He was hardly given a platform to shine in Paris, and was key to our goal.
the way we played v PSG didn't benefit Rashford, as didn't Southampton not wanting to play Football yesterday - still, a good option for us to change it up when needed.

I really like him, he seems a decent sort and he’s obviously a massive talent. He worked hard yesterday in a tough roll, he was often surrounded by two or three players. He tracked back and made a brilliant tackle at one point which shows he’s committed.

For the massive wage that he will have I’m just not entirely sure we can do with the negativity that surrounds him from the press, they have it in for him and are just waiting for him to fail or have a bad game.

The other night, the commentators mentioned he’s the only one in gloves. It’s small, but it’s there, if that was SJM in gloves I bet it wouldn’t have been said.

I’m sure, just because he went against the establishment for doing something good, he’s now a marked man.

He may have worn gloves because sometimes it snows in April.

He's a good player and I'd love to keep him if the price and wages were right. We wouldn't sign him otherwise.

We've looked more potent with him in the team and he's someone that increases our profile too.

I always find it odd that people get worked up about players wearing gloves. If you’ve got cold hands and it makes you feel better so what? To be a real man you’ve got to suffer where ever you can I suppose…

Wherever he goes Man U are going to have to subsidise his wages for the duration of his 3 year contract. That will be reflected in any fee they get. Nobody is going to pay him £300k a week going forward. I reckon £20m fee & £150k a week but only if we qualify for the Champions League.

It's more likely he's only interested in a move away from England.

Is it the temperature,  or some kind of superstition thing?

Well either way, if it helps someone in some way I don’t see the big deal.

He may have Reynaud's syndrome. I recently realised that I have that. My hands used to kill me with pain in the cold, as a kid playing school sports in the winter. My mum took me to the doctor, who, in his best looking down his nose old school tie way went 'Mnerrh, bad circulation' and that was the end of that. Nothing to be done, apparently...

I know. I don't see the big deal either. I'm pretty sure John Carew was a real man.

My wife has it and even on a mildly cold day she is in pain with it.

IIRC it used to be called Industrial White finger and was caused by over frequency use of power tools (road digging, factory workers etc) caused nerve damage and poor circulation.

She used to get funny looks in the car when driving in gloves until the kids got her a furry steering wheel cover.

I really hope he gets us to the cup final(s) and scores the winner in both of them

But i would not sign him full time just in case we have the Couthinio situation and we are stuck with huge wages and still the huge circus around him.

Sometimes he feels so bad.

His work for the Konsa goal was exemplary.

He was sensational in that second half. We lost our way when him and SJM came off.
