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.
What are more surprised about is that, Marcus Rashford agreed to be a substitute player at Barcelona for someone who have always been the started for Manchester United. I wonder if it is desperateness or he is just been considerate to move to Barcelona. In the aspect of his receiving £80k per week, I feel the agreement is flexible to changes as time goes on. He wont dare to sit at the amount for a very long time. When the 2 year contract expires and the club value him to be one of the best, his weekly pay will change in the next contract he will sign.
Agbamoni you are right, I really don't know why Ruben Amorim didn't include him on his plan and letting him go, well for me Marcus Rashford made the right and best decision by agreeing to accept a pay cut to move to Barcelona this season, at least he will play football there and just like you said if he perform very well his pay will increase in the next contract they will may, however this is just a loan with a choice for Barcelona to keep him if they wise after the loan contract expire.
Yeah Marcus Rashford agreed to be a substitute player at Barcelona and I don't see anything bad there because with just a little time he can use it to prove himself and when he those that believe me he will be having more longer time playing.
Marcus Rashford was earning £300,000 gross per week under his current Manchester United contract I don't think Barcelona can pay him this amount of money because Barcelona is not that financially stable however let see how things goes, the only time I feel Barcelona will even consider increasing his wage if they decide to keep him is if he perform very well and shock everyone by his performance.
