I am not surprised that Marcus Rashford accepted a pay cut to move to Barcelona this season, but I am surprised that he will be receiving £80k per week at Barcelona. It is not that Marcus Rashford doesn't care about Manchester United, but the problem is that Ruben Amorim didn't include Marcus Rashford in his plan, so Marcus Rashford has to accept a cut that's as low as £80k per week just to play football where he will be happy and valued.
Honestly this player doesn't feel like sitting off the field of play for a very long time all in the name of a coach doesn't want to use him or include him in his plan, like why? If Rashford doesn't care of playing I feel that pay cut would still be the way it was and Barcelona as broke as they are likes taking advantage of the opportunity at hand (was expecting them to sign the English forward) so they had to take it.
Firstly, I don't see any reason why Rashford shouldn't be in that Amorim's squad or plan and he should have known that even after excluding him they still play like a team that is not stable which they are, a team that can't hold on to a goal lead for long like no confidence and the manager knows how poor he operate's with his boys. All Rashford did at Villa Park is enough to say "hey I need this guy no matter what" but it seems the board are there just to frustrate the new manger and spoil their mind on the other players and Amorim can pleased with the management.
The payment £80m is not the problem but the playing time like I said on my recent post. Rashford is ready for the club (Man UTD) but they don't want him so he can't stay and watch the other players enjoy the game while he sits by the corner. Amorim is a good coach no doubt and he could have excel like he did at Sporting CP even if he couldn't win the EPL title I believe he would have made a statement at least to tell the other clubs that he's here to make a difference but where are the materials to help him achieve that? So like I said he needs like 3 to 5 players in that team that they are chasing away and is not by getting new players, the question is can he control them or make good use of these players? Only time will tell, it can all end up like last season for him and every plan this plan that would be a waste.
