They know that they just scammed Barcelona...🤣🤣🤣🤣
How do you know you scammed someone when you just sold a player to him. What if the player becomes a sensation?

No. His state of mind is not the only issue with Rashford, his footballing ability is questionable. He doesn't read the game well and relies on mostly instincts, which sometimes could be a great quality to have but most of the time it's a liability especially for a player with tunnel vision like Rash. He needs space to operate, deny him that space and he becomes ineffective and neutralised, and with his poor dribbling at close quarters he runs into players and loses the ball easily and when that happens he just stands there, rarely making any attempt to win the ball back, just jogging while his team gets countered. He doesn't like pressing and that's why Barca bought Gordon who's a lower quality player.

Compare that with Cunha who although not being a natural winger, has a far superior footballing ability than Rash. He reads the game well, presses, carries the ball far better than Rash, protects the ball and has a wide range of vision. Cunha raises his head and finds players inside the box unlike Rash who's always faced down, ignores his teammates in a better position and just cuts in and shot. Cunha is more vasatile, he can play in the 10, LW and upfront. Rash can only play in the LW despite starting his Career as a striker.

Manchester United's attack looks far more effective and dynamic with Cunha than with Rash.
I also disagree with you again. Do you know how many times Cunha has ran into traffic trying to dribble. Infact I have never seen him dribble that much. Yes I can't deny his workrate and pressing.
But in terms of impact in final balls and goal contribution, Cunha no reach Rashford biko.
Cunha's best season at goal contribution was in Wolves were he scored about 17 goals or there about with little or no assists.
.
Rashy best season was 30 goals and 13 or so assists.
Even in the just concluded season at Barca, he still had double goals and assist in all competition which Cunha didn't have.
He may have lost focus yes, but once he rediscover himself I tell you, Rashford is unstoppable. Before he left, he was our best player after Bruno.
Like I said earlier, the only thing Cunha have on him is the work rate and pressing.
Cunha is not skillful than him, we saw Rashy at Aston Villa now against PSG. Even at Man United against same PSG.
And let's not Rashy can also play 9

What do you mean overhyped?!!

Who in that wing at United is currently better than he is?!!
Cunha and it's not even debatable. One would think that Barca going for a player like Gordon should have made that abundantly obvious for anyone.

Rash is just a one trick pony. Give him space and he shines, deny him that space he becomes ineffective because he doesn't read the game well and operates solely based on instincts, he doesn't carry the ball well nor protect it well which leads to him losing the ball under minimal pressure. He doesn't press, so when he loses the ball he just stands there or jogs while the team is being counter attacked. Rashford has a tunnel vision, he dribbles with his face down, that's why he only cuts and shoots while ignoring a teammate in a better position, this affected Hojlund so much and made him look worse than he was, it didn't help the Garnacho was of the same archetype as Rashford.

Compare that with Cunha who reads the game well, carries the ball better and with better conviction, ball control and wider vision able to pick out players in better positions, presses well and tries to recover the ball when disposed, he also comes back to help the defence unlike Rash who doesn't like tracking back. How many times this season did we see Cunha covering for Luke Shaw and dribbling from deep in his own half? We rarely saw that from Rashford.

If Rashford was any good, Barca would have signed him immediately, but they went for Gordon and are currently looking to sign Bernando Silva. That says a lot.

Do you know how much they made? Add Isak money and it's, perfect business. You see clubs like Newcastle, dem no send you as player. You are replaceable. Who knew players like Bruno Guimaraes before? Woltemade? Osula?
Bruno was known before the Toons ditto Woltemade. Some people do follow other leagues.

Is Rashford already in the bag? I might be wrong but I think it's a response to the fact that Man U might request Rashford back.

I wonder why they stuck to A. Gordon, who looks frailer over rashford whose form they know well.
Did you just type 'Gordon looks frail'?? undecided

Look at his physical appearance....does he look physically strong like rashford??

He has a slimmer shape and looks injury prone.

Even lamine yamal looks more fitter than him.

Yes, he's a talented forward, but he lacks it physically.

This account is a fake account, I just verified.
With the picture I attached, you couldn't even know that, that was an IG status, will disappear after 24hour, something that was posted like 2days ago, after the transaction was concluded, before Gordon travelled to sign his contract...

Next time be Internet savvy

I strongly disagree with you. No one who watched Cunha can ever say he doesn't dribble or rarely dribbles, that's one of his trademark
Let's check the stats:
Cunha
https://www.fotmob.com/players/863098/matheus-cunha

Rashford
https://www.fotmob.com/en-GB/players/696365/marcus-rashford

Everything I spoke about the two players is revealed more when you checkout their stats. While playing in a tougher league, Cunha has 44 successful dribbles compared to Rashford 's 30, Cunha's dribble percentage is 48.4% while Rash's is 34.9%. Cunha has won 164 duels while Rash has only 67, Cunha won 28 aerial duels and Rash won just 4. Their defensive contributions are a world apart, Cunha has 212 defensive contributions while Rashford has just 27, Cunha has a 39 tackles and Rash who rarely ever Sacrifices for the team has just 8, ball recovery is another aspect where Cunha dwarves Rashford, he has 127 while Rashford has just 44 because he rarely ever tracks back.

If goals are the only thing that makes a forward good in this age of football then why is Barca going for Gordon and not signing Rashford permanently? Besides, the season Cunha got all those goals he matched the record for the most goals scored by a Brazilian in a season which was shared by Firmino.

Rashford scored 28 goals and not 30, and that was during a purple patch period and when he was angling for a new contract. And he got 8 assists. That performance was extraordinary for him and not the norm which is why he's been unable to replicate that record or even come anywhere close to it since then, and that was about 4 years ago.
Cunha didn't have double goals and assists this season because:
1. He played mostly in the PL, united got knocked out of cup competition very early and there were no European competition unlike Barca, so Cunha played less games than Rashford.

2. EPL is a much tougher league compared to La Liga, there are more spaces and more time on the ball and less physical. So attacking players get to shine better than in the EPL... Antony went to Betis and immediately became a star.

If Rashford was our best player after Bruno the club wouldn't have let him go on loan, and if he was that valuable they wouldn't have let him go to another loan at Barca, and united would have been asking for more money instead of the meagre £30m they're demanding. United is not missing Rashford, our football didn't turn worse, it became better after he left. That says a lot about how not so good he is. A player with 14 goals and 14 assists for £30m is a steal, yet Barca are dragging their feet here and instead going for Gordon and potentially Bernardo Silva. It says a lot.

Rash is probably more skillful than Cunha but Cunha is a better footballer than Rashford. Quaresma was more skillful than Beckham, but Beckham was a superior footballer than quaresma. I don't know if you understand where I'm going, having skills is one thing, but if you're not good with the basics then that skill is just nothing.

Rashford might have a few good games like against PSG and so but those are one or two games against teams that allow him space to shine. PSG plays an open football, an attacking player with pace will do well against them, we saw that in their game against Bayern in the semi this season. Olise and Diaz were having fun.

And lol.. Rashford is shít as a 9, Ten Hagg tried him there in his second season and he was just poor at it, he couldn't read the game well, can't create space for himself and has no striker instincts, I mean even Rashford himself said he prefers playing from the wings than as a striker.

Rashford is just overhyped. If he was that good, united wouldn't have let him go on loan twice. If he was any good, Barca would have signed him by now especially since he agreed a 40% cut in wages.

I understand almost all your point, Rashford is good infact very good. I think character and attitude is what's killing him.
Did I hear you say Anthony overshine at Betis, nope. He only did well when he was on loan. But when signed permanently, he was just there.
I still reiterated that Rashy was our best after Bruno, them Board allowing leave was that attitude he started exhibiting. Influencing the likes of Sancho, Lingard and co.
Pls I want you to tell me the truth, when Rashy was with us, apart from Bruno who can you mention that was our next best player? I will wait.
.
Even when Amorim discarded him. He never underperform under him. He scored three goals in three matches for Amorim, it was that same attitude that made Amorim discard him, not performance.
Barcelona not wanting to pay over the odds for him was one his age, two his one year contract remaining with us and three that same attitude. We have heard how he came late to training at times.
.
I can beat my chest any day anytime, Gordons and Cunha doesn't have anything over Rashford. His ego and pride has killed him. And I blame United for overpaying him and some others. We will see the trio at the world cup nah.
Lest I forget, let's leave those defending and tracking back of a thing, if as a coach have a player that give me goals contribution of up to 25-30. I will retain him. That's how Salah helped Liverpool last season win the league.
Was he tracking back or marking.
Let others do that.

If you called Rashford's performance at Man. U the best and you were good with it then I don't know what you understand about football.

Rashford's performance was still below his price tag and couldn't have won us anything.

2 good games and 7 bad games can't be called best.

If he was that good, Barca reps would have been flying to Manchester even before the season came to conclusion.

Rashford is good but not very good, a very good player at £30m is a steal, so many clubs would be fighting to sign him if he was an excellent player. His attitude is not the only issue with him, he's one dimensional.
Antony is doing far better than he did in United, he's a star player for Betis.

Rashford didn't influence Sancho, Sancho already had attitude issues even while at man city, Dortmund complained about his attitude even before we signed him, the guy is just a Arrow. And Rash could'nt have influenced Lingard who's is way older than him, besides, Lingard's issues were strictly his footballing abilities which were very average.

Our next best player at that time were Martinez, Casemiro, even Garnacho was benching Rashford for Pete's sake! Garnacho took over the LW and pushed Rashford to the RW.

Amorim Also complained about his pressing and some parts of his game which was why he shifted Bruno to 10 alongside Garnacho, then tried Rashford as 9 which didn't work out.

Barca not paying for him has nothing to do with his age , he is 28 and in his prime years with a lot of experience. £30m is not paying over the odds for such a player and how can you even say that he's very good and then in the same comment say that £30m is paying over the odds for the same player? It doesn't make sense. He has even agreed a 40% cut in wages still you think paying £30m is over the odds.
Let me do the maths for you. Rashford Will be earning £300k in wages now that United are in the UCL next season if he agrees to a 40% cut in wages to sign for Barca that's £120k per week minus bonuses

So if he signs a 3 years contract with Barca that would be:

120k X 3 years= £6, 257, 160
Now if they amortize his £30m fee based on the contract length Barca will be spending £12m on Rashford.

Now compare that with Gordon who they got for £69m and reported on about 270k-300k wages on a 5 year contract:
300k X 5 years = 15, 642,900.
Amortizing that 5 years contract on £69m = £15m plus. So Barca will be spending roughly £25m on Gordon.

In no way is Rashford's fee over the odds especially when you compare it with what they're going to be paying for Gordon. No way!

Gordon and Cunha are better at the basics, they're also more suited for teams that likes to press unlike Rashford. Gordon is actually Rashford's direct rival both at national team and club ( if he signs for Barca)
You're beating your chest but statistics says otherwise, Barca, united and even Aston villa don't really care how hard anyone beats their chest, they look at the stats and Rash is found lacking.

You're beating your chest but statistics says otherwise, Barca, united and even Aston villa don't really care how hard anyone beats their chest, they look at the stats and Rash is found lacking.
Can we bet Gordon will not start ahead of him in England. And talking about it didn't work under Amorim. Proof me wrong. Amorim first match against Ipswich 1-1, Rashford is the goalscorer. Next match 4-0 against Everton, he scored a brace with Zirkzee. Against Bournemouth we lost which was when he went clubbing and Amorim didn't name him against Man City, from where he made the interview that he thinks he needs to go elsewhere, and United and Amorim subsequently axed him.
So tell me where and how he didn't perform for Amorim if not for the indiscipline. 3 match 3 goals under Amorim and you said the no9 role didn't work out for him.
.
All I see here about most of you United fans is that, you suddenly hate Rashford.Nobody knows he didn't underperform under Amorim, it's that indiscipline that made Amorim axed him. Remove his indiscipline, Rashy is a very good player. Garnacho kor Gordons ni.
We can now see Garnacho at Chelsea now, their fans are cursing us for defrauding them which sweet me just as they did to us with Mason Mount

If you called Rashford's performance at Man. U the best and you were good with it then I don't know what you understand about football.

Rashford's performance was still below his price tag and couldn't have won us anything.

2 good games and 7 bad games can't be called best.

If he was that good, Barca reps would have been flying to Manchester even before the season came to conclusion.
How could it have won us anything, did he have support cast like we have now. We were all depending on his goals to do magic for us. Shey you can see the way our goals was spread this season, it's bcus we didn't depend on anyone. But everything then was on Rashford.
I will still say it again, remove indiscipline, Rashford is better than Amad, Mbeumo and Cunha. Only what they have over him is pressing and returning back

But Gordon is a good buy for Barca, that's the kind of club he should be playing in

How do you know you scammed someone when you just sold a player to him. What if the player becomes a sensation?
