According to the exact information brought by the British media Telegraph, Manchester United's top management has instructed the team's manager Ten Hag to officially issue an ultimatum to the team's striker Marcus Rashford. He will be sold in the summer transfer window because his performances at this stage are so poor and the attitude of the players is very loose. In the eyes of Manchester United's hierarchy, the player's development prospects have fallen short of expectations. On top of that, it's important to sell it early in exchange for transfer funds.
Objectively speaking, Rashford's performance in the new season is indeed a bit unimpressive. He made 40 appearances for United in all competitions, but scored just eight goals and provided five assists. The performance in the same period was much lower than last season. The hierarchy had high hopes for him, after all, Marcus Rashford had the best performance of his career last season. The data of 30 goals and 9 assists has made many giant teams start to think about him. I thought the player would improve further this season and lead Manchester United back on track. But I didn't expect the player to fall quickly.
In addition to the drastic reduction in stats, Rashford's movement on the pitch is not aggressive, and his defensive attitude is very loose. There have been several interviews with the players with the hierarchy and manager Ten Hag, but to no avail. The United winger even went to a nightclub party that night after the team's heavy defeat, and even suffered a late training session as a result. Some time ago, he was given a disciplinary punishment by the team's officials, and this is the first time Rashford has encountered a similar situation in three years. And as the situation has intensified, the team has completely lost faith in the England star. They want to sell the player while he can still sell for a price.
According to The Telegraph, Manchester United have set a price tag of £60 million for Marcus Rashford. As long as a team can get this price, then the player can be taken away. Interestingly, Rashford is not short of buyers. Grand Paris has asked Manchester United for a reserve price on several occasions before, and now the two sides have begun to contact after Manchester United officially put it on the shelf. Paris want to sign Marcus Rashford to fill the void left by Mbappe's departure. For Manchester United, that's what they want to see. After all, the price of £60 million is a complete sprinkling of water for Grand Paris.
It's hard to imagine that Marcus Rashford, who showed great talent on his debut, would end up with such an ending. At that time, he was playing as a left winger, and because he broke through on the wing very sharply and had a superb rate of fire, he also reminded many fans of Ferguson's Xiao Xiao Luo. Manchester United's new Ronaldo has also been called by fans for many years. However, such a rising star with high hopes has rapidly fallen this season. Objectively speaking, the player's technical regression or the decline in shooting skills are within the range of fan acceptance, and players can make up for all this through hard work.
However, the change in the attitude of the players is difficult to reverse, and Rashford is in a completely self-defeating phase. If you don't defend in front, discipline starts to deteriorate. Being abandoned by the team in this situation is indeed expected. After Manchester United's match against Coventry City some time ago, a number of Coventry players said that Rashford was no threat on the pitch. It's hard to even believe that this is the quality of a big striker, and the irony is evident. For Manchester United, with the current new owner Sir Ratcliffe starting to focus on discipline, the team will have to undergo a major purge from top to bottom. Several senior players were replaced, and it was only a matter of time before inactive and incompetent players were discarded.
Perhaps only by finding out all the cancers in the club can the team get on the right track. In addition, for the individual player, it is also good to join other teams after being abandoned by Manchester United. If Rashford can be humiliated and brave in the future, maybe teams such as Grand Paris can regain their form. What do you think about this?
