Debatable whether this improves us or not, but it definitely improves utd. We have taken a financially crippling burden off them and allowed them to get in a new player that will improve them. I don't get why we have done this.

To his credit, he was the one that said ‘I need a move’ so he clearly wants a different environment and headspace.
I also think Man U will have employed some dark arts to make his position uncomfortable so take some of the noise with a pinch of salt.

I agree, I think the club quite clearly wanted to push him out. How he reacted to that hasn't bene great but how he reacts in a new environment is a bit of an unknown. If he puts the effort in and makes the most of it he's easily capable of getting some goals between now and the summer and he'll definitely add some extra pace in our attack.

I knew we would get our revenge one day when they took Dwight.

It's not the same is it!? Nope.
Never has a player broke my heart like he did when it happened.

I have a I say, I'm a little surprised at the passion from those that don't agree with this deal. It seems like a pretty low risk, high ceiling kind of deal. We could do with some extra bodies in the squad at short notice - our first eleven is pretty solid (especially if Malen makes the right wing position his own) so what we need is a few players that can make an impact, and potentially challenge the players we have.

On his day, Rashford is world class. A brilliant finisher, strong and quick. He's been dreadful recently, so I hear, but I'm not sure anyone can be certain that this means he'll never get any form back. Sometimes players just need a move to rediscover something that's been missing a while.

I'm sure Unai won't take any nonsense, and if he proves to be trouble, we'll send him back at the end of the season. He'll know that if that happens, he probably won't get to play at a high level after his contract expires.

He seems like a decent bloke (is that controversial?). He'll know players like Tyrone and Ollie from England, and I'm sure they'll be excited about playing with him. They seem like decent blokes too, so they could be the kind of teammates he needs around him.

A loan with an option to buy seems like a really sensible deal, which could end up with us having a world class, very grateful and committed, player on our hands.

I should add, I don't know any Man United fans to tell me how awful he is. But, I have to say, the fact that they can't stand him does make me warm to him a bit more.

He's woke though mate, which renders all your logic and sound judgment completely pointless. He's woke. He campaigned to feed kids, which he didn't have to do, but chose to do to further woke ideology. And to feed hungry kids, but why does he care about hungry kids when I don't? Exactly.

Not happy about it BUT you will get my backing as every villa player does when you put our wonderful shirt on

Hopefully you prove alot of us wrong and do the business. If you take the piss like you did at manure you wont be here very long and the fans wont accept it. Enjoy your time here

Well backing until they misplace a pass or something Dem…(wink emoji)

Haha. Dont worry ill back him as i do with every player. All i hope is he puts his heart into this we aint here as a club to have our time wasted

This is unfolding like a bad dream and  made worse by no sign of a CB on the horizon.

He also leaves those incredibly vulgar cars on double yellows with tickets all over them, because the laws we are subject to don't apply to rich lazy people like him. And he wears those stupid huge earphones. He'll need to grow on me.

I'm a football fan, I'm allowed, and even expected,  to be completely unreasonable.

I'm as fickle as the next fan and will hold the vomit down and support him if he is in our shirt.

Just wish I didn't have to and am very concerned for all the negatives already raised by many posters but more for the media circus that will follow.

Even if SUE turns him around and he performs it will all be about his return to them

if he performs we will surely exercise the buy clause that is in this deal. Fuck Man U at that point and whatever they might think. And speaking of vomit, I went on Red Cafe there is an underlying sense of concern that he will get back to somewhere near his best away from that disaster.

Yep, people aren't subconsciously biased in decision making to suit their own core beliefs. They don't react with emotionally when these beliefs are compromised...and they're absolutely NOT susceptible to having those opinions manipulated by the press.

Everyone's too smart for that.

You'd like to think we've done the equivalent of a job interview with him before signing which would give us an idea of his attitude.

It can't be as much research as I've done, i.e. watching a bunch of Man Utd fan videos on YouTube for the schadenfreude.

Are you ok Monty? I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I felt a little dirty and broken just posting videos of Rashford's goals.

Trust me, disgruntled Man Utd fans gruntles you like a tonic for the soul.
