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

[ozzjim]

Is Rashford still in Saudi doing his rehab? For all the money we're paying him, you'd think he'd at least be surrounded by his temporary coaches and teammates at Bodymoor. If the other injured players have to sit through hours of classroom-tactics, Rashy should too.

He was in Dubai, but I am pretty sure he's been at Bodymoor today.

Rashford used us to prove a point, that he is still a good player. Reality is he probably thinks he is too good for us.

On that basis he definitely will not be going back to play for Manure

We used each other , fuck buddies !! I dont think he is an Unai player longterm

Isn't it prevailing wisdom that he's with us because Unai has loved him for years and wanted us to move heaven and earth to bring him in?

There's a long list of reasons why he might not be with us next season, but I reckon Emery not wanting him is going to be somewhere near the bottom.

[ozzjim]

Yeah I think if Unai has the choice, he'll be signed like a shot. I also think he'd be far more effective output wise down the left and could actually forge a very decent partnership with Watkins. Probably a devastating one in some games.

This might not be entirely correct but I think Emery is persisting with Rodgers as more a right sided midfield player because he wants to play both him and Rashford in the same side. We know Emery tries things in games as well as training to see if something works. It can be risky given the importance of certain games. But we all know he can play central or on on the left, but if we keep Rashford that's his primary position. Rashford is better than Morgan on the left so to have both of them in the same team and firing would be great. I also think regarding signing Rashford, if Emery wants him and Rashford wants to stay the club will find a way to make it happen. Both sides will need to concede something for the contract.

Surely he is playing Rogers down the right because he wants to play Rogers and Asensio in the same side. Rashford is only taking Rogers potential slot on the left or Watkins through the middle.

There are games where you could happily play Rashford left, Rogers central and Malen from the right at home, with Ollie up top. The next step for this team is being more ruthless and getting a few big wins on the board. I see Asensio as a game changer from the bench though, not a guaranteed starter.

Amorim is comically shit.

How bad have Amorim's United been in the league?

Manchester United were already on a downward trajectory when Amorim took over from Ten Hag last year.

The Red Devils sat 14th in the Premier League with three wins from their opening nine matches.

Things were bad, but they got worse.

While a new manager can often bring struggling teams a turn in fortunes or a so-called 'new manager bounce', no such thing has happened at United and instead their dour form has intensified under Amorim.

They have accrued 24 points from 25 league games, dropped to 16th and their win record sits at an uncomfortably low 24%.

Against the 16 non-relegated teams this season they have picked up just 23 points from a possible 87. If results against the three relegated teams were removed from the Premier League, United would sit rock bottom.

Since 26 January, Amorim's side have only beaten relegated duo Ipswich and Leicester in the league.

I personally think there’s zero chance we’ll sign Rashford for next season

[cdbearsfan]

I'd be delighted with him on loan again.

We are carrying Asensio in recent games really. Doesn't make much sense in moving Rogers to accommodate him.

Agree . It was that one passing moment on the dance floor.

Based on the Barca semi final matches, would Rashford get into the team?

I can understand him wanting to go to Barca, but if they're not interested, or can't afford him, you'd have to think we're the "obvious" option for him? Assuming we make CL, of course (and all the financial stuff is workable)
