Ridiculous that all the reports about RM and Barco trying to buy Rash for £100m. I'm not sure if Rash is really keen but if he is not he should come out to say.
I think the Spanish clubs are very afraid of us turning the 1 goal deficit into a win just like we did PSG. Using mind games to play with our players. Similar to trying to disrupt Pogba. This is the time to see what our players are made of.
I feel for Ole having to grapple with these but I would think that EW should come out to officially support the manager. It would help the players if EW do speak to the players and help in some of these motivational issues. Everything can't be solved with money although sadly money plays a part in the contract negotiations.
I hope we really show up and beat Barcelona and it would be a great achievement for the players and the club. Hope I have the energy to stay up to watch the game. GGMU.

Story came from the english press so i don't see how it is the spanish media/ clubs trying to disrupt us.

Sure noted DSG. I’m sure some over that side trying to since RM ZZ came out on his admiration about Pogba as well. So there seems to be all sorts of interest in our players. I am very happy for the players tbh since big clubs are interested. However what I have a problem is the very appropriate time these came out 🤔.
It’s good that clubs are keen on our players which means we have good and potential players. Just the timing I have issue with. We’ve been through this given CR7 before. Anyway that’s just my view.

It is very different to the CR7 issue. Pogba is an excellent player, but he is easily replaceable. Any half competent club should be able to replace him.

cR7 was one of the two best players of his generation, he was never going to be replaced and should probably never have been sold.

But the point is any competent club can replace players like de gea and pogba and even rashford if they were to leave. The fact that we have been so incompetent in recruiting players is why the likes of de gea and rashford have us over a barrel when it comes to contract negotiations.

Also due to the fact we decided to make a past it has been chilean our highest paid player for no apparent reason.

Any of our players can be easily replaced. What a joke of a comment. Building a culture and a squad you need players who will run through walls for you. Not hired guns.

Rashford is worth 10 of a Sanchez type hired gun. He is not agitating for a move, he just wants a senior pro contract - look at his game time and influence. He deserves it! Who would we bring in to replace him?

{Ed007's Note - Danny Welbeck?}

He already has a senior pro contract, he wants more money which is understandable, he deserves it. But if he were to want to leave a competent club should be able to replace him.

How do you think clubs like dortmund work? Obviously they would want all their players to be like marco reus and stay for a long time but the reality is most are like ousmane dembele or pulisic who see the club as a vehicle to get moves to other clubs.

There is no reason why people wouldn't use united in the same way to get moves to other clubs.

Problem with that is United are considered as one of the biggest clubs in football. The only move upwards would be Madrid, Barca, Bayern, maybe Juventus. Or if their going to PSG or China they're just chasing money. Dortmund aren't considered as a great club. Their a selling club. Even when they've had success such as in 1997 or ten years ago those sides have quickly broken up as they sell their best players because a lot of clubs are seen as a step up from Dortmund.

All said and done that the media are trying to turn the players' minds, but are they serious. i mean 100m for Rashford. what's next then? 75m for Young or 50m for Valencia. 😋😋😋🤣🤣🤣.

It's a serious concern that the club have allowed his contract to run down so far. He is far from the finished article, but he has the potential to be a superstar. He's the only player we have that gets the crowd up off their seat when he gets the ball. He's arguably the biggest talent our academy has produced since the class of 92, we should be looking to build our future team around him and encourage him to spend the best years of his career with us. For that reason I would class him as irreplaceable.

{Ed002's Note - This whole concept of "building a team around" a player is a little naive, it does not work like that, and certainly not with forwards. The club have not let his contract run down (and they can take up an option he has already agreed to) but rather have not reached an agreement with him just yet. There is no doubt that there is interest from Barcelona but you need to remember he is English, and typically English players are far from portable to other countries, and he is far from being the sharpest piece of mango in the fridge.}

Haha I'm happy if that means he's likely to stay. I meant build around in a broader context but I get your point. Thanks for the response.

Ed002 i'm not sure how you dice your mangos but the edges should never be sharp😂
I have no doubt that rashford will sign a new contract.
He has a lot of improvement to come but he has it in him and for today's standards he keeps a very low profile off the pitch and appears to have a very good attitude.
He will get better and once he has more creativity around him he will do better.

Lol Spanish club afraid of Manchester United 😂😂😂. You have a very good chance of finishing outside top 4 and the kid might want to move just like most of the others!
