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

[Steve67]

He's talking in the past tense, so not coming back. Would be the left sided player we really need. 

[AV84]

Shame he didn't get to finish out the season, get a little clap from the fans for his efforts. If he goes abroad unlikely he'll be back at VP for a retrospective clap. Oh well. I think the whole thing is a glowing advertisement for the club anyway.

[Richard E]

I wonder how differently things might have turned out if he’d been fit for the semi final against Palace.

🚨 Marcus Rashford will return to Man United after loan to Aston Villa… and will be available for £40m this summer.

Same price as buy option clause into his Villa loan contract available also to other clubs.

Rashford will assess all options ahead of the summer transfer window.

[Hookeysmith]

I think his loan spell with us overall has been successful
He has made the difference in certain games, pity about the injury

Having said all that I’ve never been that keen on signing him
He’s been great while he’s been with us model professional, but that’s only a few months and I just wouldn’t trust him on a 2/3 year contract, thats obviously because of the things I’ve seen and read, but that’s just the way it is
If we got the Rashford of the last six months then fine, but I’m not sure we would on a longer term

It will be interesting where he ends up to see whether my doubts were unfounded or not

This is a perfect example of my feelings towards the time with us. I hope he does find the right club.

Ah well it's his loss. We should close this thread now.

[Toronto Villa]

Ah well it's his loss. We should close this thread now.

He's gone back to Man U because that's who he is contracted to. Where has he said he's not coming back to us?

[olaftab]

He's not even if wanted to. With us being limited to a wage bill 70% of turnover next season by UEFA and loss of CL money there is a cat in hell's chance of Rashford returning. We have some major adjustment issues this coming season.

So if we can’t solve that issue what’s the penalty?

[olaftab]

Monetary fines to start with then escalation to possibly exclusion from UEFA tournaments.

It’s 80% isn’t it then 70% the season after. Also we did comply with the 90% figure as due to shifting our year end we were at 86% not the 96% quoted. Also with the extra money in this years accounts Diaby/Duran/CL to start with apparently we’ll be compliant with the 80% as well.

There are better left sided attacking players available from Manchester clubs……

[VillaTim]

Monetary fines to start with then escalation to possibly exclusion from UEFA tournaments.

Can we not just throw a team of top barristers at it and gridlock the process for years and carry on regardless .

[django]

He was a good option, as was Asensio, but I’d have been thinking we could spend our money better elsewhere even before we missed CL qualification.

[Richard E]

I’m happy for NSWE to chuck large quantities of money at me to fight this.
