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.
I don't know if Marcus Rashford will be a substitute player at Barcelona, but even though it is true Marcus Rashford will be a substitute player at Barcelona, I think it is better for him to play as a substitute player at Barcelona rather than staying at Manchester United without a guarantee of playing a match for Manchester United next season. I know that Marcus Rashford's wage at Barcelona will increase as time goes on, but I was just surprised that Marcus Rashford, who was receiving £300k per week at Manchester United, accepted to receive a wage as low as £80k per week at Barcelona.
