NUFC Transfer Rumours

[gjohnson]

I smell Everton...

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.

50%? That woul make him our top earner instantly. Absolutely no way even at that for what he offers.

Rashford is finished at the top level. He's lost his pace alongside his drive.

[WilliamPS]

Rashfords other option is a Sancho or Lukaku style loan deal, where he gets the money and a second chance on the pitch. Would mean Germany, Spain or Italy, doubt they’d do it for a PL club

 

Id support that as Man Utd would still get rinsed for at least 200k pw. 

[Paully]

What on earth are Man Utd doing paying him the rumoured 300K a week wages?!

He wouldn't be jacking football in he'd be coasting. He's been an elite athletic for a long time it must be incredibly draining and I'm surprised more instances of burnout don't occur. 

 

He's not winning the Premier league or the champions league and he isn't winning anything internationally. I think for a lot of players football is just a job tbh. 

 

Oh and he's a massive spender

Totally agree.
