Neither should be playing every game, for their own good. I think it'd be fantastic for them both. Rashford can learn a lot, and Ibra will know he has one of the best young prospects in the game to keep him on his toes.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Zlatan is 34. Rashford will get plenty of games.
Is this guy being prosecuted under charge of being a metallic Serbian rapist?
Zlatan. 
Interesting what sort of deals do you imagine United will now be able to get because of employing Ibrahimovic?
Most here drooling at the moment,if things go to shit,bet those same will come out and call a club all kinds of names. Anyway think with this deal(if true) we as club cant lose in any way,no matter of his wages. The pull,earnings we will get of his name...i know for us fans,this is not important but think club cares about that.
Same sort of deals they always do, but with higher brand value to leverage
We'll have a lot of games next season Ibrahimovic won't be playing in them all. So rotation, and as you say impact sub and filling in on the right also.
He gets to train, play and learn alongside one of the best.
We will play Premier League, Europa League, FA cup and Capital one cup. So he will have a lot of games. Also, he could start some games (to rest Zlatan) and be the substitute. If Ibra join us for 1 season, Rashford will be just 19 years old next season.
Free furnitures from IKEA?
Nah, not me. If he fails here then the mods are free to ban me.
So you are saying we will get the same sort of sponsorship deals as before but because of signing Zlatan companies will now offer us more?
You could be right but i wouldn't have thought signing one player would increase smaller sponsorship deals all that significantly.
They should really have a Zlatan range.
Aye, his speciality was pumping Norwich for 5 per game.
Looks like Duncan Castles had his finger glued to the pulse on this one.
And pressure is gone.
Yeah that might work, then United could resell them on Ebay and the whole deal pays for itself
After 15 years of "never having watched him play a good game", suddenly the Caf is all giddy about Zlatan.
Finally the caftards have seen the light.

Yeah, I think so. Enough to off-set some of his wages at least. Ibra has one of the biggest brands in football, possibly top 5? He's not just any old player. Ibra + United is the perfect combination from a marketing perspective. That's partly why we're willing to fork out for Galatico type signings (imo).
People weren't really expecting Rashford to be automatic starter for next season?
It's huge pressure telling a 19 year old to get you 25 goals. He's not ready to do that and he'd get plenty of games also. We need to be patient with him rather than overhyping him.

I'd be excited to sign one of the legends of the game. But then I couldn't wait til another 34 year old legend left as he was dragging us down (Stevie). It's always 50 50 with these ageing legends. They have to play because of their status but may stink the place out as the risk.
You're mixing him up with Cavani.
I've seen it said about Cavani as well, but it was said about Zlatan for years on here before that.
Fair enough mate lets hope it's the case then.
But having said that if he's banging in goals every week i doubt United will care if his wages are being offset by sponsorship deals.
By people who didn't watch him play regularly.
Thing is it was evident for quite a few years Gerrard was in decline. His quality meant he could still contribute but he was far from his peak past 30. Zlatan however seems to be getting better if anything, he's just had his best ever season.
The state of the defending in that video is laughable.
Thank god Ibra is still one to score, not to slip.
Im going to be the sane guy in this forum and wondeer how we can accomodate both rooney and zlatan in the same team.
Yeah it's a bit concerning given the quality of defending in the premie… oh wait
Yeah, same, I couldn't give a shite what he costs I just can't wait to see him at Old Trafford!
I don't see what's wrong with that
That's his agent right? They reported on what they told him and quoted him directly
Most likely it was how the agent wanted the story spun
Sarcasm doesn't work here I'm afraid. He'd struggle to come up against defending as bad as that against a Championship side in the cup.
I have no idea if this is true fact, but I'm looking at a tweet from "Fergie's Fledgings" that claims that Zlatan's club has finished 1st in its league 9 of the last 10 seasons and second in the other.
It's a team game, of course. But the chance to pick up a guy who's had this kind of success at the club level, even if he's a right back, should not be passed up. Get this deal done and move on to Greizmann and Kante ASAP. We can linger over the CB hole.

never really seen that Tbf. Cavani now, saw that multiple times.
A few weeks before the titanic sunk, Captain Edward Smith was heard to say "The titanic has not sunk yet".
Really excited about this but I doubt we will hear anything more concrete until the NYSE opens.
