That’s two games I’ve seen Rowe play now (don’t really remember him in the group game) - one brilliant and one not so much. Might be good, but wouldn’t put him in the “definitely sign” category.
Maybe. The way Bologna set up didn't favour him.

Cash also was much improved and got into him very early.

Cash played like last week was a personal affront and was absolutely not happening again. Tremendous.

Indeed - as I said last week, when he was great, he might be amazing but need to see much sustained evidence.

Wingers struggle to offer sustained evidence. It's part of their DNA.

True, but for me personally that still doesn’t say one good game against us is the answer. I’m not saying that is what you’re saying by the way.

Today, Barca are not buying Rashford. Is that because of him not taking a paycut or can they not afford £21m.

If we get into the Champions League, and can make it work financially, I'd love to have him back here.  But I suspect he'll have some very attractive offers from top clubs across Europe.
