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

[edgysatsuma89]

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

Where have you been? There are articles based off a few Twitter comments all the time. It's horseshit, but it's far from new.

I've seen some odd comments about Rashford, but a disgruntled Man Utd fan calling a one club player a mercenary was among the oddest.

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. 

I've found nothing to indicate that it's anything other than as you say.

This bloke is going to have to score some goals now.

Or play centre half

So we have 4 (assuming Asensio) new signings, only 3 of which can be added to the squad. Do we go with the 3 attacking players, or 2 of them and Garcia, given the questionable state of our defence?

Also could be a reason why we didn't splash the cash on a CB who wasn't our 1st/2nd choice, given we may not have been able to add them to the squad, or would have had to leave out one of the attacking signings to do so.

God only knows. I assume a bit of the Garcia thing depends on Cash's injury. If he's back in good time then probably Rashford, Malen and Asensio.

If he's not then add Garcia and flip a coin between Malen and Asensio? I would guess Asensio would miss out as he's clearly the one who isn't needed as much.

[AV84]

I suppose having someone like Asensio fresh for league games would be a good thing too.

[PeterWithe]

Maybe thats the hold up with Asencio? He's been told we don't plan to have him in the CL squad so he's waiting to see what else turns up.

So if can’t be bothered at ManU.  Why all of a sudden will he turn on the effort?

Just to spite you.

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

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

You would expect better from their chief sports writer wouldn’t you

Yep.  To paraphrase that article : don’t get any ideas above your station Villa fans, Rashford is too good for the likes of you and if he proves himself will be off to a more worthy club.

I'd be absolutely fine with him performing really well for us and then going somewhere else.
The part about it threatening the integrity of the competition is hyperbolic nonsense though.

While they stick their fingers in their ears to shut out Man City’s 115 charges.....

[Drummond]

Maybe he was going to cut off his nose to spite his face but didn't have a big enough knife.

Less of the big nose jibes!
