No concrete links yet to any notable LWs and we sure as hell need one this summer. Apparently Carrick wants Rashford back if he gets the job, won't happen though. Rashford was basically pushed out of the club and the fanbase in general was extremely harsh with him. Actually had a banner put up against him at Old Trafford and was personally bood a few times. He won't want to come back and it's better that way.

- Thread starter Wumminator
- Start date
Hope that story is bs - would be a dumb move considering wage structure and player power. And we have enough options at LW with dorgu, Cunha, mbeumo or Mount.
Sack Carrick sell Rashford
Casemiro
We shall see my friend.
I remember Crespo returned to Chelsea and played regularly, but cant recall if he was good. He did leave again.
I used to keep a list of all the things people mentioned here that Rashford needed to play well. I'll add this to the list;
To perform Rashford just needs;
- to play LW
- to play up front
- Shaw behind him
- a good right winger to compliment him
- a girlfriend
- a steady manager
- a strong leader to help him on the pitch
- to be loved
- to have an arm around his shoulder
Don't see any benefit of him returning unless he learns how track back and run is socks off each and every game.
plus Mount, and even Bruno
No. thanks.
Rather bring back Sancho, Pogba, Lingard

If only Rashford was all of these plus better at football.
Then we'd have a slightly better player on our hands!
Actually, it's surprisingly rare. Courtois is an example, but otherwise it's mostly been players who were sold to different club, De Bruyne and Morata for example.
We're not gonna have concrete links for any position until we know what's happening with the manager though are we?
Would also want him to take a pay cut for it to even be considered. He can’t be the main man, and can’t be earning like one either.
Please god, no
Wish the lad well but please let it be at another club.

Pretty sure the technical team will tell Carrick no.
I just think we're not gonna be able to sell him. If that's the case, might as well get someone who works with him. He did have arguably his best period under the Carrick/Ole regime last time. I think he personally became a bit dissillusioned by the club with how it went down during Ole's last term I remember how giddy he was when Ole was first announced.
I think he’s played his last game for us. We’re looking to untangle all these huge contracts the Glazer regime have tied us up in, and his contract is one of the big ones.
It would be delusional for the club to think ‘I can change him’ at this point.

You think we should pick our next manager based off whether or not he can work with Rashford?
He doesn’t even do that…. We’re in desperate realms of G/A heavy lifting to prove that a player whose been the primary goal threat/No9 for most of his career is suddenly excelling on loan with 3 league goals this season…
I don’t even think he wants to come back here, I don’t know why people are worried. If Barca don’t cough up the money, someone else will because he’s been good there. Barca fans want him, other big clubs will take the chance.
Falcao had three great years at Monaco after using us and Chelsea to rehab for two years
Something’s got to give, because while he is doing good, he is not justifying his wage neither from United’s nor Barcelona’s perspective.
My phrasing wasn't great but usually we'd have a vague idea of whoever we're interested in. There are usually rumors or a random article or two. I don't think that has changed because Utd are rarely able to keep transfer business quiet and the complete silence on the very evident need for a LW is strange. Not even a bullshit article or two linking us to a LW we'd never sign anyway.
Because he served this team through some of our worst time in 20 years and currently has a large amount of goals/assists. Agree with you best is to move him on but if he comes back thinking he can’t play there doesn’t make sense. Mount is best as a ten and Amad on the right hand side. Dorgu on the right as well. I’m not saying we should bring him back, simply if we do he can play there . I’ve heard people saying Mbuemo can play LW, so they want him to play RW, Striker and LW at the same time?
He’s a more natural sub for Cunha and i do think he would be good competition for him.
He seems to be more intelligent with the pass after his time at Villa and Barcelona.
That being said i just think it’s a master stroke of genius carrick is saying this. Putting some pressure on Barcelona. The 30-35 million fee is so darn low unfortunately but with his wages I wonder where it evens out if the signed him for 50 or 60, depends all on his wages with them
5 goals 3 assist in the CL. How is it meaningless compared to Vinicius? He’s in the same league
Never ever. He can stay wherever but no way he is allowed back in. Barca just trying to get him cheaper but for sure we can find another club paying 30m
No thanks. Carrick is the interim for now, someone should remind him of this. He should focus on the next games, not squad planning for next season.
Don't think I could stomach again having to watch Rashford stroll around the pitch sulking, with a face like a smacked arse, not bothering to press or track back, and trying to dribble the ball past 3 defenders and losing possession every time.
Perhaps the one good thing Amorim did was getting the toxic players out of the club (if only on loan for some of them), it would be a retrograde step to bring them back and I'm disappointed if Carrick is of that mind.

I'm sure there would be a lot of clubs willing to pay 30m for Marcus, the problem is Marcus doesn't want to join them.
not starting again tonight , being on bench for last 5/6 games . think he is coming back unfortunatly.
I CAN FIX HIM, YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!
Well again though, I think it's on purpose at the minute because we've no idea what we're doing in summer. Any transfer business is gonna be secondary to the manager and even the rumour mills have no idea who to link us with.
I’ve only watched Barca a handful of times this season, and Rashford still seems to be lazy off the ball. That’s not what we want to reintroduce.
He’s doing well in Spain because it’s an easier league. It’s as simple as that. And don’t use the champions league as an example either, where we’re seeing Spurs beating top European teams, Newcastle competing with the champions and Benfica spanking Real

feck no. The whole point is to remove lazy players from the squad. We had this culture reset for a reason, Carrick is simply an interim.
We should at least get a semi decent fee for him given he's having a relatively decent loan.

Carrick needs to be careful we don't need Rashford back we have enough players in his position right now.
Oh fecking hell, seriously?
Things were just starting to look ever so slightly positive

Surely he's saying this to try to tell Barcelona not to low ball us?
Lads, the journalist credited with that literally published this today:
Falcao. Shite on loan after his serious injuries then had few good season with Monaco.
Perisic. Inter to Bayern then back at Inter.
