If you’re a top young talent I really don’t get why you’d go to Man Utd. They’re in such a big mess, and have been for long enough now that it’s going to take years to sort them out. You can’t just chuck money at it as they’ve been doing that and just getting worse. It’s just a career black hole at the moment. Sancho is case and point. Sure they pay well, but if you’re young and talented, then other clubs that pay well will come in for you too.
Partly because in that wage bracket there are not many other clubs I guess. If Declan Rice wants that money there won’t be many clubs that can give it. I doubt he goes to them though That said United should be aiming for the bracket below anyway as they are taken for a ride by some pretty average players. In the case of Rice and West Ham I’d like to think there is some kind of understanding that them giving him that could well cause them problems as others want increases and also eating into their budget. I know they have a crooked stadium deal but they can’t surely afford to start moving towards that kind of wage budget
I doubt he would want that sort of money from the top teams, probably a “well if I’m going to stay at West Ham then I’ll want **** loads to compensate for it, if I go to a Liverpool I’ll take less”
I guess. But he might look at Harry Kane and his “golden handcuffs” and think again But I think he has already screwed himself as I’m sure he still has a really long contract with no clause and had no idea West Ham would start quoting absurd valuations for him. So he might think he is already kind of handcuffed
I really don’t think United’s issues are to do with Ronaldo. For more expert footballing opinions, stay tuned.
