NUFC Transfer Rumours

[Kimbo]

You’ll never see a worse player off the ball than Rashford, if he loses it he just casually jogs around. The complete opposite of someone like Gordon.

[Theregulars]

Yup, reeks of PSG or Galatasaray / Fenerbache. 
 

Maybe Chelsea.

He is the furthest thing from a system friendly player, I don’t see any serious side wanting him. Like others have said, PSG seems to be the move. They can carry him in that league. 
 

One of the sole reasons Man United signed Weghorst when they did was to cover for Rashford off the ball imo, says enough really.

Nah Chelsea pay low wages just long contract makes up for it these days. 

 

I agree his ego wont allow him to take the paycut, and agree he's a limited player, but say if he went to Fulham reckon he'd score plenty. But he won't.

[Nucasol]

Froggy isn’t enamoured by him. Given he sticks up for pretty much Man Utd player that says a lot about how he’s dropped off a cliff. It would be the ultimate Freddie Shepherd signing for us. Akin to Owen, Butt or Smith.

[rebelrouser]

Contract runs until 2028, and I hope he runs it down.

Rashford anyone ?

No thanks (not that we could afford him) such an over hyped player - criminal the wages he is on.  

[Teslact]

I don't think even today's West Ham would do something stupid like part-ex for Kudus. 

[Matt1892]

Walker-Peters is out of contract in the summer.

 

Would be an obvious replacement for Trippier.

[TBG]

Sell Barnes. Bring in Rashford. Complain we sold Barnes and brought in Rashford.

[gjohnson]

I smell Everton...

[Ben]

Rashford must have something lined up with comments like that 

[The Butcher]

Reckon USA for Rashford. Probably leaving for next to nowt.

[WilliamPS]

With Rashford he’s going to have to get used to a massive salary cut and not being the club man. Both of those have held him back as a footballer but it wouldn’t be a shock if his first move was a disaster, then after an expectations reset he does well somewhere else

Can they afford insane pay rates over there?

Or he can sit tight, run down his contract and go to Saudi and get mega money. He's good either way.

You’re probably right, but I was hoping he was thinking I’m going backwards as a player, how do I sort that out and get playing vs how do I get even more money when my insane Man Utd deal doesn’t get renewed at the same level

Yeah I hear you, I think things have fundamentally shifted for players 20_30 years ago you needed to be successful as a player to aquire wealth. Now you don't and you can make more money playing now than you can post career

Sitting tight for another three and half years seems a bit extreme mind.

not when you get paid close to £70m for doing it!  I'm not sure I'd be rushing to take a massive pay cut if i was him

Yes, but even if it currently looks like he’s not really arsed about playing football, I’m sure he probably is. 
 

He’d basically be ending his career if he decided to just sit tight and he won’t want that.

He wouldn't be the first and won't be the last. Realisticly what is he going to achieve in his career on a sporting level? Might as well make enough for many generations of Rashfords.

[toon25]

Possible Neymar replacement in Saudi? (Talk of Neymar going back to Brazil)

[Sibierski]

People go way overboard on the Rashford bashing. Top player, and would have him here if his wages was 50% less.

Win some trophies? Play for England again? Go to another World Cup?

 

There’s loads really. People are talking like he’s some pub player now. He’d be mental to jack it in.

 

Obviously we don’t know the state of his finances away from football, but unless he’s been particularly reckless, he’ll already have secured the futures of the next couple of generations at the very least.
