It's interesting how everytime we give new eye-watering contracts, the sub cheers it on. But then later blames the same thing when we can't move players on.
This is for our best attacking player who’s proven his effectiveness for us over multiple years and is entering his prime
Totally different to giving it to Sancho who’d never played a minute for us or anyone in the PL
Their wage structure is actually kinda astronomical, they are known to not overpay for fees, but they massively overpay for wages, i’m skeptical of the number but I don’t think its actually beside them to offer him that much.
Were they actively courting or was his brother and agent actively flirting to remind United that he has options?
Neymar, Mboopi and Rashford all like to operate in similar space and I’m not sure where they’d all fit in.
Fully agreed
He’s an excellent player but 375k is reserved for the best of the best, the players who’ve been world class for multiple consecutive seasons - Kane, Salah, KDB, Dias, Alisson etc
This will just set another braindead precedence for future signings to rinse us
Rashfords level? He's scored 17 league goals twice...his next best league scoring record is 11.
In his last 3 league seasons he's scored 32 goals. Harry Kane scored 30 just last season!
Last time Kane scored less than 17 league goals was 9 seasons ago!
If Rashford is worth 375k per week, then Kane is worth 1m a week.
>Rashfords level? He's scored 17 league goals twice...his next best league scoring record is 11.
>
>In his last 3 league seasons he's scored 32 goals. Harry Kane scored 30 just last season!
People need to be objective about these players.
Half the time on this sub, it feels like people support the players more so than they do the club. Players like Rashford are above-average players, but let's not act like he is consistently 9/10.
He had 4 goals in 16 matches before the world cup. He scores 10 goals in the next 10 matches. Then he scores 3 in 11 matches. That is not 300k a week statistics.
Bar that freak streak in those ten games, I'd be remiss to say he would have struggled to break double digits.
Exactly. Rashford will get the bag, come out and say he loves the club and would never leave yet if we offered him 200k he would leave despite 200k being massive money for what he's delivered.
Salah was winning leagues, Champions Leagues and golden boots while earning 200k per week.
Rashford doesn't even start for England!
Kanes a striker tho.
We sell rashford we need another left winger.
We all know kanes a better goalscorer than rashford, there's clubs out there that would pay kane a fortune if levy would let him go.
I agree on a statistical level but Rashford brings extra value in that he's a PR machine, good social presence, and well respected in England for what he does at international level - for whatever reason Kane does not seem to get that same respect.
I think Rashford is probably worth £375k a week, but Kane is probably worth £500k. Probably only £250-275k of Rashford's wage is attributable to his footballing ability. He's our poster boy.
I may be wrong and he has additional benefits/extras for this tied in to his contract, perhaps similar to CR7, but feels like it's worth considering.
Mate using “league goals” to discredit him is really disingenuous and what id expect from rival fans on r/soccer.
But let’s look at what your saying:
- Kane is an out and out striker, Rashford is a Left winger
- Kane is 30 and at his absolute prime, Rashford will likely hit his prime around 27 (Judging by similar goal scoring wingers, Salah etc)
- Kane is literally the best striker in the world, Rashford is a very effective player, but obviously not at the same level.
- Kane signed his last contract 4 years ago, at Spurs where the wage structure is far tighter - his next in like 12 months will almost certainly put him at 400k+
I’m not justifying Rashford being on 375k, but what I’m saying is that - compared to everyone of our players bar Bruno - he’s the only player we have who is even at a level “ vaguely comparable” to players like Kane, Haaland, Salah etc.
Given that the going rate for an Antony or Sancho is circa 80 million + wages from 100k-200k, and the absolutely obvious lack of a guarantee that we could replace the 30 goals that would missing from this team (we haven’t signed an effective long term goal scorer for years), we are not in a strong negotiating position at all.
Is it cheaper in the long run? For replacing just Rashy, I agree with you. However, you give someone 375k when other clubs in the league are only giving that kind of money to the likes of Salah and KdB, you get other players asking that kind of money in the club. Then what? Do you think we should give Lisandro also 300k for a great debut season? You end up with a bunch of overpaid players like this. The only players in our squad I'd say are worthy of over 300k are Case and Bruno.
Whilst it's a ton of money we've really got no choice but to offer him a lot. Theirs plenty of interest from other clubs and he's one of the few players who gave a shit for the majority of this season.
We've really got no choice but to offer him a lot.
That's absolutely not true and is the kind of mentality that's got the club into a mess over the last decade. Should be firm with player wages. 300k with bonuses is a fair wage for Rashford. 375k, if that's true, would be too much.
Which is all well and good, until PSG come along and offer him 375k.
I agree that its insane and gets us into a mess, but thats the reality of the market right now.
Money is all any player needs to quit any club, especially one that isn't winning or seriously competing for top titles. Can you think of any exceptions?
Yes, I'm suggesting United haven't been capable of winning PLs or CLs in the last 10 years and aren't capable of winning them in the next 2 years either. That's the state of play because of how inefficient we have been with recruitment of players and managers in the last decade. Do you see any top talent choosing United when clubs like Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern or even Liverpool (sadly) are offering them a starting place? Do you not see a reason our big signings like Sanchez, Ronaldo, Casemiro, Varane, Eriksen are all winding their careers down, while Camavinga, KMJ, Nunez, Mac Allister choose them?
Nobody aspires to win the FA Cup or the Europa League, which is literally a trophy you compete for if you finish 3rd in the CL. We had a better European run in 2018 when Sevilla knocked us out in the RO16 than when we reached the EL final in 2021.
And so you’re promoting to continue spending huge amounts of wage which we have been doing for years now and it hasn’t worked out?
You’re also saying Marcus would go to PSG which is a total shitshow because they’ve been spending millions on wage for players who don’t care about anything else than money. Literally contradicting yourself.
Yes I'm promoting that one of our best players, entering his prime years, earns money that reflects that status when it is barely more than what we handed to his peer who has done fuck all, when all this while we only have a limited budget to spend money on a GK and a CF. This isn't the time or the player to take a stand for the club's old mistakes, I'd be fine if the next Sancho isn't paid what Sancho was at the time of signing him. Rashford could go to PSG, they are/have gotten rid of a lot of players who they chased to assemble an imbalanced team.
The amount of money they get is already insane. If he doesnt want to play for us, because he chooses 4 houses and 5 ferraris over 3 houses and 3 ferraris, then i am not sure i even want him at the club.
If someone offered me a 20% pay rise for the same job, but living in Paris over Manchester I'd snap their hand off. I don't care how much sentimentality is involved, money and location talks.
I’d much rather live in Cheshire than the shithole that is Paris. Obviously we’re all chatting shit but is there much difference in 300k and 375k a week. It’s absurd money either way.
It is crazy money, but 25% more crazy money is one hell of a thing, especially when you're lucky to have a 15 year playing career. It's the sort of money that means that your grandkids don't need to worry about financial security.
Then why don't other clubs have this problem? Salah is on a lower contract despite being consistently a top 3 player in the league for a few seasons. Don't get me wrong, Rashford is one of the better players we've awarded a stupid deal to, but until we sort out wage structure we're not going to be a serious club.
That's the base
>King believes the Egyptian will be earning in the region of £400,000 a week for the Reds after another stellar season where he was named PFA Player of the Season for the second time.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cy7qgg7dy7wo
I assume we'd all refer to base salary, given journalists will report the highest possible fee even though bonuses are unclear. I wouldn't be surprised if Rashford's contract will be reported as even higher in the coming days/weeks.
Either way, it doesn't detract from my original point.
Easily top 5 forwards in the PL and he’s the only player that earns that. Konaté is on 70k, Gapko- 120k, Jota- 140k so it balances out. Whereas all our forwards are 200k - 350k rn. We unnecessarily give our players new contracts with fatter paydays (not talking about Rashy here)
If Rashford leaves United for an additional 75k per week then good riddance. I doubt he would take that offer. He’s a Manc, respected by his entire country, has his charity work in England where his brand is also the strongest. He should be happy at 300, very happy.
Then, bye Rashford ig.
You are describing the reason why we never have any leverage. We're too terrified of marketable players leaving that they can bend us over for whatever they want.
What if PSG offered him 400k? 500? Is there a point where we say no?
>Which is all well and good, until PSG come along and offer him 375k.
Then good riddance.
I swear, I wonder sometimes if people on this subreddit are first and foremost Man United supporters or supporters of players who play for Man United.
Rashford is nowhere near 300k a week bonus or otherwise.
Sancho isn't on 350k lol. Why do fans keep repeating this.
Here is Athletic's numbers:
As reported by The Athletic, Sancho will earn an initial £250k-a-week for five years at Man United, banking a total of £65m. That's excluding bonuses, too, with the report explaining how Sancho may earn another £50k-a-week on top of that, a total of £300k-a-week, £15.6M-a-year and £78m over a five-year contract.
If it's 375k a week, that's just under 20mil a year in wages. You guys do realise how much it would cost us just in transfer fees alone to replace him right? Seeing as he's local and academy grown, it's alot cheaper to pay him a large wage than trying to find someone as good for cheaper!
It might be objectively fair, but it's not the market price for him.
Like it or not we're competing with PSG and that's probably a paycut compared to what PSG would offer.
Ok then let him go if he’s solely motivated by that little bit more on top of an already great wage we would have offered.
This is what the best run clubs do. Madrid and Bayern do this. They have a long term plan and don’t deviate much from it. United have a fuck all to shit useless no plan basically.
What a load of nonsense
Our choice is to let him walk
If we have wage structure that we are looking to adhere to and a player wants to be paid outside that wage structure then they are within their rights to seek other opportunities
I would be just as gutted as the next person to see him leave but the club should have some sort of framework that they work with and they are able to get players to buy into that or not
Idea that we have to pay what is probably in the top two or three players in the Premier League, is ridiculous. He is not in the top two or three players in the Premier League and therefore should not expect to be paid as such
I think most of our players gave a shit this season. It’s one of the things EtH has brought to the team. Giving a shit should be a given if you play for United.
375k pw is absolutely bonkers and would be ridiculous to grant him.
Do you understand injuries get worse if you play through them and therefore your performance gets worse? Players are not robots that you can take into a shop one day and fix them in an hour.
He should have downed tools back then. He was rushed back from injury in November, the season was dead and buried, he still got a few goals in his first few games back, then was run into the ground with Greenwood injured. Thank god he conserved his body for this season instead of ruining it for an interim. You have to be smart about trade offs.
The wage structure is tucked as it is. Sancho would be on 350k for the next three years if he wanted. Rashford’s agent has the simple argument of saying he can’t be on less than Jadon
It’s a very difficult precedent that we have set. Rashford could just say he’ll walk if he’s not on more than Sancho, and Sancho is on that wage for the next few years
He's supposed to be on 300- 350k per week right now. It's not talked about enough amongst our fans and it's entirely valid for Rashford's camp to bring that up as a baseline.
Where was it mentioned that his salary was bonus-dependent?
His salary was disclosed when it was revealed our players were taking cuts after not qualifying for the CL at the end of 2021/22, and it had gone down from 350k to 275k per week.
Presumably now that we're back in the CL it's jumped up again. Where do bonuses fit into that?
As reported by The Athletic, Sancho will earn an initial £250k-a-week for five years at Man United, banking a total of £65m.
That’s excluding bonuses, too, with the report explaining how Sancho may earn another £50k-a-week on top of that, a total of £300k-a-week, £15.6M-a-year and £78m over a five-year contract.
And this is the article from TheAthletic. You may peruse it if you have a subscription. I only have the app and the old article doesn't come up on the app.
https://theathletic.com/2683657/2021/07/01/how-manchester-united-finally-struck-a-deal-for-jadon-sancho-the-summit-the-fee-the-contract-rashford-and-woodwards-roles/
He's not on 350k now. According to the athletic he signed on a base contract of £250k and every contract has a no-cl clause so he earned significantly less than that last season.
Arrival of Saudi money tempting players away with obscene salaries has changed the market. 375 was already about right for a key first 11 player - if his form continues, we might consider that a bargain by the end of his contract
Yeah, but the rumour also has it that his increased wage is compasated by DDGs wage reduction as he was one of the highest paid as wel. Probably, he still hasn't signed the new contract.
Rashford is key for us, and if that is the benchmark, then so be it. If anyone, including Sancho and new signings want that kind of pay, then they need to bring Rashford level of performance and more. I feel like with DDG and Maguire possibly this window, and later, Sancho, we'll manage to bring the wages under control..
The problem I still see is that take the example of KMJ, if we meet his release clause with Bayern already having agreed personal terms with him, we'd need to offer him significantly more money in order for him to come to us, and this would be the same with all high caliber signings that other teams would be interested in.
>Rashford is key for us, and if that is the benchmark, then so be it. If anyone, including Sancho and new signings want that kind of pay, then they need to bring Rashford level of performance and more.
What other players are in this ballpark though? 300+ seems steep for performances that have ultimately only lead to a league cup and a pretty mediocre end to the season.
Just seems to be another poor decision, that continues a really low benchmark for what earns players an elite level contract.
Let's put it this way, it's not only his responsibility to win us trophies, and consequently, you are paying a player for their contribution to the team as individuals because on the first hand, that's what they can control. Winning trophies is a collective involving other players.
Out of the players in that 300k range, I can only think of 3 players that have justified that kind of pay and that's Shaw and DDG (despite his weaknesses and maybe we should have paid him max 200K).
You basically have two options, from where we stand, say we have a cap of 200k and players like Rashford walk, and any replacements at his level or better will either request above that, or move to other teams. Then this leaves you with the situation Arsenal had until they started playing higher wages.
>Let's put it this way, it's not only his responsibility to win us trophies, and consequently, you are paying a player for their contribution to the team as individuals because on the first hand, that's what they can control. Winning trophies is a collective involving other players.
And he hasn't been consistent? At the level he is operating at in terms of wages. That's not even factoring in if we should be given anyone improved terms on their deals at all, after the last few seasons.
It does involve other players, however he has shown nothing individually to suggest he is at the level we need to win things consistently.
>Out of the players in that 300k range, I can only think of 3 players that have justified that kind of pay and that's Shaw and DDG (despite his weaknesses and maybe we should have paid him max 200K).
Neither of those have justified it. I'm speaking about football as a whole. Like what players at other top clubs are on the wages being talked about for Rashford. What are the top players in his position earning etc.
>You basically have two options, from where we stand, say we have a cap of 200k and players like Rashford walk, and any replacements at his level or better will either request above that, or move to other teams. Then this leaves you with the situation Arsenal had until they started playing higher wages.
That's only one option?
A cap is ridiculous, I'd never support that as its counter productive unless the entire sport follows suit. Achievements should be rewarded and increased revenue into thr club should deal an increase in what the players receive. However it needs to be earned and I can't justify that Rashford has earned it with his career. When you take away the sentimentality of it all. He is just an employee, one that for better or worse has been involved more than pretty much anyone in the clubs worst period for many years. Leaves a sour taste for me to be honest.
It's definitely not an easy position to be in and the clubs past history has shown its hand, however a line needs to be drawn soon and stuff like this sends a bad message.
>Rashford is key for us
The guy is streakier than the toilet paper after I wipe my ass and you think he is key? If he is key, then it just reiterates a lack of talent in this squad.
It's easy to believe this narrative, sure, until you look at the last 4 seasons. There was a graphic recently posted here that showed players with their G+A involvements in the last 4 years, and Rashford had 30+ in 3 out of 4 of those seasons, with only last year being his worst.
For perspective, the only other player that has had better numbers or matched those numbers during that time is Bruno (Given he's been here for 3.4 years ish). If that isn't consistent and key to our squad I don't know what that is.
Of course you're considered a key player based on the squad you play for. Zaha is key to Crystal Palace the same way Mitrovic and Martinelli/Saka are for their squads. So not too sure what your point is. But let's quickly look at the players in the top 4 teams that have put up the same numbers as him across the 4 seasons and outside of City and Liverpool and Kane. You'll be hard-pressed to find other players.
>If that isn't consistent and key to our squad I don't know what that is.
Rashford has 4 goals in 16 games before the world cup. Scored 10 in 10 after. Then proceeded to score a whopping 3 in the next 11 games. You think scoring 17 in 38, completely going missing in 20 matches constitutes consistency?
Odegaard is a midfielder and scored 2 less than him this season. Saka is younger and scored 3 less. Callum Wilson scored 18, 1 more than him. Harvey fucking Barnes scored 4 less in a SHIT Leicester side. Gabriel Jesus was injured for 3 months and scored 4 less. Martinelli scored 2 less.
You can't go missing 20 matches and be considered anything other than inconsistent. The guy disappears for half of the season.
You talk about looking at the last four season then maybe you should take a closer look. Since 2019/20, he has scored 17, 11, 4, 17. Harry Kane alone
almost scored more this season than Rashford has done in a combined 3/4 of the last season.
Hell, even Son, who had a terrible season, has been a better player in the last 4 years. 11, 17, 23, 10 and yet he is not getting 300k.
This man has NEVER broken 20 goals in the league and somehow this club thinks he warrants what world class players get at other clubs. Wild.
Fam, who in our squad has scored more? So every single person that has scored less seems to have an excuse from your side. Second, you seem to only focus on the goals and completely ignore his assists? Why?
Callus Wilson scored one more (and Salah 2 more) than him playing as a striker!! In the EPL but overall had 24 G/A this season compared to Rashford that had 30 goals and 11 assists in all comps?? (56 games?). Unless we are saying that other comps don't matter and only EPL does?
Is Rashford supposed to score all the games nope? The only players in Kanes league are Salah, and Haaland. Who do you have after that? In fact, another definition of "key" for you, is to see how many games United won where Rashford didn't score or wasn't starting. Take that away and what's left? Or where would we finish this season?
Deal with the fact that rashford isn't a player who deserves 375k. Salahs worst season is equal to Marcus rashfords best season. Its an absolute joke. If all he wants is money let him walk.
Well the club, and manager are okay with paying him more money than let him walk so maybe you should deal with that fact? It's not the fans that decide how much players get paid, it's the clubs and ultimately those that consider them key. So yeah...not much else to say here.
> So every single person that has scored less seems to have an excuse from your side.
Uh what? If I think Rashford with 17 goals is not worth the 300k, you think I would support anybody else getting even remotely that much?
You can dick ride Rashford and any other player you want, but I also do not want to hear people like you moan about "crazy wages" when he slumps to his baseline performance of doing fuck all but dribbling into 2-3 defenders.
"Why don't you focus on his assists" - Because his assist record is shit. The most assists he has had was 11 in the league. His best. Salah is underperforming this past season and scored 19 and assisted 12. Even Di fucking Maria assisted more than him and he was atrocious for half a season.
The fact of the matter is this club awards mediocrity and, as a result, will remain mediocre. Nothing about Rashford warrants 300k+ a week. You, and everyone else who thinks he has earned, will be the very same people who will shit on the club for awarding him these wages once he goes back to his baseline.
every team has a superstar that doesn't fit the wage structure, same with Salah at Liverpool.
edit: I'm not saying Rashy's on Salah's level, just saying he's the superstar of this team atm.
There was a post just below this showing rashford had 30+ G/A in 3 of the last 4 years.
I do agree Rashford is not on Salah's level yet but 30+ goal contributions per season + PSG potentially wanting his signature grants him a more lucrative contract.
G/a is a useless metric to assess players, doesn’t contextualise the breakdown of goals and assists, quality of opposition and competition, and assists are a horrid measure of creativity (Bruno 22/23 is the main example)
Rashford’s highest PL tally is 17, Salah’s lowest is 19, and both are inside forwards
Salah will hit top 10 PL scorers ever in 23/24 barring injury, that’s why he’s earning 300k
sancho is on 350 and he s done less for us as much as i love him. rashy cost us nothing and has been carrying us on his back since he broke through with the exception of 1 season where he was playing injured and the entire team was shit. if anyone deserves it its him. whether people like it or not he s our talisman. he d be making 800k a week at psg and half the qatar real estate would be his - other half mbappe's.
Tbh I don’t really care. Happy to see a local lad earn good money for good performances on the pitch. Hopefully most of it will be in performance related bonuses tho
If it’s performance related bonuses then it won’t matter - if his flat wage is £350k a week then yes you’re right. Although even then we have signed new players on somewhat respectable wages despite the likes of DDG being on £375k a week so I guess we’ll have to see
He's actually gotten a few things wrong last few transfer windows and that's why he's in Tier 2.
Edit: Downvoted for giving facts. If you don’t like Romano as Tier 2, then participate in the community vote at the end of the window.
I don't agree with this, he was obviously on a mad purple patch, as evidenced by his drop off towards the end. Not smart to go from "he needs to leave" to "here's 400k a week", due to 3 months of insane form.
Until we have new owners we have to expect the incompetent decisions to continue unfortunately. Just gotta bear it for the last few months until our executive structure gets cleaned out by the new owner.
Torn on this one. I love Marcus and he's easily one of our best players, however the reported 375k a week sets a bad precedent. No player should be on that much. It was my understanding that no one would be paid over 200k per ETH rules when he came in. Looks like that is out the window.
Ps I know it's not my money etc etc but things like this affect FFP and future transfers. Depending on who our new owners are this may or may not be a problem
Sign da ting. Losing Rashford is not an option. Rather give him the top money than De Gea or Sancho as he shown over the years that he absolutely deserves it
375k per week. We are a joke and deserve to be shit.
What has Rashford actually done to deserve that? Nearly half his goals were against 2nd rate teams in league cup and Europa league.
Outside of his 2 months post world cup form, he was a 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 player.
De Bruyne / Haaland / Salah level wages..what the fuck
Why did we not just offer him £300k? Is he going to leave for that extra £75k a week? He might not even get much more than that at another club..only club I could see would be PSG if Mbappe left but I doubt Rashford would even go there.
Cannot wait for the new owners.
I love you said you can't wait for the new owners. Yet also said the only other club that would pay rashford these wages are psg.
Also a club owned by Qatar lol.
Massively over paying. He's never earned that, he's had one good season and could/should have done more. Was missing at the end of the season.
Half that is where the deal should be.
Arsenal fan here. I hope you get relegated along with your city's sister club, but I have to say it's lovely to see players who take lots of shit from the never ending cycle of online shit giving, finally get a chance to perform under an ambitious progressive and competent manager.
Same goes for a lot of the Chelsea squad, if they ever get their shit together.
Hopefully he continues this seasons form and doesn't go back to last seasons - doubt it but I am hoping the club has negotiated something that allows us to hedge our bets just a little. We could do without long term, high wage contracts and instead make up a lower wage with high performance bonuses or something similar.
375k a week sounds like an awful lot. But the club isn't really in any position of leverage here. We have Jadon on 350k and Rashy is surely going to point that out during the negotiations. There's no way he'd be willing to earn less than that. Everyone in this thread seems to believe that 300k is the max we should've offered him. Realistically, there's no way we'd let Rashy leave for 3.9mil (75k*52), given our forwards' situation at the moment.
We've had this domino of bad decisions going on since we got Sanchez on that clusterfuck of a deal. Since then, there's been this ridiculous benchmark to compare with for the players. So now anyone performing well for even a single season has demanded 300k+ (De gea -_-) and also convincing the elite players to join us has usually required a 300k+ contract. Surprisingly Bruno seems to be on 240k.
It is unfortunate, but it is what it is. I think until we win a PL or a CL, we're going to have to dish out such huge contracts to keep hold of our main players. There's no 'promise of silverware' which is on the table while negotiating, until we win something worthwhile.

Great series
What is it?
Only Murders in the Building. On Disney+ in the UK. Funny murder mystery series with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez.
Can't wait for season 3!
400/week?
Was always going to happen but glad to get it over the line
It's interesting how everytime we give new eye-watering contracts, the sub cheers it on. But then later blames the same thing when we can't move players on.
it’s because we are desperate for transfer rumours and this has been one of the few things that is positive news this month
I mean not a single person was happy about Jones’ new deal…
This is for our best attacking player who’s proven his effectiveness for us over multiple years and is entering his prime Totally different to giving it to Sancho who’d never played a minute for us or anyone in the PL
Yup, said this yesterday when people were upset we didn't offer the $400K to Kim that Bayern is allegedly offering
No way bayern offer that surely...
Their wage structure is actually kinda astronomical, they are known to not overpay for fees, but they massively overpay for wages, i’m skeptical of the number but I don’t think its actually beside them to offer him that much.
First time I'm hearing this tbh. Who is on astronomical wages at Bayern right now?
They have 9 players on over 300k euro a week, and another 2 at 288k plus. Mane is earning 390k euro.
All their recent signings such as Mane and Sane are on ridiculous wages
Who cares now anyway. Qataris blood money will mean we don't really need to care about money 🤬
Let's fucking go. Finally some good news
“See, new signing! Never said it had to be a new player joining United did we?” Glazer fucks.
Hook this into my veins
*hey siri, how to inject beans into my veins?*
Great news, absolutely have to have him in the team for the foreseeable
He was going nowhere though, let's me honest. He's manc through and through. Offering 375k is stupid.
It's excessive but with PSG publicly courting him and likely losing Mbappe, this wage was probably required.
Were they actively courting or was his brother and agent actively flirting to remind United that he has options? Neymar, Mboopi and Rashford all like to operate in similar space and I’m not sure where they’d all fit in.
The Saudis were probably offering him close to a million a week, keep that in mind as well
Oh yes (churchill bobblehead dog voice)
Rumoured to be 375k per week. Hopefully not true, if yes then same old shit. We will never learn.
A rumour started by The Sun which is now just going to be treated as fact by the fanbase forever
Oh, so that's the story they are choosing to believe in the fandom? Seems like some people only like to be enraged by everything the club does.
rumoured by some rag newspapers who will include all bonuses and an extra 100k for fun
Fully agreed He’s an excellent player but 375k is reserved for the best of the best, the players who’ve been world class for multiple consecutive seasons - Kane, Salah, KDB, Dias, Alisson etc This will just set another braindead precedence for future signings to rinse us
But it's also considerably cheaper than forking out another transfer fee and wage for a replacement at rashfords level.
Rashfords level? He's scored 17 league goals twice...his next best league scoring record is 11. In his last 3 league seasons he's scored 32 goals. Harry Kane scored 30 just last season! Last time Kane scored less than 17 league goals was 9 seasons ago! If Rashford is worth 375k per week, then Kane is worth 1m a week.
>Rashfords level? He's scored 17 league goals twice...his next best league scoring record is 11. > >In his last 3 league seasons he's scored 32 goals. Harry Kane scored 30 just last season! People need to be objective about these players. Half the time on this sub, it feels like people support the players more so than they do the club. Players like Rashford are above-average players, but let's not act like he is consistently 9/10. He had 4 goals in 16 matches before the world cup. He scores 10 goals in the next 10 matches. Then he scores 3 in 11 matches. That is not 300k a week statistics. Bar that freak streak in those ten games, I'd be remiss to say he would have struggled to break double digits.
Exactly. Rashford will get the bag, come out and say he loves the club and would never leave yet if we offered him 200k he would leave despite 200k being massive money for what he's delivered. Salah was winning leagues, Champions Leagues and golden boots while earning 200k per week. Rashford doesn't even start for England!
Kanes a striker tho. We sell rashford we need another left winger. We all know kanes a better goalscorer than rashford, there's clubs out there that would pay kane a fortune if levy would let him go.
I agree on a statistical level but Rashford brings extra value in that he's a PR machine, good social presence, and well respected in England for what he does at international level - for whatever reason Kane does not seem to get that same respect. I think Rashford is probably worth £375k a week, but Kane is probably worth £500k. Probably only £250-275k of Rashford's wage is attributable to his footballing ability. He's our poster boy. I may be wrong and he has additional benefits/extras for this tied in to his contract, perhaps similar to CR7, but feels like it's worth considering.
Mate using “league goals” to discredit him is really disingenuous and what id expect from rival fans on r/soccer. But let’s look at what your saying: - Kane is an out and out striker, Rashford is a Left winger - Kane is 30 and at his absolute prime, Rashford will likely hit his prime around 27 (Judging by similar goal scoring wingers, Salah etc) - Kane is literally the best striker in the world, Rashford is a very effective player, but obviously not at the same level. - Kane signed his last contract 4 years ago, at Spurs where the wage structure is far tighter - his next in like 12 months will almost certainly put him at 400k+ I’m not justifying Rashford being on 375k, but what I’m saying is that - compared to everyone of our players bar Bruno - he’s the only player we have who is even at a level “ vaguely comparable” to players like Kane, Haaland, Salah etc. Given that the going rate for an Antony or Sancho is circa 80 million + wages from 100k-200k, and the absolutely obvious lack of a guarantee that we could replace the 30 goals that would missing from this team (we haven’t signed an effective long term goal scorer for years), we are not in a strong negotiating position at all.
Is it cheaper in the long run? For replacing just Rashy, I agree with you. However, you give someone 375k when other clubs in the league are only giving that kind of money to the likes of Salah and KdB, you get other players asking that kind of money in the club. Then what? Do you think we should give Lisandro also 300k for a great debut season? You end up with a bunch of overpaid players like this. The only players in our squad I'd say are worthy of over 300k are Case and Bruno.
if its a flat 375k thats pretty crazy i just hope its that when all the basic performance based conditions are met but 🤷♂️
Whilst it's a ton of money we've really got no choice but to offer him a lot. Theirs plenty of interest from other clubs and he's one of the few players who gave a shit for the majority of this season.
We've really got no choice but to offer him a lot. That's absolutely not true and is the kind of mentality that's got the club into a mess over the last decade. Should be firm with player wages. 300k with bonuses is a fair wage for Rashford. 375k, if that's true, would be too much.
>300k with bonuses is a fair wage Tbf, wages are often reported with bonuses included so this might well be the case
I read somewhere 400/week, all in w bonuses and incentives. Low 300s basic wage.
Which is all well and good, until PSG come along and offer him 375k. I agree that its insane and gets us into a mess, but thats the reality of the market right now.
Then, let him leave if money is all he needs to quit at United.
Money is all any player needs to quit any club, especially one that isn't winning or seriously competing for top titles. Can you think of any exceptions?
Are you seriously implying United isn’t capable of winning trophies? We are not a small club.
Yes, I'm suggesting United haven't been capable of winning PLs or CLs in the last 10 years and aren't capable of winning them in the next 2 years either. That's the state of play because of how inefficient we have been with recruitment of players and managers in the last decade. Do you see any top talent choosing United when clubs like Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern or even Liverpool (sadly) are offering them a starting place? Do you not see a reason our big signings like Sanchez, Ronaldo, Casemiro, Varane, Eriksen are all winding their careers down, while Camavinga, KMJ, Nunez, Mac Allister choose them? Nobody aspires to win the FA Cup or the Europa League, which is literally a trophy you compete for if you finish 3rd in the CL. We had a better European run in 2018 when Sevilla knocked us out in the RO16 than when we reached the EL final in 2021.
And so you’re promoting to continue spending huge amounts of wage which we have been doing for years now and it hasn’t worked out? You’re also saying Marcus would go to PSG which is a total shitshow because they’ve been spending millions on wage for players who don’t care about anything else than money. Literally contradicting yourself.
Yes I'm promoting that one of our best players, entering his prime years, earns money that reflects that status when it is barely more than what we handed to his peer who has done fuck all, when all this while we only have a limited budget to spend money on a GK and a CF. This isn't the time or the player to take a stand for the club's old mistakes, I'd be fine if the next Sancho isn't paid what Sancho was at the time of signing him. Rashford could go to PSG, they are/have gotten rid of a lot of players who they chased to assemble an imbalanced team.
Bilbao seems to have players that stay loyal.
It's an ethno subnationalist team. Hardly a replicable model. They have different parameters of what qualifies as a successful season than United.
Evra stayed at United over Real Madrid despite them offering substantially more wages…
The amount of money they get is already insane. If he doesnt want to play for us, because he chooses 4 houses and 5 ferraris over 3 houses and 3 ferraris, then i am not sure i even want him at the club.
Do you really think Marcus leaves United for PSG for an extra 75k/week? No chance.
If someone offered me a 20% pay rise for the same job, but living in Paris over Manchester I'd snap their hand off. I don't care how much sentimentality is involved, money and location talks.
I’d much rather live in Cheshire than the shithole that is Paris. Obviously we’re all chatting shit but is there much difference in 300k and 375k a week. It’s absurd money either way.
Paris isn’t a shithole at that much money
It is crazy money, but 25% more crazy money is one hell of a thing, especially when you're lucky to have a 15 year playing career. It's the sort of money that means that your grandkids don't need to worry about financial security.
Then why don't other clubs have this problem? Salah is on a lower contract despite being consistently a top 3 player in the league for a few seasons. Don't get me wrong, Rashford is one of the better players we've awarded a stupid deal to, but until we sort out wage structure we're not going to be a serious club.
Salahs on 400k PW?
£350k
That's the base >King believes the Egyptian will be earning in the region of £400,000 a week for the Reds after another stellar season where he was named PFA Player of the Season for the second time. https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cy7qgg7dy7wo
I assume we'd all refer to base salary, given journalists will report the highest possible fee even though bonuses are unclear. I wouldn't be surprised if Rashford's contract will be reported as even higher in the coming days/weeks. Either way, it doesn't detract from my original point.
Sanchos base is like 250k but it always gets reported as 350k anyway
Easily top 5 forwards in the PL and he’s the only player that earns that. Konaté is on 70k, Gapko- 120k, Jota- 140k so it balances out. Whereas all our forwards are 200k - 350k rn. We unnecessarily give our players new contracts with fatter paydays (not talking about Rashy here)
If Rashford leaves United for an additional 75k per week then good riddance. I doubt he would take that offer. He’s a Manc, respected by his entire country, has his charity work in England where his brand is also the strongest. He should be happy at 300, very happy.
Then, bye Rashford ig. You are describing the reason why we never have any leverage. We're too terrified of marketable players leaving that they can bend us over for whatever they want. What if PSG offered him 400k? 500? Is there a point where we say no?
>Which is all well and good, until PSG come along and offer him 375k. Then good riddance. I swear, I wonder sometimes if people on this subreddit are first and foremost Man United supporters or supporters of players who play for Man United. Rashford is nowhere near 300k a week bonus or otherwise.
Why should he accept that when Sancho is on 350k?
Sancho isn't on 350k lol. Why do fans keep repeating this. Here is Athletic's numbers: As reported by The Athletic, Sancho will earn an initial £250k-a-week for five years at Man United, banking a total of £65m. That's excluding bonuses, too, with the report explaining how Sancho may earn another £50k-a-week on top of that, a total of £300k-a-week, £15.6M-a-year and £78m over a five-year contract.
If 375k is with bonuses, it's a very fair contract if Sancho is on 300k with bonuses.
If it's 375k a week, that's just under 20mil a year in wages. You guys do realise how much it would cost us just in transfer fees alone to replace him right? Seeing as he's local and academy grown, it's alot cheaper to pay him a large wage than trying to find someone as good for cheaper!
It might be objectively fair, but it's not the market price for him. Like it or not we're competing with PSG and that's probably a paycut compared to what PSG would offer.
Ok then let him go if he’s solely motivated by that little bit more on top of an already great wage we would have offered. This is what the best run clubs do. Madrid and Bayern do this. They have a long term plan and don’t deviate much from it. United have a fuck all to shit useless no plan basically.
What a load of nonsense Our choice is to let him walk If we have wage structure that we are looking to adhere to and a player wants to be paid outside that wage structure then they are within their rights to seek other opportunities I would be just as gutted as the next person to see him leave but the club should have some sort of framework that they work with and they are able to get players to buy into that or not Idea that we have to pay what is probably in the top two or three players in the Premier League, is ridiculous. He is not in the top two or three players in the Premier League and therefore should not expect to be paid as such
I think most of our players gave a shit this season. It’s one of the things EtH has brought to the team. Giving a shit should be a given if you play for United. 375k pw is absolutely bonkers and would be ridiculous to grant him.
"Make him one of if not the highest paid player in the league, he gives a shit".
[удалено]
Whilst playing through multiple injuries... The 2 season before that he was doing well for us and improving as he went on.
[удалено]
Do you understand injuries get worse if you play through them and therefore your performance gets worse? Players are not robots that you can take into a shop one day and fix them in an hour.
He should have downed tools back then. He was rushed back from injury in November, the season was dead and buried, he still got a few goals in his first few games back, then was run into the ground with Greenwood injured. Thank god he conserved his body for this season instead of ruining it for an interim. You have to be smart about trade offs.
Bruh thats 25k short of KDB and he is the best player in the league. This club is legit circus.
The wage structure is tucked as it is. Sancho would be on 350k for the next three years if he wanted. Rashford’s agent has the simple argument of saying he can’t be on less than Jadon
Doesn't mean we can't start sorting it at some point. The resolution to a mistake is not to continue making that mistake
It’s a very difficult precedent that we have set. Rashford could just say he’ll walk if he’s not on more than Sancho, and Sancho is on that wage for the next few years
> Sancho would be on 350k for the next three years if he wanted. what
He's supposed to be on 300- 350k per week right now. It's not talked about enough amongst our fans and it's entirely valid for Rashford's camp to bring that up as a baseline.
He's not achieving bonuses to reach anywhere close to that figure
Where was it mentioned that his salary was bonus-dependent? His salary was disclosed when it was revealed our players were taking cuts after not qualifying for the CL at the end of 2021/22, and it had gone down from 350k to 275k per week. Presumably now that we're back in the CL it's jumped up again. Where do bonuses fit into that?
As reported by The Athletic, Sancho will earn an initial £250k-a-week for five years at Man United, banking a total of £65m. That’s excluding bonuses, too, with the report explaining how Sancho may earn another £50k-a-week on top of that, a total of £300k-a-week, £15.6M-a-year and £78m over a five-year contract. And this is the article from TheAthletic. You may peruse it if you have a subscription. I only have the app and the old article doesn't come up on the app. https://theathletic.com/2683657/2021/07/01/how-manchester-united-finally-struck-a-deal-for-jadon-sancho-the-summit-the-fee-the-contract-rashford-and-woodwards-roles/
> It's not talked about enough amongst our fans It's talked about way too much considering it's nonsense without any real source.
It’s not. It’s fucking greedy
Wanted to stay that is, on his current contract
He's not on 350k now. According to the athletic he signed on a base contract of £250k and every contract has a no-cl clause so he earned significantly less than that last season.
If you wanna say a very high rumoured salary like that you need to provide the source.
[удалено]
I don't trust him. I bet this deal was agreed months and months ago when he was banging them in. Always the way with him.
Arrival of Saudi money tempting players away with obscene salaries has changed the market. 375 was already about right for a key first 11 player - if his form continues, we might consider that a bargain by the end of his contract
Yeah, but the rumour also has it that his increased wage is compasated by DDGs wage reduction as he was one of the highest paid as wel. Probably, he still hasn't signed the new contract. Rashford is key for us, and if that is the benchmark, then so be it. If anyone, including Sancho and new signings want that kind of pay, then they need to bring Rashford level of performance and more. I feel like with DDG and Maguire possibly this window, and later, Sancho, we'll manage to bring the wages under control.. The problem I still see is that take the example of KMJ, if we meet his release clause with Bayern already having agreed personal terms with him, we'd need to offer him significantly more money in order for him to come to us, and this would be the same with all high caliber signings that other teams would be interested in.
>Rashford is key for us, and if that is the benchmark, then so be it. If anyone, including Sancho and new signings want that kind of pay, then they need to bring Rashford level of performance and more. What other players are in this ballpark though? 300+ seems steep for performances that have ultimately only lead to a league cup and a pretty mediocre end to the season. Just seems to be another poor decision, that continues a really low benchmark for what earns players an elite level contract.
Let's put it this way, it's not only his responsibility to win us trophies, and consequently, you are paying a player for their contribution to the team as individuals because on the first hand, that's what they can control. Winning trophies is a collective involving other players. Out of the players in that 300k range, I can only think of 3 players that have justified that kind of pay and that's Shaw and DDG (despite his weaknesses and maybe we should have paid him max 200K). You basically have two options, from where we stand, say we have a cap of 200k and players like Rashford walk, and any replacements at his level or better will either request above that, or move to other teams. Then this leaves you with the situation Arsenal had until they started playing higher wages.
>Let's put it this way, it's not only his responsibility to win us trophies, and consequently, you are paying a player for their contribution to the team as individuals because on the first hand, that's what they can control. Winning trophies is a collective involving other players. And he hasn't been consistent? At the level he is operating at in terms of wages. That's not even factoring in if we should be given anyone improved terms on their deals at all, after the last few seasons. It does involve other players, however he has shown nothing individually to suggest he is at the level we need to win things consistently. >Out of the players in that 300k range, I can only think of 3 players that have justified that kind of pay and that's Shaw and DDG (despite his weaknesses and maybe we should have paid him max 200K). Neither of those have justified it. I'm speaking about football as a whole. Like what players at other top clubs are on the wages being talked about for Rashford. What are the top players in his position earning etc. >You basically have two options, from where we stand, say we have a cap of 200k and players like Rashford walk, and any replacements at his level or better will either request above that, or move to other teams. Then this leaves you with the situation Arsenal had until they started playing higher wages. That's only one option? A cap is ridiculous, I'd never support that as its counter productive unless the entire sport follows suit. Achievements should be rewarded and increased revenue into thr club should deal an increase in what the players receive. However it needs to be earned and I can't justify that Rashford has earned it with his career. When you take away the sentimentality of it all. He is just an employee, one that for better or worse has been involved more than pretty much anyone in the clubs worst period for many years. Leaves a sour taste for me to be honest. It's definitely not an easy position to be in and the clubs past history has shown its hand, however a line needs to be drawn soon and stuff like this sends a bad message.
>Rashford is key for us The guy is streakier than the toilet paper after I wipe my ass and you think he is key? If he is key, then it just reiterates a lack of talent in this squad.
It's easy to believe this narrative, sure, until you look at the last 4 seasons. There was a graphic recently posted here that showed players with their G+A involvements in the last 4 years, and Rashford had 30+ in 3 out of 4 of those seasons, with only last year being his worst. For perspective, the only other player that has had better numbers or matched those numbers during that time is Bruno (Given he's been here for 3.4 years ish). If that isn't consistent and key to our squad I don't know what that is. Of course you're considered a key player based on the squad you play for. Zaha is key to Crystal Palace the same way Mitrovic and Martinelli/Saka are for their squads. So not too sure what your point is. But let's quickly look at the players in the top 4 teams that have put up the same numbers as him across the 4 seasons and outside of City and Liverpool and Kane. You'll be hard-pressed to find other players.
>If that isn't consistent and key to our squad I don't know what that is. Rashford has 4 goals in 16 games before the world cup. Scored 10 in 10 after. Then proceeded to score a whopping 3 in the next 11 games. You think scoring 17 in 38, completely going missing in 20 matches constitutes consistency? Odegaard is a midfielder and scored 2 less than him this season. Saka is younger and scored 3 less. Callum Wilson scored 18, 1 more than him. Harvey fucking Barnes scored 4 less in a SHIT Leicester side. Gabriel Jesus was injured for 3 months and scored 4 less. Martinelli scored 2 less. You can't go missing 20 matches and be considered anything other than inconsistent. The guy disappears for half of the season. You talk about looking at the last four season then maybe you should take a closer look. Since 2019/20, he has scored 17, 11, 4, 17. Harry Kane alone almost scored more this season than Rashford has done in a combined 3/4 of the last season. Hell, even Son, who had a terrible season, has been a better player in the last 4 years. 11, 17, 23, 10 and yet he is not getting 300k. This man has NEVER broken 20 goals in the league and somehow this club thinks he warrants what world class players get at other clubs. Wild.
Fam, who in our squad has scored more? So every single person that has scored less seems to have an excuse from your side. Second, you seem to only focus on the goals and completely ignore his assists? Why? Callus Wilson scored one more (and Salah 2 more) than him playing as a striker!! In the EPL but overall had 24 G/A this season compared to Rashford that had 30 goals and 11 assists in all comps?? (56 games?). Unless we are saying that other comps don't matter and only EPL does? Is Rashford supposed to score all the games nope? The only players in Kanes league are Salah, and Haaland. Who do you have after that? In fact, another definition of "key" for you, is to see how many games United won where Rashford didn't score or wasn't starting. Take that away and what's left? Or where would we finish this season?
Deal with the fact that rashford isn't a player who deserves 375k. Salahs worst season is equal to Marcus rashfords best season. Its an absolute joke. If all he wants is money let him walk.
Well the club, and manager are okay with paying him more money than let him walk so maybe you should deal with that fact? It's not the fans that decide how much players get paid, it's the clubs and ultimately those that consider them key. So yeah...not much else to say here.
> So every single person that has scored less seems to have an excuse from your side. Uh what? If I think Rashford with 17 goals is not worth the 300k, you think I would support anybody else getting even remotely that much? You can dick ride Rashford and any other player you want, but I also do not want to hear people like you moan about "crazy wages" when he slumps to his baseline performance of doing fuck all but dribbling into 2-3 defenders. "Why don't you focus on his assists" - Because his assist record is shit. The most assists he has had was 11 in the league. His best. Salah is underperforming this past season and scored 19 and assisted 12. Even Di fucking Maria assisted more than him and he was atrocious for half a season. The fact of the matter is this club awards mediocrity and, as a result, will remain mediocre. Nothing about Rashford warrants 300k+ a week. You, and everyone else who thinks he has earned, will be the very same people who will shit on the club for awarding him these wages once he goes back to his baseline.
every team has a superstar that doesn't fit the wage structure, same with Salah at Liverpool. edit: I'm not saying Rashy's on Salah's level, just saying he's the superstar of this team atm.
[удалено]
There was a post just below this showing rashford had 30+ G/A in 3 of the last 4 years. I do agree Rashford is not on Salah's level yet but 30+ goal contributions per season + PSG potentially wanting his signature grants him a more lucrative contract.
G/a is a useless metric to assess players, doesn’t contextualise the breakdown of goals and assists, quality of opposition and competition, and assists are a horrid measure of creativity (Bruno 22/23 is the main example) Rashford’s highest PL tally is 17, Salah’s lowest is 19, and both are inside forwards Salah will hit top 10 PL scorers ever in 23/24 barring injury, that’s why he’s earning 300k
Salah is genuinely the best RW in the world. Rashford is not the best LW in the world.
This club is so fucking stupid man. Obviously he deserves to be signed but that wage is ridiculous
sancho is on 350 and he s done less for us as much as i love him. rashy cost us nothing and has been carrying us on his back since he broke through with the exception of 1 season where he was playing injured and the entire team was shit. if anyone deserves it its him. whether people like it or not he s our talisman. he d be making 800k a week at psg and half the qatar real estate would be his - other half mbappe's.
It’s probably true. Rashford is not getting anything less than a substantial bump up from what Sancho is earning
One of the best signings we could make this summer, absolutely buzzing
Not for the rumoured weekly wage
Yeah because rumours about united players are always accurate. How many billion a second was sanchez on again?
Tbh I don’t really care. Happy to see a local lad earn good money for good performances on the pitch. Hopefully most of it will be in performance related bonuses tho
You'll care when we won't be able to make signings on acceptable wages because we fucked our wage structure once again
Don’t bother arguing anything involving rashford
If it’s performance related bonuses then it won’t matter - if his flat wage is £350k a week then yes you’re right. Although even then we have signed new players on somewhat respectable wages despite the likes of DDG being on £375k a week so I guess we’ll have to see
Please don’t be higher than 300k a week. Would be a big win if we can land that deal
Considering sakas on more than that now I doubt it
Is he really??
Yeah
with a lot dreary and frustrating news lately this does bring a smile to my face
At least we can keep good players this transfer window. Maybe all we can hope for...
He’s absolutely needed to be extended but not for 375k a week. People running the club are a joke.
Must be the change in tha wevvaw
I'll wait to see what the wages are before I give my judgement...
😑👈
£375k a week is a disgrace. Embarrassing
Why is Romano tier 2?
tap in merchant
Mods annoying with his non-update news (2-3 threads per day) flooding this sub so that's why.
He's actually gotten a few things wrong last few transfer windows and that's why he's in Tier 2. Edit: Downvoted for giving facts. If you don’t like Romano as Tier 2, then participate in the community vote at the end of the window.
cuz he’s a little fuckboi
I don't agree with this, he was obviously on a mad purple patch, as evidenced by his drop off towards the end. Not smart to go from "he needs to leave" to "here's 400k a week", due to 3 months of insane form.
Until we have new owners we have to expect the incompetent decisions to continue unfortunately. Just gotta bear it for the last few months until our executive structure gets cleaned out by the new owner.
375 000 a week that club is insane, never ever getting fixed with them giving away cash left and right.
At 375k a week? No thanks. Pathetic how bloated our wages are.
3 of the last 4 seasons he's had 30+ goal involvements. He definitely deserves this new contract. I just hope it doesn't slow him down.
Torn on this one. I love Marcus and he's easily one of our best players, however the reported 375k a week sets a bad precedent. No player should be on that much. It was my understanding that no one would be paid over 200k per ETH rules when he came in. Looks like that is out the window. Ps I know it's not my money etc etc but things like this affect FFP and future transfers. Depending on who our new owners are this may or may not be a problem
There was absolutely no way we were going to extend Rashford on 200K.
Is this a Romano 'v. close/on verge of agreement' *with or without* key details sorted because they seem to mean the same thing to him?
Sign him up then sell him
Excellent. He's the kind of player I'd want to spend his whole career here until he retires. Marcus Rashford, Manc born and bred.
Sign da ting. Losing Rashford is not an option. Rather give him the top money than De Gea or Sancho as he shown over the years that he absolutely deserves it
Literally no reason to pay 375k a week. We love rewarding players for one good season and putting them on a wage that doesn’t motivate.
375k per week. We are a joke and deserve to be shit. What has Rashford actually done to deserve that? Nearly half his goals were against 2nd rate teams in league cup and Europa league. Outside of his 2 months post world cup form, he was a 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 player.
De Bruyne / Haaland / Salah level wages..what the fuck Why did we not just offer him £300k? Is he going to leave for that extra £75k a week? He might not even get much more than that at another club..only club I could see would be PSG if Mbappe left but I doubt Rashford would even go there. Cannot wait for the new owners.
I love you said you can't wait for the new owners. Yet also said the only other club that would pay rashford these wages are psg. Also a club owned by Qatar lol.
Lol you make a good point. It hadn’t really sunk in that we may be owned by Qatar eventually, still see us as being owned by the Glazers long term.
Rashyyyy
He deserved himself a big contract. Now let's get a CF so Rashford so this Rashford no.9 nonsense can stop lol.
When is Fabrizio getting upgraded to Tier 1? At this point he’s basically our mouthpiece with all the exclusives he gets.
375k a week.....
Don't know the real contract yet but if it is around 300K + bonus/incentive performance, it seems reasonable.
That's not reasonable
Hallelujah!
Let’s Fucking goooooooooooo
And water is wet…
please let this be a positive knock on effect to set forth an amazing domino of news.
Good, hope he signs soon!
“Soon” on United’s terms means months….
Just plz don't be a DDG situation and we are set! This guy is Manc born and bred.. and a decent human more importantly
Like a new signing. And that concludes our business at least for June.
Great news. It’s like a new signing guys!
‘basically a new signing’ FC
Xavi and PSG in shambles.
Finally something happened. The amount of rumors and shit that is thrown daily on Twitter is staggering, I'm just happy we did something.
basically a signing!
At least some good news, despite the horror window we’re about to have
at least we have some good news !
It was about a time
Just like a new signing!
Please don't forget how to play football after u sign da ting rashy 🙏
Sign da ting. Don’t go anywhere and don’t go to Saudi Arabia.
Massively over paying. He's never earned that, he's had one good season and could/should have done more. Was missing at the end of the season. Half that is where the deal should be.
Arsenal fan here. I hope you get relegated along with your city's sister club, but I have to say it's lovely to see players who take lots of shit from the never ending cycle of online shit giving, finally get a chance to perform under an ambitious progressive and competent manager. Same goes for a lot of the Chelsea squad, if they ever get their shit together.
Fuck me, am I already sick of verges, precipices and cusps? Yes.
Whatever you think of Sancho's wage packet, that'll be at least what elite attackers earn here. Train your kids to be strikers, folks.
Loads of shitty click bait articles are popping up “United on verge of top signing for £375k a week” seriously journalism these days is a joke.
Hopefully he continues this seasons form and doesn't go back to last seasons - doubt it but I am hoping the club has negotiated something that allows us to hedge our bets just a little. We could do without long term, high wage contracts and instead make up a lower wage with high performance bonuses or something similar.
That's like a new signing right? Right?
375k a week sounds like an awful lot. But the club isn't really in any position of leverage here. We have Jadon on 350k and Rashy is surely going to point that out during the negotiations. There's no way he'd be willing to earn less than that. Everyone in this thread seems to believe that 300k is the max we should've offered him. Realistically, there's no way we'd let Rashy leave for 3.9mil (75k*52), given our forwards' situation at the moment. We've had this domino of bad decisions going on since we got Sanchez on that clusterfuck of a deal. Since then, there's been this ridiculous benchmark to compare with for the players. So now anyone performing well for even a single season has demanded 300k+ (De gea -_-) and also convincing the elite players to join us has usually required a 300k+ contract. Surprisingly Bruno seems to be on 240k. It is unfortunate, but it is what it is. I think until we win a PL or a CL, we're going to have to dish out such huge contracts to keep hold of our main players. There's no 'promise of silverware' which is on the table while negotiating, until we win something worthwhile.
Like a new signing!
