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

[andyh]

Id rather we took a punt on Rashford than Felix.

[Scott Nielsen]

Are we panicking? This doesn't feel thought through. Completely out of the blue.

Massive gamble by Emery here.  If this backfires it will undo a lot of the good work he's done.

I think that's an exaggeration.

[Brazilian Villain]

I've spent the last 12 months listening to a ManU-supporting colleague slagging Rashford off.  Attitude and application is apparently suspect.  Said colleague has just sent me a screen-full of laughing emojis.

If he comes, I hope he's still getting £250k of his weekly salary paid by the chemical king.

Yeah, for the past 18 months the comments on the Yanited forum about his performances and attitude have been scathing. There will be no shortage of Mancunian Reds willing to drive him to B6.

"Villa are set to cover a significant portion of the forward’s wage alongside offering performance-related bonuses."
I'm struggling with this bit. And, is be pretty pissed off if Ramsey loses out just as he reaches full fitness and form.
And where does it leave Malen, out new bright eight-sided player, if both Rashford and Ramsey play?

As long as Manure are paying a large percntage of his wages I think it could be a cracking bit of business for us.

Hopefully this is just the start of us opening our doubloon filled warchest,

This is a good point. Get Rashford on song, he's a MUCH better option than Felix. Would also count as a 'homegrown' player in our European Squad.

I don't understand this sort of attitude.  We're all complaining about needing reinforcements in forward positions after losing Duran, Buendia and Philogene, and only adding Malen - then we potentially add a player and suddenly there is concern for the players we already have.

If he joins, it's good for us.  No obligation to buy, so if he's dire, it'll be an expensive loan, but certainly not a disaster.  If it works, we get a forward who at his best would be an absolute asset to any club in the world.

Someone is polygon have to sit on the bench.

I can't understand the negativity on here. We idolise Unai Emery because he has got us in a better place than we have been for years. Concerns over his attitude and form are fair enough but I trust the process and if Emery is happy with the move so am I.

Even though he's the Euclid on the block?

How so ?

[Dante Lavelli]

I would have liked the Marcus Rashford of 5 years ago may the player he is now - probably not.

He scored 30 only two seasons ago.

[Goldenballs]

I'd take Felix over him any day of the week.

I can't imagine Emery will guarantee him game time, so if he plays ahead of Ramsey it will be on merit. An expensive loan with no obligation isn't the end of the world I suppose.
