Ha, good oneIf he does go it would be a far better move for Marcus than for United. A sale we would regret.

Heit’s all moot anyway, there’s absolutely no way the new owners sell him without having a proper look at him first. I’m sure Brailsford and the new staff will fancy themselves to get more consistency out of him and to put a much better team around him on the pitch. I can’t see us selling unless it’s a crazy bid given the new money behind us. He’s surely on his last chance though as the main guy.
100m is good money for him and since he's come through the academy massively helps our FFP solution. He's already got his biggest contract signing here so there will be very few chances here on in to make money on him.Ha, good one
Imagine Rashford trying to play the late Giggs CM roleI’d try to sell him.
For whatever reason he just doesn’t look bothered to be here and I don’t think he’s that good a player. Once that pace goes, he’s a very limited player. There isn’t going to be some playing renaissance a la Ryan Giggs with him.
Maybe the change of scenery revitalises him or maybe he begins the slide into mediocrity.
It would be a hell of message by INEOS to the rest of the club that no-one is safe regardless of being the poster boy, and everyone doesn’t get complacent and comfy, which I believe the Glazers have let happen with players like Pogba and Sancho.
I was right about INEOS/SJR and I’ll be right about this too if it happens.Ha, good one
Our fans as always are absolutely nuts, Rashford has been the only player for absolutely years now that consistently scores against the very best teams. We don’t have anyone else like that in the squad and we’d have to spend every penny received to replace him & then hope like hell the new signing works out.If he does go it would be a far better move for Marcus than for United. A sale we would regret.
Rashford is really really likeable. A local lad who hasn’t forgotten his roots and stands up for people much less fortunate than himself. A really well spoken lad also.He’d also be the last major one of the Pogba Lingard Rashford Henderson Williams Martial and even Greenwood vintage of homegrown and young players that aren’t very likeable. None have been particularly well managed.

Marcus is just the latest scapegoat in a long line, seemingly because he’s human, has human traits and emotions, and is fallible like a human. He seems to be held responsible for not single-handedly winning us every treble since his debut, and there is more than a touch of jealousy of his wages and lifestyle too. It’s sad really.Rashford is really really likeable. A local lad who stands up for people.
There really aren’t many more likeable footballers so no idea what you’re basing your opinion on?
Fanboy rubbish. People dont like him because he looks like he detests every minute he plays football for the club. And struggles to break into a slow jog most of the time.Marcus is just the latest scapegoat in a long line, seemingly because he’s human, has human traits and emotions, and is fallible like a human.

I think a LW makes perfect sense when you look at their squad:Doesn’t make a lot of sense. Mbappe is their #9, despite buying Ramos and Kolo Muani. That Barcola kid is on the LW. So will they get Rashford with the intent on playing him as a ST? Would be a strange way to go about things.
My guess is we'd buy a backup for Garnacho for a moderate amount and then spend the fee and wages elsewhere (new right side of defence, a #6, an RW and another striker).@Adnan Who would you have a young replacement then?
Id be down if we’re going reasonable like for like:
- Tel
So we replace our starting left winger/forward with A Striker and right winger well that make sense .Olise & Ferguson in, then perhaps we could consider it
It's hard to argue with selling him if we can get 100M for him, the downside risk is much higher than the upside at this point, it's a ton of money, we still basically need to rebuild most of the squad and Garnacho is one of 4 players (Mainoo, Hojlund, Lisandro) you would expect to be here for the next 5+ years and is probably best off in his same position.Not selling him at this point would be silly business. Poster boy or not, everyone gets moved on one way or the other. So far in his United career, he's won us feck all, even if he goes on to be better it won't be to the point of us regretting fleecing them for 120m+ and simply walking out of our FFP issues at the most critical turning point of our club over the last 35years.
Rashford wouldn't be our starting LW if we had a capable RW, Garnacho has proved that he'd start over Rashford already this season.So we replace our starting left winger/forward with A Striker and right winger well that make sense .
Who even with a bad drought still has more league goals than Rashford this season…So Rashford "isn't that good", and the guy you want to replace him is Kvaratskhelia...
In this market he is. Lukaku was 100m, Grealish was 100m, Felix was 120m, Coutinho was 105m, Antony 85m...He's absolutely not worth 100m, I've no idea where people get that number from. He's had more poor seasons than good and if there are clubs out there watching, they'll know that too. I'm reading that Leao would be available for 100m Euros and he looks a player that creates as well scores. Rashford is a £60m player.
Leao is exactly the same type of player as Rashford. Same weaknesses, very similar playstyle too. He's also not scored in the league for 3 months. He's score 3 league goals all season. A classic case of the grass is greener.He's absolutely not worth 100m, I've no idea where people get that number from.

And who is competing with him for that spot if we Sell Rashford and don't buy another LW .Rashford wouldn't be our starting LW if we had a capable RW, Garnacho has proved that he'd start over Rashford already this season.
Grealish is a better player than Rashford. Felix was a few years ago and Am paid for the potential, that couldn't happen with Marcus. Coutinho was also many moons ago and he'd been killing it in 'the best league in the world' at the time. And do you really need me to explain why Antony cost that much?In this market he is. Lukaku was 100m, Grealish was 100m, Felix was 120m, Coutinho was 105m, Antony 85m...
He's not the player I would go for but he looks a better player on the eye test.Leao is exactly the same type of player as Rashford. Same weaknesses, very similar playstyle too.

We'd clearly spend that money on new players and you'd hope that the new team would have the sense to bring in the right players in the right positionsAnd who is competing with him for that spot if we Sell Rashford and don't buy another LW .
Doesn’t work that way. Those signings were made at the peak hype levels of those players. Rashford’s peak hype was last year and since then he’s been a bit of a joke so obviously he’s not worth 100m. It’s like asking for 70m right now for Antony becuase we once signed Bebe for 16m.In this market he is. Lukaku was 100m, Grealish was 100m, Felix was 120m, Coutinho was 105m, Antony 85m...
Totally agreeWould gladly sell him for 40 - 50 odd million. He’s a footballer with very very little football intelligence who is almost entirely reliant on his sole trick of cut inside and shoot. We won’t get anywhere with our supposed star men being of his standard.
200%I hope to God they take him off our hands.
How many games have you actually watched, though? This happens quite often, we tend to overlook an opposition team's players' weaknesses especially because we don't actually watch enough games to see them. It's like how lots of people think Kimmich is a great 6 but if you ask most Bayern fans they say he needs a 6 next to him. If you ask most other fans who our best player is they would say Rashford. Ask the average United fan nowadays, I reckon most would say Martinez or Bruno.He's not the player I would go for but he looks a better player on the eye test.
Agreed.A don't agree. We need a different profile of player. He's a pure counter player. We should be looking to move away from that if we're to become a top side.
