Jeez they don’t like it when manure are scorned do they?

My goodness me.  That’s some sour faced nonsense.

Has anyone explained to him how the loan system works?

Got as far as "you'd have to assume Rashford is under no obligation to move". You're a journalist, why not do some research and find out what the clause is, rather than just guessing?

It's Reach. They all have to pump out 20 pieces a day. They're not going to research further than Twitter, it's not possible.

I very rarely use the term "racism," but in this case, this smells of targeted harrassment & underlying racism.

I'll say it again...

Marcus Rashford's 'rough' appearance sparks concern among fans at Aston Villa unveiling, as they fear he looks 'unhealthy' after Man United exile https://trib.al/fmwycGa

Sorry what does that mean  - what / who is racist

Hate the media?

It might be worth saving that article to throw back at the writer in the summer, depending on how things go.

It just seems so futile to get angry at anything that is both that stupid and and that inconsequential.

It would be even better to completely ignore the Mirror as it's shit.

[cdbearsfan]

Yes, both the content and layout are appalling.

[Hookeysmith]

Since when has a news item been solely based on some knobheads comment on twitter

That is not journalism  - and anyone who uses the term "Bro" in a communication should not be taken seriously as they are obviously 12 years old

I've had the misfortune of reading the paper version of The Mirror. There's normally about three pages dedicated to Man Utd so this doesn't surprise me at all.

[PeterWithe]

I cant see much to rage against, just your standard filler piece to get clicks from ManU supporters.

[Martyn Smith]

Oh...

...I thought that once a player had worn a squad number, another player couldn't take it up that same season

[ChicagoLion]

he does look a bit rough in those pictures.

[Hookeysmith]

Just had a clip on SSN when he met OLlie at training

Must be nice to be surrounded by decent , family men and nice human beings he has met before through England camps

I think he may love it here away from the madness

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.

There are conflicting versions of this. Some say that the only clubs this applies to is those who’s season begins and ends in a calendar year.

My understanding of the rules is the maximum squad size is 25, but in that 25 you have to have 8 "association" trained players, 4 of which have to be your own trained. We didn't meet that target with the first squad, so we only named a 23 man squad. Ramsey and Philogene being the only 2 that counted as "home grown" for the A squad (those under a certain age are B squad).

With Philogene gone, I'd imagine we don't meet the homegrown quota at all, so we cannot name a 25 man squad.

From what I can see, we've got 17 of that original 23 man squad still here. (Gauci, Carlos, Nedeljkovic,  Buendia, Philogene, and Duran removed).

The question is, can we replace the players who have left, or can we only add 3, which would mean we'd have a 20 man squad for the remainder of the competition? From what I'm reading on UEFA website, it's 3 new players.

Teams remaining in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League are allowed to register a maximum of three new eligible players after the completion of the league phase and before the start of the knockout phase.

After the completion of the league phase and before the start of the knockout phase, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition. Such registrations must be completed by 6 February 2025 (24:00 CET) at the latest.

It's only clubs whose domestic seasons run by calendar year that can add more.
