This is a terrible deal for AVFC.
If we paid £75M for him you're probably right. But on loan...nah.

Telling that we picked Zych and not Rashford on the bench today. Very telling indeed.

Yep
That’s the big difference for me as well

I'm not sure how much of his wages we are picking up, 50% maximum I'd hope . Do feel the money might have been more wisely invested.

Basically. People are basing their “bad attitude” arguments on tabloid newspaper nonsense.

This is why we had Brexit.

They're actually based on the recent comments by his current coach.

And the one before him.  And Jose Mourinho after his time there.  Let's hope he can re-ignite his career with us if he comes.

Unai will get a tune out of him.

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.

There's so much wrong at Man Utd, I highly doubt removing Rashford is going to have them racing up the table.

Hi there in the future, do we have hoverboards and have the ants taken over, yet?

If he can’t motivate himself to play/train hard for his home town club on the wages he’s being paid I fail to see why it will be any different for him at Villa.
I’ve never really rated him anyway to be honest.
He only got capped because of the club he played for.
It’s a big no-no for me.

Massive no from me too.

If you can ignore his blatant lack of professionalism during his career, and it's impossible to, it's an odd fit for footballing reasons.

We play a narrow midfield four and a 10 off Watkins. Rashford doesn't fit any position there. Backup to Watkins - no he is a dreadful player with his back to goal. In recent seasons for his hometown club he hasnt tried a leg either up front or on right wing. We don't play 433 where we could keep him high up on the left.

We have lacked raw pace in the squad since Diaby left. If Emery, in light of our defensive issues for some time, decides to change our shape out of possession to sitting deep and countering quickly, then Rashford could be an asset on left. Like he was for a season under OGS & ETH.

Woke ?

I dont think anyone has mentioned anything  about that. Just utter nonsense and not related to why some fans myself included are not keen on him coning here

Anyone know cone-tract details?

I'm a card carrying member of the wokerati, but I've seen him really, really not put a shift in on the pitch quite a few times. That's nothing to do with any press speculation.

Hopefully he feels like he has something to prove and can turn his reputation around.

🚨💣 Aston Villa have agreed to pay a loan fee & will cover the majority of Marcus Rashford's £325,000 weekly salary — they also have an option to buy in the summer.
@samuelluckhurst

Loan fee is pretty shitty but it solves a problem and I doubt the whole package is more than £10m.
As per the MEN reporter who, I expect, will be happy to trot out whatever United brief him to say, knowing it cannot be corrected as it is speculation and it is what his (largely) Manchester-based audience will want to hear, i.e., "we're getting rid of a wrong 'un and the Brummies are paying over the odds".

Manchester United are a shitshow. Utterly toxic at the moment. If Unai thinks he can get a tune out of Rashford, then I’d go with that.

Comes across as a good sort, so I can perfectly well believe the problem is the environment and not the person.

When I think of Unai Emery tapping his head and talking about mentality, I don’t think of Marcus Rashford.

As SaddVillian had posted earlier, if we wanted the player, we could have got him 28 days ago. This strikes me as a move of desperation, born out of a failure to land our preferred targets…not for the first time with Monchi leading on the dealings.
