The latest details surrounding Marcus Rashford’s loan move to Manchester United have been released.
The 27-year-old appears unlikely to play under new manager Rúben Amorim and is considering a move away from Old Trafford. So far, his agent and brother Dwayne Maynard has spoken to clubs in Italy, Germany and Spain, with multiple changes still being made around Rashford’s future plans.
This time last year, Manchester United faced a similar déjà vu situation after Jadon Sancho was ousted by former boss Erik ten Hag – so could Ineos have a similar masterplan in place this month?
Marcus Rashford’s loan deal depends on a number of different factors – Ben Jacobs
The situation is a final reminder of how quickly football can evolve. Just a few years ago, Rashford started to be regarded as a serious contender for the Ballon d’Or after scoring 30 goals in 56 games for the Red Devils.
Now his future looks even bleaker, as Ben Jacobs Several changing factors this week make it difficult for his situation to be resolved so hastily.
“Marcus Rashford is obviously a different story,” Jacobs began. “He is frozen now: partly because of Ruben Amorim, but partly also because leaving is realistic and when you have the possibility of acquiring assets – we have to call Rashford that because he is at his peak age , and he still has a lot of time on his contract – Manchester United’s top brass are well aware that Rashford’s departure, whether temporary or, in the long run, permanently, is still very valuable to the football club.
“I think Rashford’s snub was a mixture of Ruben Amorim’s decision and the United hierarchy wanting to make sure that if anyone wanted him, he couldn’t only play a few minutes and then get injured. So that’s also involved” Asset Protection” aspect.
“At the moment, due to wages and United’s view that Rashford’s minimum transfer fee is £40m, it is possible that we can use this as a starting point. Like they did with Sancho on loan to Borussia Dortmund, United may be prepared to simply “You set up a plan that pays him a salary and then makes up the overall deal with some performance-related incentives.”
“With Sancho, Manchester United basically paid his wages when he went to Dortmund, maybe a little more, and then when Dortmund reached the Champions League final, they started to profit from that loan. Dortmund ended up finishing in the Bundesliga A top-four finish, they would earn more, but almost every performance-related aspect was covered during Sancho’s loan spell at Dortmund.
“So it works out well for all parties and I think Manchester United might look at a similar approach, starting with a loan. We’ll wait and see if they pay any wages. It’s possible, like La Liga As Sterling has done at Arsenal, Rashford may make small concessions on wages if he wants to move to a particular club, and it now appears that Europe is the player’s first choice.
exist 442’s point of viewJacobs rightly points out that there is a lot to be learned from Sancho’s situation at Dortmund and how the loan has worked out for both parties.
United have a number of key decision-makers under Ineos’ new football arm and they should be able to come up with another similar deal.
