Would you sell Rashford in the summer?

Yes before he gets any older it’s hard to see him fitting in with his I can’t be arsed attitude, but as ever his wages will be the big problem.
 
Thats a horrible question, I love those players, especially Mainoo.

But in this system........

If we can't bring players of their quality through we may as well just give it up. That's what we are about.
 
I don't really like the way he is the scapegoat, 90% or more of the players have been poor.
He is not being made a scapegoat. We are judging a 27-year old academy graduate on £300k+/week on his own merit. We are all disappointed he has not turned out to be the player he could have been.

Saying that, I would sell any one of that squad apart from Amad if the offer was good enough.
Given up on Leny already? :p

I get what you mean though, apart from Amad, Yoro, Mainoo and Garnacho I wouldn’t be gutted to see any of the first teamers leave. I perhaps would put Maz and De Ligt in that category as well because I think they will both turn out to be fine signings.

I'm not saying it'd not warranted, just others don't get the same grief.

Maz has been our player of the season so far.

But I was discounting summer signings really.

He’s pushed himself to the top of the pay scale and just doesn’t do enough to justify it.

I’d sell pretty much any of the current squad but now just feels like the right time for Utd and Rashford to part ways.

Might do him some good as well
 
Occasionally he will score a brilliant goal but in between he would be crap. He also does not try hard enough for the team. when do you see Rashford, go regularly for a 50/50 ball. Never or extremely rarely.

I hope it isn’t the club briefing these journalists.

Forcing him out the door by destroying his reputation isn’t what the guy deserves.

I think it is time to part ways but he should not be made the scapegoat for the current situation.
 
I just struggle to see how he fits in, he’s at his best when he’s coming in from wide left but in this new system he has to operate slightly more central which is not his strength.

His lack of effort on the pitch in terms of closing people down has always been an issue but think he’s skirted by under previous managers. Doesn’t sound like Amorim will allow this.
 
The rule is simple for any of our players, if you do not give 100% on and off the pitch, the manager will find another player who will. Long may it continue.
 
I thought this was always going to happen from the day he told Maguire to eff off and Maguire nor the club did anything about it.

You wonder if he’s got something already lined up.
 
Be a shame to see one of the clubs academy graduates leave.

In danger of losing our identity. McT and Rashford going. Is McT any worse than Mount?

Whose replacing Rashford.
 
Feels like it’s the right time to say goodbye though.

There’s a real talented crop who could break through in the next 6-18 months to keep the legacy going. There’s still Mainoo and Garnacho keeping the academy represented.

I hope he goes abroad out of Manchester and a fresh start.

He leaves with so many good memories for fans to remember the good times rather than the bad time.
 
He's not good enough, won't track back and his salary is a huge burden. Getting rid is the logical choice. Easier said than done though. He can do a Bale if he wants.
 
The interview does suggest he doesn't want to do that but no doubt Utd will be giving him a pay off if he has to accept a lower salary at another club.

My gut feeling is he's going to be out on loan with an option to buy to someone in January. PSG could be an option as they're in big trouble in Europe and they've maybe lost a bit of that star attraction but they've got a talented young player in Barcola in his spot that they'd probably look to back.

The only big european club I can't 100% rule out in my head is Bayern I think they're a bit short in wide areas and maybe they'd take the gamble.

In terms of the prem sides Arsenal probably are in the most need of reinforcement but Rashford isn't an Arteta player.

If I was Amorim I would be proper pissed at him to be honest, a couple of days after he was dropped he comes out with this interview. It screams a little bit of throwing toys out of the pram.

Now one of the biggest headlines around now isn’t what we are doing on the pitch but for what one of our players has said. It was an ill judged interview for me - well some of the contents anyway.

Agree what Rashford should do if he really wants to stay is keep his mouth shut get his head down and work hard but it’s hard to tell what he wants these days.
 
I think the interview was fine to be honest.

The news will only last a day or two and Amorim has said he wants to work with him and get the best from him so he's left the door open if Rashford changes his mind which is smart.

The rumour mill was already starting to leak stuff about him so it was probably time for him to talk and to be fair Henry Winter didn't stitch him up. It's probably best that it's clear what his position is which is he feels it's time for a new challenge.
 
If it's his attitude fine , but why? I personally would call his bluff and see who actually comes in for him. Come the end of January and no takers what will happen then?

He thinks thinks he`s much better than he actually is these days, deluded.
Saudi might suit him lots of money with nothing to play for.
 
He's too good for Saudi, I don't see him choosing there.

I hope he turns it around. I like him.
 
He's said he wants to get back in the England squad and go to the world cup in 2026 he knows the move to Saudi would be the end of that goal.

I don't see that appealing to him.
 
I said it tongue in cheek of course he won’t go to Saudi I just wish he would be honest and admit his form has been poor for ages, only he can change that by working hard at what he gets an enormous amount of money for.
 
I think the major thing that holds him back is he just doesn't have the desire to do the defensive work.

He never has and he never will and when I mean desire it isn't just about running back and being in a position it's a desire to actually get the ball back and focus on that job as soon as the ball is lost. I think he often tries to do it but it's not a natural trait he has so he never really gets much reward from doing it.

I don't see any top side taking him because he will never do the job on both sides of the ball and he isn't good enough with the ball to justify leaving your side a bit short defensively. The way the game is now you really can't carry people who aren't buying into the defensive side of it.

City have Haaland and Liverpool have Salah but those guys guarantee you 30 goals a season and Rashford doesn't.

You rarely see Salah or Haaland pull out of a tackle or a header. Rashford rarely goes in for a header. Plus he is more selfish than the two of them. I would have sold him last summer.
