Marcus Rashford - signed on loan

[Brazilian Villain]

More importantly, will it count towards our tally of England internationals if he plays?

I assume so, and we'll add another when Morgan gets his first cap.

Morgan has two caps.

For some reason, I'd thought he'd only been called up so far. Oh well.

[Drummond]

BBC have his listing as Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa, on loan from ManU). Do they usually do that?

[Dave]

I guess so

Kyle Walker (AC Milan, loan from Manchester City)

As much as i was very sceptical to begin with, i have really enjoyed seeing him return to form within a proper team with a top top quality manager coaching him.


Although i do think the return to the England fold is a little premature and more for the tabloids to write about than on actual current form. I am all for anything that makes the Redfilth look stupid.
I mean that left wide berth should really have been for Hudson Adoi who has been brilliant so far this season.

And how the F*ck does Henderson get in above Morgan Gibbs White

Also hard to argue that Rashford deserves it over Gittens, who has been one of the few bright points for Dortmund this season.

"He has had a huge impact lately for Aston Villa. I was delighted to see his effort against the ball, his effort to be the best team-mate possible, his consistent energy in defence with Aston Villa.

"There is no doubt about his talent and quality but to see him be so decisive and so involved physically gave me the impression it was the right moment to call him up and give him the extra push that he stays on that level."

I like this Tuchel guy.

[OCD]

Interested to see what scoring would do for him. Whether it leads to him scoring a glut of goals and whether it takes his performances to another level. We could really do with the post World Cup Rashford, then exercising the opt-in becomes a no-brainer.

[Matt C]

Well deserved. He just needed to play for a big club to get back in the international reckoning.

[Demitri_C]

Shows its the club not the players

Sceptical?!

🚨🟣🔵 Unai Emery has given the green light to Aston Villa board to try advance on Marcus Rashford loan deal.

Expensive and difficult one but Villa have already approached Marcus’ camp, strong interest…

…and negotiations ongoing.

I really would not want that big nosed waster any where near this group of young players. There are so many rumours circulating about the baggage he carries that it could upset everything. Why should anyone help them off load a "trouble" player

If I take my hatred for anything to do with them out of it, if I ignore the rumours I have heard about his lifestyle and usual entourage (from a local guy in Wythenshawe who is  big red fan) away from it. If I remove the horror of his loan deal, that it would "only" be 50% of his current £326k per week, would mean he is our biggest earner. And if I take away the distinct possibility his shit attitude rubs off on some of our younger players. Any of thier players will come with a chip on thier shoulder acting like they are doing us the favour.

Then with SUE there is a chance it might work. I still really hope we don't have to find out

I ll just refer to him as an over paid, over rated, waster that cannot be motivated to play for his boyhood club. Strong rumours about his "friends" and lifestyle makes Duran sound like a page boy.

Really hope we are just another club the media are trying to help The red filth get rid.

Romano says the deal is close on Rashford and we are covering his salary. Nightmare!

I've had worse nightmares.

Lazy, doesn’t track back, disruptive in the dressing room, can’t be bothered with training, doesn’t fit our system, selfish, pushes Ramsey to the bench, very very expensive.

Agree with all that. Was very good for a short time but a waster of the highest order.

Not happy with this move at all.

I'm not sure either that Tuchel would name a player in the England squad just so aforementioned player would get written about in a tabloid newspaper.

There was also the poster who called Asensio and Rashford 'panic buys' and advised that we all wake up.

I think if you'd told even the most optimistic of us that they'd have 11 goal involvements between them by the International break, having combined directly for 4 goals, we'd probably have said you'd been at the happy juice.

Asensio is obviously stealing the headlines (and rightly so), but Rashford has been very impressive in my opinion, and adds a lot to our attacking play, not only with his pace, but his technical ability helps us to break down defences when we're recycling possession around the opposition box.

My only hope is that they both stay fit, and that can somehow perform a financial miracle that allows us to keep them both next season.

[eamonn]

Hope he doesn't get tapped-up by big lads at bigger clubs. Nah...

[martin o`who??]

Then can we panic a bit more please.

[Luffbralion]

Marcus just needed a bit of Emeryfication...and he has even managed to get back in the England squad, ahead of the 63 year old goalkeeping coach at Man Utd.
