Marcus Rashford - Barcelona “we don’t want him” | High salt content warning

Has something happened? Why are their socials just randomly spamming Rashford content? Regardless of what happens with the transfer Barca had a good time marketing him just a shame they can't/won't find the funds for him.

Yep, any money spent on him is unlikely to be recouped. That’s a big factor for any team looking at buying him (or any player) as Barca have shown.

I'd imagine it's his big fat juicy wages and lack of pressing that is the bigger concern
 
Bayern would be a great move, he should lower his salary demands.

His agent did him no favor when negotiating that bumper contract at United. It seems to have completely derailed his carreer for him.

I bet it’s hard to let go those sums of money when they are ticking into your account, but I’m guessing that when Rashford at some point looks back at what was supposed to be the best years of his carreer, he’ll maybe regret he didn’t spend them a bit differently.

It's the salary of an elite talent, which Rashford is not and never has been. United were very daft at the time to agree to it, however maybe there was a feeling he'd kick on from that 30 odd goal season in all competitions.
 
If Bayerns interest is serious, I suspect he would indeed lower his wages…

Barca and Bayern is dreamland in his situation.
 
It's funny because he'll refuse to lower his wages, Barca won't pay up and then he'll end up at somewhere like Middleborough in a year or so when he finally gives in. Should take the pay cut and join Bayern.
 
Why in the world would Bayern pay us £34.5m? That sounds like complete nonsense. We can’t possibly be holding out for that much money for a player who we don’t seem to have any intention of playing.

This mindset is why we’re so far behind.

Chelsea and city sell randoms no one has heard of for 30 million. They’d sell rashford for more comfortably.

Because he’s easily worth that.

I am always dubious about tweets like these. The person they are tagging at the end is on Twitter. If this is what he is saying, why are they not sharing the article or a link or even just retweeting what he said?

It is the same as basically every single tweet from that account ‘UtdReport’ or whatever it is who never actually linked to any stories but just add on [@MailSport] onto the end of the tweet despite the fact no one can see anything regarding that story online at all.

I’m not saying I do not believe the story, but given how easy it is to link directly to what reporters actually say and actually write I do find it strange that 99% seems to go through aggregator accounts that can’t provide any link or authorisation rather than simply tagging in the supposed source. It is always two side-by-side images and source in square brackets with it apparently always being somehow impossible to link to the actual story.

I remember I used to spend ages trying to find these transfer stories that were being reported by these aggregator accounts on the websites that they cite sources and finding out that they never actually exist existed.

Pesky agent getting him so much money.

I think you may have become numbed to just how much money £325,000 a week is. It’s more than anyone at Arsenal or Chelsea earn. In fact, the only player who earned that much at those teams (Raheem Sterling) has just been paid to leave the club.

£34.5m for a 28 year old with a questionable work ethic who is demanding that salary makes very little financial sense.

Barca had the option for a lower fee because they also took his wages off our hands for a year. He’s had a good season there so there is no reason that outside of THAT deal we should not be asking a reasonable £35-40m. He’s absolutely worth that.

I'd imagine there's a conversation that can happen here if Bayern are truly interested. £34.5m is more than I'd thought United would get, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them knock off £10m to help Bayern meet his wage demands.
 
United would bite Bayern's hand off even if offer is 20 m as long as they don't have to pay off Rashford , but I don't think this offer actually exists but rest assured we would continue to get these great offers but always with Caveats .

That's just the way these X accounts farm engagement. If you add a clickable link to said article you're making it easier for the user to leave your stuff. I'm surprised half of them even leave their source and don't try and claim credit for it.

The worse thing they do nowadays is after a game they'll quote a big player for example, Pirlo says ..... about Mainoo and then you'll repeat it to someone and it's just complete waffle, so annoying.

Because they want to milk as much social media attention they can get as possible and baiting United fans is easy.

I don't see him having the self awareness to lower his wages. He's likely going to be an albatross around our necks before leaving on a free 2 years later.

If he sits around for 2 years waiting for a free his career is basically done, and he won’t be playing of England, which he seems to want to do.
 
cheeky by his agent to put that out the willingness of munich to pay the 34m to see if Barca will step in

I am pretty sure Utd will loan him out at the end of the transfer window if they can't find a buyer. It makes no sense to pay him sitting on the bench. That's not how business works.

You think that’s where this is coming from? Wouldn’t surprise me. We heard nothing about Bayern or anyone else until 5 seconds ago.
 
He'd be an idiot to lose out on the chance to play for Bayern, I don't see any other elite side coming for him. It's likely his last chance to leave to somewhere he'd feel he deserves to go.

Isn’t his agent his brother?

I imagine they're basically letting him know they'll take him if he lowers his wages

Yeah he's had such a bad career, becoming one of the top goalscorers for United, continuing playing for his country, winning the league with Barca....he's been ruined.

Yep. Barcelona dream is dead once Gordon was signed. Bayern is a very good option. Most players would kill to have a career that read Man Utd - Barcelona - Bayern
