Hammers’ Ambitious Loan | Decision Made And It’s Good News
Forget the massive wages, the huge entourage and the often – disinterested antics, Marcus Rashford is big news. Whether, or not, he is the answer to West Ham’s shortage of reliable frontmen brought on by Jarrod Bowen’s fractured foot and Niclas Fullkrug’s hamstring failure is another story. Supporters themselves were divided by the thought of a somewhat controversial Manchester-United reject and England International landing at London Stadium
Largely unreported yesterday afternoon was thle dailystar.co.uk‘s article which poured cold water on West Ham’s aspirations to bring Rashford to West Ham – however unlikely that might have sounded once upon a time!
New Direction Achieved With West Ham’s Scrap-Heap Success Story
“ It’s understood United co-owner and INEOS chemicals group chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe is not willing to allow Rashford to go to one of his club’s immediate rivals…. These include the likes of Tottenham, West Ham and Chelsea. With United facing the prospect of having to fund a significant chunk of Rashford’s £350,000-a-week wages, Ratcliffe is not prepared to do this and risk seeing one of his own players damage United’s chances of securing European qualification this season.”
West Ham of course sit three places above Manchester United in the Premier League at present and so must be considered a ‘rival’ for European football: However unlikely that might have seemed a month ago, it appears the hierarchy at Old Trafford are taking no chances that a loaned-out Rashford’s upturn in form could disadvantage the Red Devils.
Good news then. A relief for those of us who see the moody, hugely cosseted star as a disaster waiting to happen and ready to rival the Kalvin Phillips loan dèbacle.
Move On. “Next”!
Rashford would have been hugely divisive in the dressing room, earning more than twice what any West Ham player earns and we’ve had enough dressing-room divisionfor one season.
