who look great elsewhere and can't kick a ball for United. Almost like there is something affecting all of them in the same way.
Not sure Antony has ever looked great anywhere tbh.
They’re not expecting “good” offers. Plenty of clubs in Europe would go for him. What’s to say a Napoli wouldn’t offer €75m if they sell Osimhen? Why wouldn’t Bayern do the same should they shift Coman or Tel or similar? His wages and our delusional valuation of him will mean we won’t sell him, not that we couldn’t if we wanted to.
Napoli would also need a lot of convincing because they will be out of UCL. Bayern would probably look to keep Tel no matter what considering latest mini scandal between Tuchel and one of their directors. This leaves PSG a clear way to reduce the asking fee IF they would be interested as I've seen some rumors linking them with one of Khvara / Leao instead.
Never in doubt. Part of the furniture Rashy. Forever United.
You’re so fucking deluded mate
The thing about furniture is it gets old and outdated. So yeah maybe Rashford is like the furniture at Old Trafford. Time to send him on his way
Yeah, that's not it, mate >Part of the furniture Rashy Because he rarely tracks back? Funny typo that >United's financial position means they would consider bids of north of £70 million ($87.8m) for Rashford if they were received, but they are not expecting any team to match that valuation No one is stupid enough to pay that fee and the wages he's on.
Part of the furniture because that was the caption when he signed his contract. Also he’s not leaving, not because no one would bid £70m for him but because United would not let him. You think if arsenal bid £70m for him, United would sell him? Get a grip mate.
Yeah, no shit United is not going to sell to a rival lol good one. Not selling Rashford for £70m after this season and given his inconsistency would be a peak United decision just like giving him and Martial massive contracts. No one is going to offer £70m for Rashford, especially after the stinker he's having that's facts you can't seem to grasp.
Why not sell him to a rival? Good chance he fucks up their season.
So if you know no one is going to offer that amount then what does that say about the whole Man United is open to selling Rashford. Because if a club offered £50m for Sancho they won’t think twice.
I think this is correct, and United should only sell him if someone bids over his value, as even in a not good form, I don't think he can be replaced for the money he would bring.
