Marcus Rashford - signed on loan (injured - out for season?)

[AV84]

I didn't think anyone can deny there was an issue with Rashford for a while, but he was still playing OK when picked. It feels like Amorim came in and was told, or decided for himself, to pick a player and make a show of being the boss with them. I'd imagine his wages and years left on his deal was why Rashford was a prime candidate for it. The fact the Man U fans had turned on him ages ago made him a safe bet in that sense too. Imagine if they'd tried to cash in on a homegrown superstar that the fans loved? Lucky for them their fans are thick.

So they put their foot down and basically made it impossible for him to stay, and I think impossible for him to go back, even if Amorim left. But as I said, they've made it so obvious that he can't be at Man U anymore, so it puts them on the back foot immediately when it comes to negotiating a deal.

It's the contract.

It is, but the contract becomes a (bigger) issue when he's not giving them anything.

A version of Rashford where he's smashing in thirty goals a season and they're qualifying for the Champions League and it stops being such a big problem.

Yep, it went a bit like Gerrard with Mings except his signing to repalce him got broken in his 2nd game and Gerrard didn't last much longer himself.

It is laughable that Amorim (who i do not rate at all from what i have seen so far) Claimed he wanted him out as he could not comprehend how he wanted Rashford to train and play.

What a load of cobblers - unless he meant a winning team mentality

[Toronto Villa]

Nothing screams winning team mentality than suggesting your new team maybe the worst iteration of it ever.

a Man Utd return in the summer.

THE SUNDAY STAR

Ruben Amorim will not offer Marcus Rashford a Manchester United lifeline this summer, and United bosses will look to strike a permanent deal with Aston Villa for Rashford in the region of £60m.

40mil is in the region of 60mil.

[PaulWinch again]

They want to be rid of him. They are stupid, but you’d think not stupid enough to put the price to a level it becomes a deterrent and they end up with him back there. Especially as they know everyone knows it.

40mil is in the region of 60mil.

I wouldnt want to walk it

[Footy-Vill]

Noticed Marcus is playing a more goal creator and contributor role than actually a goal scorer or goal threat.
This was evident for England as well as has been for Villa.

I hope once he scores he gets some confidence to score more but some of his play and positioning isn’t really allowing for goals for himself.

I’ve always felt he be a very good number 9 but it’s always said that Marcus prefers to play wide and not out and out striker.

[dcdavecollett]

Marcus had a great first touch and worked the space well but his delivery was disappointing even though he was crossing into a highly-crowded box.

Thanks for posting, footy. Please ignore any barbs from bitter incels. They're very unhappy people.

Don't know where this £60m figure comes from when at the time of the loan deal, it was public knowledge that we had an option for £40m.
