As another day passes with no real news on whether the Glazer family will actually accept a takeover bid for the sale of Man United, the club need to be careful after it was revealed that one of their top talents won’t commit to the club until he knows who will be running it.
Between them, the Glazers, Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe all offer differing perspectives, and at this point in time, there really isn’t a way of knowing how things are going to end up in terms of ownership.
With that in mind, it’s perhaps understandable why players that are coming to the end of their contracts with the club may be hedging their bets.
According to The Sun, England star, Marcus Rashford, will bide his time before committing, as he wants to see if any potential new owner lifts a salary cap put in place by the Glazers.
It’s clear that Rashford is enjoying a rich vein of form this season and Erik ten Hag can’t countenance not having his pace up front in what has become a dynamic and vibrant Red Devils side under the Dutchman.
Whilst one player is never bigger than the club, as ten Hag proved when moving Cristiano Ronaldo aside, to lose Rashford because would be unthinkable.
Fourteen goals in 26 Premier League games this season, per SofaScore, speaks for itself.
Time is clearly of the essence because the club can ill afford going into next season without having tied Rashford down.
If The new management tries to lower the wages of Rashford, then they will be worse than the Glaziers. If all the talk of loyalty by the new bosses isn’t transmitted from words to action then they are not really looking at progress but regress.
At this moment in time, United can ill afford to lose Rashford and on the contrary need to bolster not just their mid-field but also their attack. Players like Harry Kane and Martial both spending more time injured than playing are not the answer. We need young vibrant five-star players both loyal and supporters of this glorious club with a history other clubs can only dream about.
Currently we have 1.1 billion supporters world-wide and we haven’t yet achieved anywhere near our potential. I we do that number will double. Fans want trophies and success. We need Greenwood back and please cut the dribble of what happened between two young teenagers in love because these two will son be parents. Had whatever Mason was accused of been proved and was for real, he would have long been locked up. Give the boy a chance. If God were to judge each and everybody like Mason was judged who almost wanted to lynch him I think none of us have chance of salvation. How many players have committed rape, physical abuse multiple times and we never saw any of them getting all the flack that this teenage boy got? And these guys including Ronaldo by the way were grown-ups!
