Pogba, De Gea and Rashford can have whatever salary they want. The rest should be negotiated.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Not really, but he's got a sentence in our most popular new singalong song.
Ole’s at the wheel,
Tell me how good does it feel,
We’ve got Sanchez, Paul Pogba and Fred,
Marcus Rashford is Manc born and bred
Doo doo doo doo doo doooo
The greatest of English football
We’ve won it all
How anyone can complain about paying under £10m a year wages for a player we'd value at over £100m if he were to leave, I don't know. I'd have thought he could get £250k a week to be honest. It's not as if we could easily replace him with someone better. I'm surprised folk get worked up by this sort of thing, Utd earned about £600m last year. That figure could have been £500m or £700m and none of us would have cared about the difference, yet a few million extra in wages to one of our best players and suddenly it's an issue?
De Gea, Rashford and Pogba dont have songs? What about Mata?
Great news. Tie him down to a nice 6 year deal, if not more.
People scoffing at those wages - how much are young potential like his going for in the market atm? You'd probably be looking at 75m - 100m to replace him - and I'm being conservative.

De Gea has one. It's "Everywhere you go, always take de gea with you" to the tune of Always take the weather with you.
Pogba doesn't have one, but Mata does:
Of course. Who would want to miss out on the glory of the Ole era?
Imagine being a post millennial, it's like being an after thought. I'd be insisting on Gen Z...I genuinely believed that millennials were kids born post 2000
I find it very random that a post millennial can be born in 1997 or 95 as some versions state.
Harry Kanes on 200,000 quid per week....But I think 150,000 may be just about right for Rashford considering the market right now.Will be interesting to see what De Gea and Pogba want from the club...They May want parity with Sanchez....
Good news. The problem in terms of our pay structure is with our squad/backup players (Jones, Rojo, Young, Bailly, Fellaini, Smalling) and with the players who were bought in to be star players but aren't up to the standard that their salary would suggest (Lukaku, Sanchez, Fred, Mata).
Our first XI if you exclude RB and CB which are essentially vacant positions currently (De Gea, Lindelof, Shaw, Matic, Herrera, Pogba, Martial, Rashford, Lingard) are paid exactly what you'd expect for a club like United.
Rashford is firmly in the latter category and should be paid similarly to Martial/Matic and only behind Pogba/De Gea.

Paying shit wages only gets you shit players.
Fixed that for you.
Rashford's goal to game tally is currently better than Ronaldo's was after the same amount of games for United. We should be doing everything possible to keep the rest of Europe away from one of our prized assets, that can ultimately be one of the best strikers in Europe.
If Rashford goes on to have a 25+ goal season next season no one will question the salary, they'll all be talking about how much he would cost in the current market instead.
Reports are that De Gea wants the same as Sanchez and you can't blame him, he's crucial to us.
Easily worth it. Not even a question. I'd say if required pay him 200k/wk to tie him down here.
As far as concerns regarding wage budget getting out of hand, we should look at offloading Sanchez and Lukaku (especially if he is going to play second fiddle) in addition to the likely departures of Valencia, Darmian, Rojo/Jones

Well said! Also, i would rather this money go to Rashford, who will spend and distribute a lot of his income around Manchester, than to the Glazers. In general I'm fine with a club's money going to players rather than owners.
Better than being in the Arsenal situation where they "can't afford" to sign Ramsey on a new contract.
Unless there has been a push from Rashford's side, I don't see why the hurry to give him a new contract. Isn't there enough contract situations to already worry about?
Does he have an agent or does his family look into things?

150k doesn't seem like a bad deal for United compared to the wages other people in the squad are getting, and the wages we would likely give to any player we brought in to replace him.
I don't think those wages are bad for Rashford. Trust me, I would be the first to complain about our wages. It's not a problem to give our best players or premier young talents good wages. My problem is paying big wages to players who are lucky to be at United and would not be payed that well at other top 6 clubs.
I don’t think his agent is doing a good job if he signs for 150k per week - he’s going to be our first choice CF from here on in so he should be getting parity with Lukaku at least!
I don’t necessarily agree with such high figures but that’s what he will expect! I would imagine the English tax carries over to salary too!
As a more general point, the club really need to shift Sanchez as it completely distorts the wage structure. I suppose if you removed Sanchez and the top earners were 1) DDG 2) Pogba 3) Lukaku / Rashford and then Martial @ 200k, that would be hard to argue against! Obviously, the club need to look at the Lukaku situation going forward as 250k for a backup CF isn’t really ideal!

Let us all moan.
Transfermarkt says «relatives».
This is good news and I don't think the amount is crazy.
With each passing game I become more disappointed with myself for not seeing that his poor form was down to Jose and not his own ability. I genuinely doubted he'd live up to his early potential.
Excellent news, if he continues to improve at the rate he is we have a special player on our hands for many years to come. You’re worth what your employer is willing to pay you
It does look like our new policy is just out pay the competition so that they aren't tempted to leave. The big contract we need to make sure we get nailed down in the next few seasons is Pogba.
We always paid good our top players. Rashford IMO is our fourth best player after Pogba, De Gea and Martial, so 150k/week (after bonuses) is not that much for one of our top players. Signing someone like him, would cost north of 100m, and will be instantly in 200k/week.
That’s exactly what we are doing, what year are you in? Do you think if he goes on to prove what you hope he will prove that he would ask for £150k a week? He’s getting what he deserves right now, and if he gets even better, he’d get even more.
More penny pinching by the Glazers I see, going with the cheap option as always of extending a contract, instead of just buying a better player, which is what real men do.
Traditionally, attackers get paid more too. I agree about the replacement price, it makes a lot more sense to tie Rashford down to big wages than have to replace him with someone who costs north of £100m.
Sign him right now! He is playing great, is young and surely will only get better and better. One of the hottest prospects, there are rumors about Madrid wanting him so we better secure him on a long long deal.
United is known to have the 2nd largest wage bill in the whole world, just below Barca, but above Madrid. So, those numbers might be accurate.
Anyway, with recent bump up on wages, United is solidifying that position as one of the top team in the world (on paying wages).
Yeah, lets buy a young player for 200m and give him 300k per week, thats how it's done. Giving Rashford 150k is too much of a good business
I also don't think any club would be stupid enough to pay some of our other players that stupid wages. Not when we've been a nothing team past SAF.
Honestly don't get people complaining about his salary?
How much do you think it would cost to sign Mbappe and pay him? If anything Rashford should wait until the end of next season and hold us ransom for a new contract.

"The games gone..."
I put the link from totalsportek. It's literally there.
Anyway, all sources put United as above Real Madrid. On wages. That's even they've just won Champions League 3 times in a row.
Rashford isn't on the same level as Mbappe.
If Rashford payed in the French league he'd be better.
They also just got rid of Ronaldo.
