Absolutely!
Hanging on to underperforming players out of sentiment and misguided hope is a classic telltale sign of poor management. SAF was the absolute master of knowing when a player’s time at the club had run its course.

He'll stay and half-arse the season and leave on a free. The United way.
Rashford hasnt performed for several seasons now. Thinking its sensible to let him go to PSG is not toxic.
McTominay gets (rightfully) criticized as well, and from what I remember you have been one of them asking for an upgrade. Nothing toxic about it. If they arent good enough they arent good enough.
£60m is an extremely fair first bid for someone like Rashford. £75M would be probably the best we could get for him, £120m is a Woodward/Judge type valuation.
If they offer £75m, get the deal done.
We never learn. That's the same bullshit we did with Pogba and it ended up with leaving on free. We could have cashed on him ages ago but no, we kept on asking for ridiculous prices and he kept underperforming on the pitch and at the end we got feck all from him.
This will end with Rashford getting a new deal in 1 week
This guy gets it.
Anything over £60m we should be taking and running. Realistically we can probably hold out for £80m. But just take it and get Antony or Gakpo.
This.
Everyone and their dog know this club is full of idiots who'll jump at the occasion and get him a new bumper contract.
Why in the feck would PSG need Marcus fecking Rashford of all sorts? The PR machine is in full force.
I don't believe one second that PSG will pay even £60m for Rashford. At least I hope they won't
PSG is supposed to have 80m€ left. Maybe a little more if they sell Paredes and Kehrer
And they still want 3 more players with the priority being clearly a CB. We can't expect Ramos to play 40+ games thie year
If they find this kind of money, it will be for skriniar

Anything over 30 and we should take and run.
If they watched how he played in the past 2 years, they’ll be wanting money to take him off our books.
A club that can afford any player in the world and they want Rashford? 
We’ve a higher chance of winning the league this year than this transfer taking place.

There is zero chance that this is true, it is obviously a contract ploy. All these reports mentioning PSG being willing to offer a big contract is clearly so that he can point to it and say - look what I can get on the market.
Rashford is a problem player - not so much because of his poor form, which I believe he can get through, but his poor attitude when things aren't going well is an issue. In fact, I can't think of an academy graduate that became a first team regular for us in the last 10 years that didn't have a bad attitude. The culture of the club is shocking.

Make them pay Anthony for us. But we all know this is bait for a new contract. Never going to happen.
Setting a bad example for the kids. Shame on you Rashy.

If that is true then the goal is to push for £10-15m more, but make sure the deal gets done even at £60m. That's the best deal we have been presented with in a long time, in or out.
If they fecked it up asking for £120m then that would be the biggest transfer disaster by far, and that's saying something. He'll be worth a fraction in 1-2 years.

That's my take too
I'm sorry but why on earth would they pay 60 million for someone who has been playing as badly as Rashford?
This story has been generated 90% from Rashford’s team.
That’s why we should get rid any which way we can. Can’t have these half hearted performances AND angling for greener pastures.
In no way does he deserve a new contract. Time to cut off the waste of wage bills.

United offering a new multi year deal would be a disasterous move on our part. That would genuinely look like we’re in clown world.
A fairly experienced 24 year old forward that has no goals from a start in 15 months is a considerable fecking red flag.

I don't really get this sentiment. Yes he comes through our ranks and done exceptionally well. And let's not forget he's being compensate well too and dare I say more than his colleagues in this same industry who has achieve far more than him. His job is to play football and its expected of him to perform well in that. But unfortunately his performance these last few years has been sub par. Just because he is one of our own, he supposedly got more leeway? I would argue because he's one of our own he should know better that if you're not performing on the pitch, then it's time for club to move on.
But then again probably some would love to see that because Rashford is local lad, he should be given new contract 400k per week or something because he deserved it.
God forbid he scores a goal or actually plays decent in upcoming games, then we offer him a new improved contract. That's normally how it works, isn't it.
Why would we value him at £120 when he struggles to make our first 11 when everyone is fit.
There is no doubt he has talent and on his day he is unplayable and they would believe they can get the best out of him.
The more poignant question
Because he's young, he's talented, he's got a lot of name value, and he has shown he can score goals at a high level.
Two years ago how much would you have expected Rashford to be worth? Would be near £100m I imagine... obviously the last 18 months lower that valuation significantly, but it doesn't suddenly mean he's a £20/£30m pound player as some here are claiming - We sold Dan James for £25m, and Rashford is worth significantly more then that.
Unplayable wouldn't be the term I'd use but there's some talent still there.
I did mean it as a positiveI like him but he has been awful for ages, and sometimes I look at him and think for all parties it might be best to move on. As I said, anything north of £60m should absolutely be, at the very least, considered.
On the flip side though would anyone be happy for United to spend 60 million on a player like him if the tables were turned?
There's plenty of examples of players that just disappear so prior form isn't a guarantee of anything.
He's got injury problems and he's a bit one dimensional already so it's a huge gamble for any club to bring him onboard. I think it's likely we'll phase him out and he'll leave on the cheap next year.
If a club is all about just results then there is no soul history or depth. It's a plastic club then.
That's what's supposedly sets us and Liverpool apart.
Wonder how many on here would keep him vs. Selling and reinvesting
If say, Bukayo Saka, or Phil Foden had an absolutely terrible 18 months - I'd still be prepared to spend around £60m on them. Though probably not more then that to be fair.... Point is £50m-£60m isn't a crazy amount for Rashford when you consider how much players are going for these days.
What a warped mindset, if you think it’s the players who deserve loyalty from the fans while doing nothing to earn it.
It depends what you get for him and what you can do with it. On the one hand it's a little bit sad to lose a player we've brought through, but if we lose him and can pay for the managers prime choice in Antony, it probably improves us.
But I don't get just selling him because people are annoyed at his form for whatever fee lands on Murtough's desk. That's stupid. At the moment he's one of our senior forwards with some chance he can improve his form. We don't have enough quality or depth to chuck him out the door without substantial funds coming our way or a plan. It would have to be a good fee.

How many clubs out there can spend this kind of money? How many of them are interested in him? Is he gonna be interested in a move to bottom-half clubs?
What poor attitude is this? Is there any evidence of this poor attitude with Rashford other than rumours and press conjecture?
Interested to know.
So you would rather keep supporting the players who have been trash for long and keep earning mega bucks? Rashford who is supposed to be this homegrown lad who gets what playing for United should be just strolls on the pitch putting in zero effort and you expect people to keep supporting him? Ok.
You do you, but I expect our players to honor the badge that they are wearing and atleast put in some fecking effort. That doesn't make anyone glory hunters. He was diabolical last season and people are rightly frustrated with him. Nothing wrong with that.
