High Wages

In the summer, Maguire, Eriksen, Lindelof, Heaton and Evan's contracts expire and we save around £30m a year which can be used elsewhere.

Buying out contracts is unworkable in days of PSR / FFP.

If a player is earning £10 a year and has 3 years left to run then that £30m would all go into one year's worth of accounts. So basically never going to happen.

No we are absolutely shafted now for a good few years.

Chelsea’s 7 year contracts have worked out

Badly managed if you ask me, and I mean HIS media management and agent....awful advice.

He should keep his head low, work hard...hard...hard...hard.. and HARDER....and switch of his social media.

They exploited a loophole which is now closed. It can only be spread over a maximum of 5 years now so don't expect anymore 7 year deals to happen.

Fair play to them to actually read the rules and get creative.

High wages can be a problem only if the player is deemed not good enough to deserve his pay.

Rashfords high wages arent a problem for Rashford. He signed a long term contract with MUFC so they have to be paid to him. Unless he is willing to take a paycut elsewhere.

Who you going to blame all the time when he's gone?

Anyone who harms my football club.

He's our PL top scorer. Joint with Bruno on 4.

So that's basically everyone really isn't it? 😂
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When you give the ball away more than 30 times in a single game (Bruno) or refuse systematically to pass the ball to your striker, preferring to take a shot from impossible angles (Rashford) your influence on the team is negative even if you score goals from time to time. Since these two players became essential starters, we have conceded more goals than we scored, which rare in the history of Manchester United. Moreover, show me one single striker who thrived next Rashford, and one single midfielder who thrived next to Bruno.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobody would thrive with any of our forwards pal. Bruno and Rashford have been the best of a bad bunch for a while hence why they are still here and got the contracts they did.

Mount Hojlund Zirkzee and Antony are not better than either of them and never will be. We've bought so terribly that they are genuinely still two of our best players even now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hojlund is a better finisher than Rashford.. He just doesn't get much service. When you're wide forwards are taking more shots on goal than the central striker then there is an obvious issue.

Doesn't really matter how long the contracts are if the players are good enough. Personally I thought Chelsea took a massive risk which could've completely backfired and they could've been stuck with a bunch of duds they couldn't shift because of their wages. It really does depend on the quality of business you do in terms of thd player, and having ppl responsible to make the right call instead of being completely inept, as we are finding out.

Thank you. The fact that most of Hojlund’s goals last season were “unassisted” says it all.

Give Rashy more money because he is good

To be fair, he's been poor for a long time and for a senior and academy player, it's not good enough.

I would also be looking to get rid of Bruno.
