That part is insane. Which attacker in the top 6 could rashford bench exactly? I understand martial not being a regular on work ethic alone because he does have the talent but rashford? Even if we inlcuded wide forwards to the discussion Im struggling to see who he replaces in any team other than Arsenal.
Willian made 56 appearances, Pedro 52, Higuain 18, Morata 24, Shaqiri, Lallana and Origi a combined 70. Even at City, Jesus would not have been bought if Rashford was already there, and I think he would have done significantly more in the 30 league appearances than Jesus did.

Now do yourself a favour and sack off your hanger-on Jessparagus and knuckle the feck down.
He's been nothing but knuckling down since he got in the first team. Rashford has been giving 100 percent since his debut. He's a
friend with one of the players on social media being in silly videos, big fecking deal. Hardly banging prostitute's, drinking all night and missing training.
Good words and an admirable attitude towards the club. Can't doubt his work rate and attitude one bit.

But in no planet is he worth £200k a week. That is an absolute joke and balls up. If he was genuine in his words, we'd have been able to sign him for sub £150k. Either he's not as in love with us as he says, or we suck major balls in contract negotiations. Probably the latter.
He's 21 and going to be leading the line for us now. It makes sense that he was getting a good contract. 150k was never happening, he'll be well worth it a year or two. Love to know what price he'd be sold now for on your planet. Stop moaning and get behind a class player who actually loves the club.
The team is lamenting 6th? You played a big part by playing shite?? No problem, son. You’ll still be rewarded handsomely. That speech alone worth another 50k/wk.

Can’t wait our 200k/wk striker scoring goals like other team 200k/wk striker (i.e. Kane).
Your speech alone was worth 50k. Stop moaning, he'll be first choice and no reason he can't be competing with the best strikers in the league with a run in the team.
Ah, I get it. We pay double what everyone's worth. That's our game. Smart.
So you expected him another club would pay him 100k a week, have a day off
His agent has done wonders. Not even 5+1 either. So we can expect another round of negotiations in a couple seasons. The joy.
Stop moaning, if he continues to grow to be the main man at United you'll be happy we got him signed today. What year do people think it is, we finished 6th and are retaining the few
Great! £200k a week plus bonuses for a kid who has never scored more than 10 league goals in a season. And has never scored more than 13 league goals in a season.

To get that kind of money, he would have to be at least 20 goals in all competitions by now.

I've seen few teenage sensations come along in my time ( Owen, Rooney, Mbappe, Ronaldo (both), Messi). All of these so called teenage / early twenties attackers had 15 plus goal season or a few by the time they Rashy's age.

Based on his record and games to goal ratio he is closer to Francis Jeffers who had 33% goals/games ratio at Everton before moving to Arsenal (20 goals in 60 games).

Our Rashy has 45 goals / 170 games. Which is 26% ratio.

He better prove himself to score more than 20 goals this season with those wages. That's all I say!
Your bullshit stat of 45 /170 games. How many of them games did he play 90 minutes or even close to it. He was a bench player under Jose and looked amazing under Ole before he picked up the injury. Stop moaning!

I'm delighted as I think he is already a good player with the attributes to be very, very good if he gets the right coaching. I am a little surprised at the figures quoted though, I feel like he has not earned that sort of money yet. I worry this might be the start of players looking at what Sanchez is earning for doing very little and asking for too much money.

He's 21 and shouldn't be leading us week in week out. That's my point. He has a lot of potential but hasn't sustained consistency anywhere near long enough to command £200k a week.

It makes sense that he was getting a good contract. 150k was never happening, he'll be well worth it a year or two.
£150k is a good contract. The bold bit is presumptuous at best.

Love to know what price he'd be sold now for on your planet. Stop moaning and get behind a class player who actually loves the club.
This is a forum for discussion. Good points are raised and bad. No one is "moaning".

What does his sell on value have to do with it? Do you think Barcelona or PSG or City would offer £200k a week to him? Jog on, mate.

Usually I'm in the camp of players getting more money but 200K basic is simply unacceptable, it's going to increase our wage budget every year, now half decent players in the squad will start demanding similar amounts after a decent season or two.

Rashford's agent has done well and once again our negotiators were idiotic enough to left this very late.

Unbelievable people are actually happy about this.

It’s decisions like this that make us the laughing stock of football. It’s just pure embarrassment.

The renewal in itself or the figures of his contract?

@VP89 your everything wrong with this forum these days. Absolute moaner polluting threads with multiple posts. This thread should be something to be happy about. A young academy player who clearly has the tools to bring us forward signs an extension. It's not a discussion though, it's just you venting over what should be offered that isn't set in reality. Marcus was always getting this deal with our wage structure and what we bring in. He's one of our most valuable players, this was always going to happen.

Take a look at Martial's contract thread, see the reaction then vs how he's viewed now. These large contracts just serve to pile pressure on our youngsters who shouldn't even be first teamers yet.

What the feck are you on about? Look at my first post in the thread - I praised his attitude, work rate and welcomed his words in the interview. What I am against is maintaining the structure of overpaying our players.

Him being academy is immaterial. His overall output isn't as valuable to the degree of his wages either. Call a spade a spade - very likeable player with high potential but not worth £200k a week. It's not a moan, it's a statement. Get your head out of your own ass and put away the pitchfork attitude to anyone that wants to debate cons with pros.

It's not pros and cons is it though, a debate usually has people discussing and debating points. It's just been toxic venting from you today in this thread, we don't know the breakdown of his contract. What the base line weekly wage is and what are the bonuses and incentives. Far too long cnuts in here have been moaning and getting away with it. I'll be calling you out in other threads if you continue it and other posters, this needs to stop. I'm not saying everybody has to agree far from it, I'm saying stop filling threads with toxic negative posts. The fan base is clearly frustrated but this is a positive move by the club.

Why the hell are United doing contract renewals during the transfer window?? It's ridiculous. Renewals can be done any time... Do United consider this something akin to a new signing? I hope bloody not!
Terrible isn't it. They can't work on two things at once so our transfer business stops while they sort out Rashford. Oh my gosh. It's so tragic. My word.

Both imo, rashford isnt even an elite striker he can barely score into double figures and yet hes on more than Salah, firmino, mane, aguero, kane even vardy,

Theres something very wrong about rewarding a player that's done nothing.

You only have to look on twitter rival fans are just laughing at this news. It's just another stupid error to put with the countless foolish decisions this board has made in recent years.

Keep reading 'Speaks like a fan', like that's some kind of achievement...

He might 'Speak like a fan', but he plays like an upper mid-table striker, and has just haggled the club up to 200,000 a week...

We've just put Marcus Rashford on the same wage as Harry fecking Kane...!

Paying premium wage for a player that wouldn't start (as a CF) at any other top 6 club.

To be blunt - I think it's yet more awful business from the club.
Look at this overreaction using incorrect information. Also, not even factoring in when contracts were signed and the state of the market.

I dont know, but its hard to know ahead of time what someone is going to be paid in bonuses. If they knew that already they wouldnt be bonuses.
That's not how they report it. They use the total per year and divide it. Each season has a bonus set tied to that season so it's easy to work out what the basic+bonus is. It's only listed weekly because that's how it has been.

I've only voiced concern about the wages, nothing else. I've stated a few pros in my first post. You evidently struggle to read.

His weekly wages are reported by BBC at £200k a week. Now with all due respect, go feck yourself sideways.

God this place has deteriorated. He has raised very valid points and a bunch of sensitive twats are shooting him down. Astonishing. Engage in healthy discussion, don’t fecking call anyone that disagrees with you ‘toxic’.

You don't have to. In fact, you shouldn't. Immerse yourself in twitter idiocy for too long and you'll find that shit is contagious.

He is one of few players who actually looked like he gave a feck last year, so it's difficult not to like him on the pitch with bunch of idiots next to him who weren't even doing much of running to begin with, let alone something more.

Yeah but it speaks volumes that rival fans are literally laughing at us. It’s not even a joking but quietly scared laugh it’s a proper we don't care it’s hilarious united have fecked up again thing. Go on any comments page of a website and they all know we’ve been bent over yet again by an average player.

It’s just another awful decision in a long line of very bad decisions made in recent seasons.

I can’t believe the amount of fans that think this is good news. We are paying 200k per week plus bonuses for a 10 goals per season striker, even Ashley Barnes scored more in the EPL last season. He was pushing for a move to get a raise and Man United, as we have done so many times since SAF left, has gave in. Ridiculous from the board and Ole !

No, it really really doesn't. Rival fans have always found reasons to laugh at us, even during our most successful periods. Assessing a situation based on their mockeries makes no sense to me.

Yeah...

They laughed when we appointed Moyes
They laughed at the Rooney contract / wages
They laughed at us letting Woodward run the footy
They laughed at the appointment of Ole...

Erm, yeah.

Rivals were laughing at us previously out of bitterness of our success.

Now they are laughing at us because we have become the laughing stock of the league. Finishing 6th, trophlyess, playing crap football, giving insane wages to under performing players and playing loads with nothing to show of on the pitch. Not to mention the attitude of some of our players on social media as Lingard.

If I have a rival like that I won't stop laughing at them. We were doing the same with Arsenal too.

The same posters moaning about Ed getting another noodle sponsors, but happy when the club paying an average player 200k/wk. Logic.

Great news that we have tied him down with a new contract. Though I'm not sure he warrants the reported wages. He is currently 21, and not scoring enough goals for a top lead striker. So I feel that we shouldn't be paying him as much with this contract. It just feels like we are giving him a big contract over potential, than him actually earning it. Plus in three years time he will be coming back wanting even more money.

Saying that if he does manage to keep improving and ups his goal output this season he may justify it.

It's simply too much money. I wonder what they base this figure on. If it's on goals then he's costing about 500k per goal assuming he nets 20 goals, which for him would be a massive improvement, and that's not counting assists or other bonuses like appearances and goals. People would be estatic with 30 goals from him but that's 350k per goal. Is he really worth that amount of money?

The money in football is leaving you kind of jaded at this point about the whole thing.

How about all those haters look at it this way.

Manchester United has signed an England International 21yrs old striker for 40m. Does it sound better and more of a deal than that Sevilla striker?

It used to be because of jealousy, now they laugh at us for real because the club is a joke. We aren’t a threat anymore and we aren’t a powerhouse anymore, we’re just a club making stupid choices, which is making us the laughing stock of world football.

On the day Moyes 6 year contract ended, we give a 21 yr old an insane contract. Sums the club up

Happy he has signed. I think 150K would have been about right so the contract value s a little OTT and disappointing.

However, he now needs to step up. He is not a promising youngster any more, he is a guy paid over 10 million pounds a year and a starter for Manchester Utd. I hope he realizes this and it spurs him on to be the talisman a top earner should be.
