In his unique CaughtOffside column, Stan Collymore has given his response to Barcelona signing Rashford, and the way Guy United have emerged from the negotiations.
“I believe this Rashford deal is deficient for Guy United. For a participant on the top of his profession that they’ve nurtured to perhaps simplest get £25m for him if Barcelona purchase him subsequent summer season, having paid an absolute arm and a leg in wages over time, isn’t recompense in any respect.
“For the participant, it’s slightly fantastic. He had a deficient closing season at Guy United, is going to Aston Villa. Cameo appearances that weren’t in particular nice, however through the way in which that Gary Lineker talks, you’d concept it was once Lionel Messi enjoying for Villa closing season.
“For Barcelona, what do they get? They get a participant at the affordable whose wages shall be nowhere close to the £300k mark in the event that they had been to shop for him completely subsequent summer season. However they get the most productive of the deal, slightly merely, as a result of they’re going to get a participant that’s motivated to play for them. All that was once popping out in the course of the season closing season was once, Marcus Rashford gained’t signal for Aston Villa completely as a result of he’s looking forward to Barcelona.

“I think the greatest story here is how players can effectively be so poor for a couple of seasons, basically, including the loan at Villa, and still dictate where they want to go to a club that’s playing in the Champions League and arguably among the four or five biggest clubs on the planet. And I find that remarkable.
“I think that from a Barcelona perspective, it’s only because they’re still coming out of that negative financial situation that they were in, so that they were doing lots of wheeling and dealing in the last three or four years. But Marcus Rashford, make no bones about it, he’s a very, very, very lucky boy, because if football had any logic, he would probably be getting a move to Blackburn, Norwich or another aspirational championship club – certainly not one of the top four or five clubs in the world.”
