It won’t when every left sided attacker we go for will be quoted at 100 million and we’ll be desperate for quality.Selling him and Greenwood could fund our whole summer.
I agree this might be a sad reality, but I still don’t think it happens this summer.I think it might be best for both parties if he has a fresh start somewhere else.
I wouldn’t go that far. Rashford is probably the current player INEOS really want to try and improve but of course they will know of his issues and he will have his price if he says he wants to leave. If he wants to stay then I don’t see us pushing him out, not this summer anyway. I would sell him, I’m not sure the new hierarchy will see it the same way. It’s an easy mistake to make.I will drive him to Paris.
If this story is true, the way INEOS handles this will determine if this is a real or false dawn
Pellistri and Greenwood are not in the club. Martial is not even used. Antony is now a bench player. Essentially, we can replace Rashford and all the rest with 2 players.Not sure.
We'll want to get rid of Antony, Greenwood, Pellistri, Martial and maybe Rashford.
Who's coming in to replace them?
Do you have 2 in mind?Pellistri and Greenwood are not in the club. Martial is not even used. Antony is now a bench player. Essentially, we can replace Rashford and all the rest with 2 players.
Yes, the eager delight is a little bit much for me, but he’s just had so many dark periods where he’s ineffective and disinterested.feck me the thread is pretty much unanimous..... While I don't actually want him sold he probably should go.
Zirkzee and Nico Williams plus if we can sell or loan Antony, Roony Bardghji would be a cheap option with very high potential too.Do you have 2 in mind?
Oliseh can be one of the options. Kvara too, but maybe he is too expensive. Thinking that we also have Diallo and Forson, I would go for a more experienced forward. Unfortunately, I don't keep up with the rest of the leagues, but certainly there is someone with this profile in Spain, France, Germany, Portugal, Netherlands or Italy that can cost up to 40 millions.Do you have 2 in mind?
I’d bite their hand off for 75m, I felt he was worth not more than 50. If it happens, I hope we don’t replace one overpaid player with another - and I hope we spend wisely.With his wages and current form are people seriously suggesting he is worth more than £75m?
Now I don't see this happening, always makes me laugh when folk say "sell him to PSG". They are not Saudi or China trying to boost a new league.
If there is any truth in this we would be mad to say no and PSG have learnt nothing wanting to spend more than £35/40 mill for current Rashford
True, but there's the likes of Williams and such who have clauses. I'm excited to see some of the targets from south America we look at this summer - we seemed to overlook loads in the last few years.It won’t when every left sided attacker we go for will be quoted at 100 million and we’ll be desperate for quality.
Can see it being Leao over Rashford.If Mbappe is actually leaving this summer then Rashford or Milan's Leao would be the obvious two replacements.
Yeah, I don’t think Milan have the financial firepower to fight off PSG if they come calling. I’d hope we still do. It’s going to be a bad look if, after not even being in the running for Kane and Bellingham last summer, we can’t even hold on to Rashford when one of the big clubs comes calling. Still, if we are forced to sell, I’d expect it to be upwards of £100m. £75m is laughable.Can see it being Leao over Rashford.
Although if Rashford does leave to PSG, I'd be taking a look at Leao if I were Utd.
Nobody is stupid enough to pay 100m for Rashford. 75m is probably way too much as well. I hope we don’t have it in us “fight off” PSG for Rashford given his general play is absolutely woeful.Yeah, I don’t think Milan have the financial firepower to fight off PSG if they come calling.

No one sits deep against us this season. We have been dominated in field tilt. If we get a new coach then hopefully we will play like the above.Fecking yes to £75m.
Unless we’re playing teams who flood everyone forward and leave lots of space open to counterattack, he’s become really ineffective. Low blocks and teams sitting deep is something he‘s never got used too and a lot of our games will be like those types of games.
Agreed, except:Said it before but I doubt he's going anywhere: local lad, star player, excellent on his day and when on form.
Will he though? Rashford is inconsistent and high maintenance. A new manager who’s coming in with his eyes open might wonder whether he’s worth the effort. A DoF might well think the same, given the number of other things that need fixing.The next manager will want to work with him,
Possibly. I’m not convinced Rashford is capable of any more great seasons; he just doesn’t seem capable of the required physical intensity.he'll probably have a great season and then it will all crash again the season after that.
Nico Williams has less than half the amount of league goals as Rashford this season. Imagine we sign him for whatever that clause is and he scores 3 league goals. He’ll get eaten up.True, but there's the likes of Williams and such who have clauses. I'm excited to see some of the targets from south America we look at this summer - we seemed to overlook loads in the last few years.
I think there will be some people in charge who will push for his sale because it would ease finances significantly - any fee would be pure profit and the sale would also shift one of our majorly under-performing high earners. (A similar situation to Chelsea when they sold Mount)Marcus shouldn’t be sold, and I believe he won’t be sold. We have bigger priorities.
I also think it’s fair to value him higher than Jarrad Branthwaite for example.
Honestly, if anyone offers 100m for Rashford, we should take it and run. Given that Mbappe is going to Madrid, and they also have Endrick coming in the summer, who Ancelotti has said is going to go straight into the first team squad, and there's absolutely no chance they let Vinicius go, so we might have a chance to get Rodrygo at a good price. Selling Rashford for ~75m and getting Rodrygo for a reasonable price would honestly be a great deal for us. He has great close control and his pace/acceleration are absolutely insane. Plus, he can play on both the left and right so him and Garnacho (who looks a much better player on the right IMO) could interchange positions during the game - and both are fairly creative players (Garnacho is on the right at least, on the left he comes in and tries to shoot too often, I think). If we have surplus left from the Rashford sale/Rodrygo purchase, we can put that money into a new left back and completely rejuvenate the left side.Nobody is stupid enough to pay 100m for Rashford. 75m is probably way too much as well. I hope we don’t have it in us “fight off” PSG for Rashford given his general play is absolutely woeful.
Just curious but can you name a period when the team has played consistently well and Rashford hasn’t?Such a frustrating player. When on form he’s world class but his low periods means we can’t rely on him. I’d jump at an offer of 80m
There’s nothing I disagree with here, I just feel with the club ‘losing’ Martial, moving out Sancho and Greenwood, and open to offers for Antony I think Rashford on top would leave us too light in attack and with too much to do in the market, and to integrate on the pitch. He can wait until next summer,I think there will be some people in charge who will push for his sale because it would ease finances significantly - any fee would be pure profit and the sale would also shift one of our majorly under-performing high earners. (A similar situation to Chelsea when they sold Mount)
But that's obviously looking at it from a cold, statistical, financial perspective.
From a marketing point of view, and from a romantic one... Rashford is a valuable asset to the club because he's a local lad and academy success story.
Hard to disagree with this, but there is definitely also a risk of Rashford losing market value if he has another season like this one. There is potentially an opportunity now to capitalize on his perceived value and getting something more than what he is worth to us. But finding quality forwards is also not easy.There’s nothing I disagree with here, I just feel with the club ‘losing’ Martial, moving out Sancho and Greenwood, and open to offers for Antony I think Rashford on top would leave us too light in attack and with too much to do in the market, and to integrate on the pitch.

He is United's poster boy because United made him so and somebody else would easily take his place without United skipping a beat if we do decide to sell him .There’s nothing I disagree with here, I just feel with the club ‘losing’ Martial, moving out Sancho and Greenwood, and open to offers for Antony I think Rashford on top would leave us too light in attack and with too much to do in the market, and to integrate on the pitch.

I also think he is our poster boy and his commercial value in this sense outweighs any perceived benefit of selling him.

I'd much rather Rashford turned around his form, and turned into a consistent player. It's not that he has to score 30 goals a season, but just putting in the effort and making better decisions in the final third would go a long way. But if we get an offer we have to weigh all the pros and cons of selling. Definitely not an easy choice.
