I guess better late than never, you can't fault him for wanting to play for his country though thus delaying this.
Just hope Martial is fully fit and seizes the opportunity that has presented itself, we all know if he is on form and firing on all cylinders we will be fine thus less pressure on Rashford to comeback half fit

Even taking Martial out of the equation, a front three of Sancho, Cavani and Greenwood should be enough to beat the majority of sides.
Glad Rashford is finally getting this sorted. We’d all probably rather he’d done it instead of joining up with England, but at the same time I’ll not knock him for wanting to play at a major tournament.

I am desperate for Greenwood to exclusively play as a 9 |

You can't knock him for wanting to play,however players sometimes need protecting from themselves,especially young players. It's would be clear to everyone that given the kind of person Marcus is,he would always want to play. He should not have been anywhere near it but then given how poorly the management have managed his injury,is it really any surprise that the manager was not going to stop him. |

That trio would have enough but you need to be able to rotate them, particularly Cavani given his age. I suppose Amad and Elanga will do a job? Both have gotten good experience and will naturally have bilked up a bit. It’s the CF position really, Mason will have to play there, which won’t be any harm as hopefully that’s his position full time from next season. |

Also, you've players who can 'do a job' out wide. James, Mata, Pogba, Donny. Martial rotates with Edi. |

Without Rashford I would commit to trying Pogba wide left alongside a three of Donny, Bruno and new DM signing.

Yeah, fair point on the rotation, but I suppose you’d have Martial to bring in. James if needs be against the shitter teams potentially. Pogba’s played on the left. It’s obviously not ideal missing Rasher, but we’ve got players there to get through a couple of months if required. You could argue for the first couple of months we’d be in the same position we were in last season except with Sancho instead of Rashford. |

"It has been claimed that the specialist surgeon who will carry out the procedure is not available until the end of the month, which would add a further delay to the recovery process."
Does anyone else find this line from the Times article odd? I find it hard to believe that a club with our wealth and physio requirements is unable to source a suitable surgeon for another two or three weeks (nearly half his recovery time). The way the journalist writes "It has been claimed" at the start also makes me think that they doubt that is the full story. I've no idea what it could be, but something about that just seems off. It might be as simple as him wanting a decent holiday before surgery, but I don't recall seeing similar operations being delayed for that reason before.

Player wants a break, surgeon himself might be on hols or something and sometimes people just want a specific person to do something due to experience or expertise or results or whatever reason. |

The longer rashford is out for the better long term imo, he's not stopped playing football since he was 18, an extended period out of the team and the pressure off him will do him the world off good.

I find Oles comments strange. What's there to reflect on?, either he needs it or he doesn't. He's not buying a new car. |
