So poor decision making from a 21 year old footballer is proof that his ego is out of control? Ok. Sure. Gotya.
The Mason Greenwood that was not close to make the English U21-squad? Him? Something should be done with the newbie-system on here.
Greenwood is potential, and that's it for now. No way he could step into Rashford's boots. We can argue all day about the amount Rashford's getting paid but Greenwood is far from being a ready-made replacement.
Difference of opinions should be cherished. Wumming, not so much. If you get on the Caf and claim that no one would pay anything or even just 20m for Rashford you are so far out of context that those kind of stupid comments should be challenged. Thats not expressing a serious opinion, it is winding people up. I would really despair for our fanbase if posters like that were not reacted to.

Himself and martial are potentially good players but their performances are nowhere near worth the wages they are getting now. Same with lingard. I don’t see where the incentive is to not down tools if things go wrong and just continue to pick up that kind of money and keep bigging yourself up on social media. If they are in it just for the money and fame then they’ve already “made” it having achieved very little in the grand scheme of things, especially for a club of uniteds supposed ambitions. There’s inflation and there’s stupidity. Which is it?
Its neither. Its reality. Rashford is going to get 200k because it his market value. Its what he is going to get somewhere else if not at United. If anyone thinks that United is going to fight the inflation of the transfer and wage market ourselves, please keep on being delusional and not being competative going forward.
13 goals last year. 200k per week is not his true market value it’s his potential value. We are paying him as if he’s a top PL player now but the performances aren’t up to scratch. He might get 200k if he went to another club on a free but do you see anyone who’d pay 50m and 200k a week for him now cause I don’t. What if in 3 or 4 years he’s not kicked on. His next deal will be 300k a week or he walks... it’s madness. We are so baldy run it’s just funny at this stage
Both Rashford and Lingard come through the academy, I like to think there are people a the club that knows them personally, and knows what sort of persons they are. If they have the right mindset, like Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, I don't see a problem paying them top of the line salary.
What? People aren’t getting paid millions because they have the right mindset, that is just basics.
It went under the radar I suppose, Martial should’ve never been given 200k pw neither.
Hold on a second, that can't be right. Are you telling me Salah accepted a 200k/w contract after he broke the PL goalscoring record? And that we're giving the same contract to Rashford? Please someone tell me this is wrong information.
I´m sorry, but how is Rashford not a top PL-player? He is a full on English international, even a starter at his age. And he has been playing most of his time at LW for United which probably is not even his best position.
Well I responded specifically to the part where concern was raised if Rashford would down tools if we paid him 200k a week.
I guess that would all depend on your definition of a top PL player?
Salah was on 3.5 million Euros net wages + bonuses at Roma in 2016-17 season, that's 120K pounds per week gross. Unless Salah took pay cut to join Liverpool, he is on more than 200K per week. This is why I said, how wages are reported is very important, few deals are just reported on base wages and bonuses are not included.

I remember stating years ago to an Arsenal supporting mate that Pogba was better than Wilshere. Pogba was playing in our reserves at the time, whilst Wilshere was an Arsenal regular and an England international. Predictably, he laughed. Safe to say he isn't laughing now. Greenwood is on another level to Rashford from a technical point of view. Obviously there are other variables involved in becoming a top footballer, but I would be shocked if Rashford is viewed as the better player once Greenwood has been afforded a reasonable number of games.
Sterling isn’t “good potential”, he’s one of the best wide players in the world.
Jesus is on his first contract, Rashford was on 20k when he signed in 2016 (not sure if he signed one later again).
Sterling was on huge contract too when he signed in 2015 and at that time he was also young player with huge potential.
I meant at the time he signed for City after two very good seasons with Liverpool, when he was at Rashford's age. Right now, there's no denying he's a superb wide forward.
As you may have guessed by reading the following messages on this thread, i have conceded that the internet provided me with misguided information about that one. Still, it would be very interesting to see some reliable information regarding other youngsters with great potential around Europe.
Martial is, and always has been, the better player.
Really? I don’t know about which is further as far as reaching their individual potential, but Rashford’s attitude seems much better to me, also his bottom level is higher than Martial’s, when he’s off he looks like a pub player.
I agree, was confused by some of the replies here.
Of course, when you take only those attributes into consideration, Rashford comes out on top (although, tbh I don't agree with all of them).
The entire team have performed badly the last couple of years, so it’s really hard to tell.
Your comment is equally as daft, Greenwood’s 17 as if he was ever going to make the U21 squad when his competition is players with actual senior experience.
that's what it is really, Martial has everything to be a top top top player but he lacks the professionalism and the determination to do. Rashford can become a very good player that bracket of players who are great but not truely world class in terms of ability but looks to have the drive to fulfill his Potential, example:
People think way too simplistic with situations like this.
Didn't see where Rashford signed a new one when I searched. I just saw that his wages increase each year he's been with us since then.
