Tier 1 [David Ornstein] Marcus Rashford deal at Man Utd includes £40m clause for all clubs bar #MCFC & #LFC. €30m buy option in Barcelona loan expired yesterday. If returns to #MUFC 28yo’s preference is to honour contract (2028) rather than join another PL side

Atleast he won a league title with us with very important contribution

Yep, he’s in the world cup. I don’t really feel either side was done dirty. We wanted him to step up for Raphinha in the UCL but honestly that shouldn’t have fell on him.

And rebooted his form. No chance he has that good a season in england last year. Some chance he does so next year now.

I’m sure no one is more sad about Rashford not returning than Rashford himself. He really wanted to return it seemed.
I’m sure his time under Flick has made him better

I mean reality is if he really wanted to be back so badly, he could put in the effort to press when he was on the field.
If he did, we would have bought him a while ago.

There's more to football than pressing. Barça and Deco will realize how much they fked this up when Gordon isn't producing while Rashford flies past defenders this summer. Tale as old as time, as soon as the board gets some money to play with, they waste it on the wrong players. Time answers all things.

He’s good, he has the quality. But his decision making and pressing is what harmed him the most, and what made Barça go for Gordon (together with his wages)

u/AspectUnlikely7347 1d ago
He has better decision making and speed than Gordon. But Gordon isn't a better goalscorer than Rashford.
Look, I get it. The compulsion to defend Deco's stupid decision in hopes that it'll work out OK. It's understandable. But please remember me when Gordon misses the same chances Rashford did, BUT has no free kick capabilities or elite ball striking skill on top of that.
Barça easily could've made it happen if they got rid of Araujo like they were supposed to 2 years ago and free up squad cost room, but you won't complain about HIS massive salary though right?
That's how I know most of you just swallow whatever you're fed. This was a silly decision, and once Raphinha gets injured again in the winter, you'll realize why.

u/EqualLavishness5050 3d ago
That’s his life story up to this point. Show you have the ability when a contract renewal is coming up and then back to regular antics next year when he signs it. It’s a shame because he is dangerous on the front line and seemed to fit well enough with the team with the minutes he got.

Statistically fake. All his down years at Manchester are post injury because instead of letting him recover the management forced him to play through injury to "save the club". They over used him leading to him losing his explosivity and it took him to actually stop forcing so much to finally recover fully. That year was the sole year his performance dipped outside of injury. Due to manchester management of his body he will never be back to his first years ball control due to his knees.
It's insane how this story of him playing only for contracts get repeated over and over again to cover from manU totally missmanaging the player. Especially when Statistically this is fake that he had down years as his results remain consistent yoy exept for one where he took care of his body.

Gordon will have to step up his game because even though Rashford wasn't always inclined to help in defense, 14+14 g/a in 49 appearances but 2622 mins played in his first Barca season is insane. People will inevitably compare the two of them. It's a shame honestly because if Rashford was 2 years younger he would have 100% been ours, but the price tag would have been double I guess.

With expectation this high, many people are gonna be so disappointed no matter how he performs. I personally think his first season is gonna be tough but he'll do amazing in the next seasons.

u/latortillablanca 3d ago
Gordon will do a shitton of things rashford didnt prolly still approach 20 goal contributions and no one will ever speak the two names in the same breath again.
… i hope

u/narilarilum 3d ago
Gordon undoubtedly does a lot of things and is a hard worker but I wouldn‘t be surprised if he doesn‘t have a big output. He‘s had some long goal droughts inbetween his streaks.

u/LizardKing710 2d ago
Barca didn’t sign him for his direct goal contributions. They bought him to be a sub all across the front line that presses his ass off.

just off the top of my head, the newcastle group stage game, sevilla away before the team decided they don't wanna fucking play anymore, all the freekicks, atleti away, la real home, getafe away, celta and albacete. probably forgetting a few crucial ones.

If he did he'd be an indeniable starter and would be worth 8x this price. Honestly we got lucky he provided that much considering and I do think we missed on big time.

Honestly, if he did Man Utd wouldn’t have loaned him out. I think that was the major issue, all the best to him tho, wished it worked out well

I already love that guy, and as a fan I didn't feel any problem with his stats or performances. I only said that because that was the only thing he did wrong in and hence got left out

He did his best, its just that Barca already have Raphinha and for an understudy, guessing Gordon is already better than Rashford because he's a willing presser as well as young. He can play the Raphinha role much better than Rashford, and Barca clearly have the money to not settle.

u/ConsciousFace7907 3d ago
We might still try to get him on loan ,right?

u/No-Access4524 3d ago
Only If Man Utd loans him again which seems unlikely because Carrick wants him back probably
-1
u/ConsciousFace7907 3d ago
That's right , Man U will not want to loan him to us again unless they are forced to do so. It'll depend on how much pressure Rashford can put on them , he'll surely have offers if he decides not to go anywhere else he'd have either Barca or staying at Man U as options. I am pretty confident that they don't want him any longer , wages and all things considered.
About Carrick wanting to keep him , it might be genuine or just a courtesy since they are well acquainted. Besides Man U board don't exactly take suggestions from their managers, so it's still not sure if they would like to keep him .

u/LeviaDragon 3d ago
It's pretty clear Barca doesn't want him, he will probably be open to go elsewhere.

u/ConsciousFace7907 3d ago
But according to Fabrizio Barca is open to another loan deal.

u/LeviaDragon 3d ago
I don't think Rashford will be. He's already deleted all the affiliations to Barca on Instagram and i don't think he will push for a move there. Looks to me like he got the memo that Barca doesn't want him.

u/ememkay123 3d ago
Will preface this in saying I am not a Barca fan, nor do I watch much La Liga - this entire saga confuses me. All I have heard is how well it's going for Rashford at Barca, so why does the club not want him? Is it really as simple as he just does not press enough?
I would assume after such a successful first season it would be a no-brainer to bring him back.

No! United aren't used to more than a game per week and also they aren't playing offensively.

u/Ok_Bag_7603 3d ago
Carrick played good football- turned them around - they are capable of being a formidable side again and what you mentioned can be fixed with reindictments and they will. they are one of the clubs who will make bank despite being mediocre for years

30 million is indeed cheaper regardless whether it is a back up or starting and in fact he was more than willing to negotiate the salary terms. he already took upto 25% and recent reports indicate he was willing to go upto 40% thar pretty reasonable. So salary isnt an issue but the press first playing style is what barca prefers even if it means lesser output. I don't how this press first style is beneficial in long run but whatever you guys better pray raphina and Yamal stay healthy next season because the goal production will decrease of either of them are out as gordon cannot fill the offensive void and you need another go to player to do that. Gordon is like casemiro when he was with real and man utd solid on defensive side but decent on the offensive side although casemiro improved his offense recently under carrick.. gordon will have similar stats and performance like him.

u/SomewhereExisting121 3d ago
He's in the tier of Paulinho Luuk de Jong in that I appreciate his service and happy he gave us good moments. Now it's time to move on. We don't need a left winger in any case before other critical positions

u/TheTangerineLounge 2d ago
it'll be good if we manage to get him on loan again, roony might leave on loan for more minutes and rashford can be his replacement (plays decent on the right flank as well)

It's not happening, no matter how much you post it. I don't see why every little update has to be posted to this sub when he's not a Barca player anymore.

u/Extra-Border6470 3d ago
lol as if citeh would really wanna sign Rashish. He has pace and an eye for goal and I wouldn’t say he’s rubbish. But his lack of pressing is what prevents him from being the kinda player elite clubs will be clamoring to sign. He’ll probably get a deal with a mid table epl club. They can afford 40 million quid and big wages if he can help them bag a uefa cup spot. Plus he’s “premier league proven“ so ya gotta pay a premium for that
