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

[SamTheMouse]

H'es capable of great things, but even he's going to struggle unless we start moving the damn ball quicker.

[Dave]

Reading what Rashford has said about coming here, it seems safe to assume he's 100% being added to the CL squad. Probably a no brain decision anyway, but it sounds like he's been promised it. Which only leaves 2 other changes?

It's three newbies as a baseline, but if you lose five from the original squad list it goes up to four newbies. And five newbies if seven get removed.

It doesn't. Stop it.

Has he ever acted a Billy Big Bollocks?

Not sure if this is considered giving it the biggun

He really needs to hit the ground running or all this baggage will stay with him.

Not happy but i really hope it works out for the club and we are not made to look stupid

you could probably place Claret and Blue Jack Grealish into many of those

They gave Rashford a contract they shouldn't have, and are now trying to remedy their error. It feels as simple as that to me.

And needed to find a sucker to help them that. Yes it's simple.

well I do not think it will be us long term if he doesnt perform

Alternatively this is what we could have won

More Man Utd related than Villa, but still:

The Manchester United manager would find it neither “humiliating” nor “embarrassing” if Marcus Rashford were to rediscover his form and self at Aston Villa. After losing five of his nine home games so far it could be safely assumed that Amorim can simply no longer feel shame of any kind.

A Rashford renaissance would at the very least make for an unpleasant juxtaposition with his biggest of myriad problems. Only Leicester, Everton, Ipswich and Southampton have scored fewer Premier League goals than Manchester United this season and just Everton can be added to that number if looking specifically since Amorim’s appointment; he has done nothing to address their most glaring issue, and arguably exacerbated it.

He has tried to rectify things. On Sunday alone he sanctioned the exit of the 13th-highest scorer in the club’s history on the same day he named a midfielder as centre-forward for another goalless defeat after dropping almost £110m of centre-forward signings to the bench, all while a player purchased for £82m (Antony) put in a man-of-the-match debut for his new club.

Amorim did not bring these conundrums to Old Trafford but he absolutely inherited the Rashford, Hojlund, Zirkzee and Antony situations and has inspired precious little confidence he has a suitable answer for any of them.

But perhaps most damning of all were the post-match words of Glasner, who spoke candidly of how he told his players “there will be five, ten, 15 minutes to survive, where we will be struggling, because every team has this at Old Trafford,” but to retain trust in his plan after weathering that mild quarter-hour storm.

It was yet more stark proof of what everyone already knows: the only team who play with fear at Old Trafford in the modern day are the hosts and Aston Villa.

Fixed

Doing 104mph is probably a sign that you're a bit of a twat. However I'm not sure that it's the sign that says he won't be a decent player for us.

None of the other things in those weird clips are cause for concern. An American dickhead on YouTube says that Rashford is a selfish player? Well, that's all the evidence I need, rip the loan agreement up now.

We're not going to look stupid.  If it doesn't work out, he'll go back to them in the summer having cost us less than Zaniolo's season here did.

With no loan fee, and not even paying all of his wages, plus an option to buy him for about £15m less than Spurs paid for Solanke if it goes well, this is about as favourable a deal as it's possible to get, in my opinion.

Even if he's "average" by his own standards, he's still going to be able to contribute in our first team.

No.9

Wow he looks happy. 

[AV84]

Duran wasn't exactly a shining example of good behaviour, was actually giving it Billy Big Bollox on the regular, and we'd have been happy to keep him.

H'es capable of great things, but even he's going to struggle unless we start moving the damn ball quicker.

This is true, hopefully it will lead to a slight change in play.

Wow he looks happy. 

I wonder where people get the idea from that he suffers under unfair levels of scrutiny.

He looks rough, hope he’s alright. Probably a long day

Sit deep, concede nothing and fuck it over the top for Rashford to run onto.

I reckon it would be more effective than what we've tried so far this season.

You’re forgetting that he has a nose though.

If it’s true that this will cost less than Zaniolo all told, that certainly puts a different perspective on the ‘hefty’ wage subsidy. There’s always a possibility that he might not hit his stride, but this deal has a lot of upside potential for us.
