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

[Demitri_C]

They should be paying us to take him.

This ^^^

Its going to take at least 3-4 weeks for him to get fit as well

Not fussed by this, arguably a positive. He’ll be phased in as a sub and then only selected on merit or if injuries dictate. Going straight into the side would justifiably annoy Ramsey or Watkins.

Depends how injured Ollie is, we might need him to be ready pretty quick.

Scores the winner against Spurs in the cup, worth the fee.

Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa, here we go!

Agreement in place on loan deal with over 70% salary covered by Villa.

Buy option clause worth £40m also included in contract with potential three year and half deal to follow.

Medical booked today.

Guess one thing that is interesting about the "buy option clause" is that we have clearly worked out a situation that we / he / they are happy with regarding the rest of his Man Utd salary if we decide to push ahead with the permanent deal.

If he does come and finds his form again, £40m could look like a steal.

Will we have agreed his wages for the scenario where we end up signing him? Yes £40m is in theory cheap if he does well, but surely we aren't going to pay him 300k a week.

The kind of logic that has us still paying Coutinho's pension.

[Bosco81]

In the scenario where he is a success and we want to sign him up.

I might be being ridiculously naive, but negotiating with a man who seems to have a moral compass, might be easier than others we have dealt with.

If he turns down £20K a week and an Austin Montego then I know he’s not quite the socialist hero I thought he was.

[AV84]

A cut on his weekly wage but a lot of bonus options thrown in could be an choice. He's still got the opportunity to make the same money, but we'll be reaping the rewards if we actually have to pay all of it to him.

Moral compass? Not sure his recent conduct reflects that exactly.

[Sexual Ealing]

I don’t think turning up late for training is a moral issue.

[PaulWinch again]

Indeed, it might be a morale issue but it’s not moral.

[Olneythelonely]

What’s that Marcus, you’ve been feeding thousands of hungry kids? That’s great and all that, but have you been putting 110% into football training?

[PeterWithe]

He should forego the Montego, all property is theft.

[Sexual Ealing]

I don’t think he’s ever claimed to be a socialist.
