Seems to be a lot in news about Barcelona wanting Anthony Gordon. Weird really, they don't want to pay a good price for Rashford but are willing to pay probably more for Gordon.
If all true and Gordon does end up at Barca, surely that means Rashford will be sent back to United.
Wonder where he will be off next, as I don't see him wanting to be back playing for United.
I just hope they try and get some money for him rather than another loan for him to walk on a free later on.
Shame really, on his day he can be very good.

*Ed's feel free to delete my last post as same as this post from fall guy*
Fallguy, I literally just posted the same thing, what a strange situation Rashford is in. I wonder what he makes of it all. Hope there is another club prepared to sign him. Maybe Villa might look at him?

For £25m ish, he could be a good signing for somebody. Assuming he significantly drops his wage demands.
Problem, though, he clearly wants Barca. If they don't want him, anybody else would be second choice, and there's a chance they end up with a sulky Rashford.
Read quite a few comments from Barca fans today. They don't want Gordon. But mostly agree that Rashford isn't great either.

Cue another loan with them covering his wages. That's exactly the deal they want and we'll be backed into a corner by Rashford and have to accept later in the window. It's heading that way, sadly.

Tim, it's a tough one. No point in him staying there. He started less than half their games without Gordon there, so maybe struggling to get into double figures for league starts next season. But, as I said above, I'm not sure he's that bothered about playing.

I agree, Ken, but just think Barca are being clever about this, knowing Rashford's preference. Just getting his wages off the books would help, but a fee would be even better. Tbh, I'm not sure Rashford is that bothered about anything.
Other than a 3/4 month purple patch before the last World Cup, he's been average in output, world class in ego. That spell got him his current contract, and he seems quite content with that.
