This thread has been going in circles for many months now with more or less the same arguments but I'll go once again.
Well, we (the public) don't know for sure what is the crime , and neither do we know whether he has acknowledged it privately, unless you think he owes us a public acknowledgement before you offer him the chance to redeem himself.
Also, once you accept the notion of redemption, you don't get to put a line on how much is okay and how much is too much.
This is pure conjecture though, it's like saying signing four or five new players from different countries around the world in the summer would cause some level of disruption to the squad.
For the record, I don't want Rashford binned, in one thread I actually nominated him as one of two players for whom we should reject offers >100M. (In my defence, that was after the 22/23 season )
We, the public, only have the well documented evidence on social media. If (a big if) there's other evidence out there, then we haven't seen it. People can examine that and believe that whilst yes: he deserves to live a life now, that doesn't have to be at Old Trafford. They are naturally concerned that he will be representating them as United fans.
Also, worth pointing out that despite this other supposed evidence, the club still took several months to reach any conclusion. There was something that stopped the club saying, when the charges were dropped, that he was back in the squad. Clearly they had reservations (whether this was based mainly on bad PR is another question).
A point I made ages ago, probably on this thread, was that the club had been concerned about his behaviour and attitude long before this all came out. In fact, many of the posters on here were talking about worrying signs with him.
Re: disruption. That's not conjecture though. It's pretty much fact now. It would distract everyone with the club when we need to look towards the future. Bringing in almost any other player wouldn't cause this level of debate. Whether people like it or now now, it's a massive distraction.
Re: Rashford comparison. Fair enough but many on here seemingly want Rashford sold and Greenwood brought back.
