'The boss is crazy. 25% off sale!' Ten Hach Can't Coexist, Man Utd serious about Rashford sale

Jul 04, 2024

A 25% discount compared to the regular price, and a whopping 35.2 billion won can be reduced.

Manchester United owner Jim Ratcliffe poured his heart into the sale of Marcus Rashford.

For a smooth sale, it will even take a discount of 25% compared to the originally set transfer fee of £80 million. In terms of the amount, it is 20 million pounds (about 35.2 billion won). It's an amount worth giving up one A-list player.

There's a good reason for that. This is because coach Erik ten Hag, who decided to remain, completely beat Rashford. Since it is impossible to coexist with coach Ten Hach, he is trying to sell it even at the risk of loss with an exceptional discount.

A 25% discount on the flat rate, and a whopping 35.2 billion won in amount can be reduced.

Manchester United owner Jim Ratcliffe has poured his heart into the sale of Marcus Rashford.

For a smooth sale, it will even take a whopping 25% discount from the £80 million transfer fee it originally set. In terms of the amount, it is 20 million pounds (about 35.2 billion won). It's an amount worth giving up one A-list player.

There is good reason for that. This is because coach Erik ten Hag, who decided to remain, completely beat Rashford. Since it is impossible to coexist with coach Ten Hach, he is trying to sell it even at the risk of loss with an exceptional discount.

British media outlet The Sun said on the 4th (Korea time) 'Manchester United is preparing to sell Rashford, whose relationship with coach Ten Hach has completely collapsed. To this end, it intends to offer a significant discount on the £80 million transfer fee it originally wanted, according to the report.

Manchester United made a big decision after the 2023-2024 season. It was decided that Ten Hag, who was initially expected to be replaced, would remain in office. As coach Ten Hach remains on the team, a major reorganization of the team is also inevitable. First of all, it is the work of sending out the players taken by coach Ten Hach and recruiting new players.

The first person to sell is Marcus Rashford. Rashford, once United's brightest striker, lost the eye of Ten Hag last season because of his sharp decline in form and insincere training demeanor. Rashford, a former member of Manchester United's 『Sunggol Youth』, was called Manchester United's hope when he made his Premier League debut in the 2015-2016 season when he was 18 years old. In the 2022-2023 season, he played in a total of 56 games across all competitions, scoring 30 goals (9 assists), serving as the team's ace.

However, it suffered the worst slump in the 2023-2024 season. He lost his concentration and showed ups and downs throughout the season, eventually appearing in 43 official games, but scored only eight goals (5 assists). In short, it was a devastating season. As a result, he was also eliminated from the Euro 2024 England squad.

If it had simply been sluggish, the situation would not have come to this point. However, Rashford has completely lost the trust of Ten Hag with his insincere appearance. Rashford, who had been warned about enjoying a late-night party after the derby match against Manchester City, went to the club for a drink after missing training ahead of the FA Cup fourth-round match against Newport County in late January. With this, Ten Hach's mind turned completely around.

In the end, Rashford was reduced from 'the future of the team' to 'the sale target' at one point. Ratcliffe, the owner of the team, has decided to retain coach Ten Hag, is now fully accepting the coach's intention to manage the team. The sale of Rashford is also taking place at this level.

However, ransom is a stumbling block. Rashford was valued at 80 million pounds (about 140.9 billion won). However, no club wants to buy Rashford, whose skills have plummeted at this price. Having grasped this, Manchester United is also trying to accept an unconventional discount. The Sun predicted 'Manchester United may have to accept up to 60 million pounds for Rashford's sale.
