Real man! Anthony is willing to cut his salary by 30% and leaves Manchester United. Rashford & Sancho insists on his current salary

On June 20, Samuel Luckhurst, chief reporter of the English media Manchester Evening News, wrote an article to update the stay and departures of three Manchester United strikers Rashford, Sancho and Anthony this summer. According to him, Anthony is willing to cut his salary by 30% in exchange for joining other teams, while Rashford and Sancho insist on their existing salary remain unchanged. This also makes it very difficult for United to clean them.

Anthony joined Real Betis on loan last season and handed over 9 goals and 5 assists in 26 games, with remarkable performance. Betis is eager to buy him out forever, but Manchester United is hoping to charge £32.58 million from Anthony's skill to avoid losses, a price that leaves Betis a little bit dissuading. In addition, Anthony's weekly salary of £200,000 is also a major obstacle to his departure.

But it is amazing that Anthony is willing to cut his salary by 30% to leave Manchester United in exchange for the desire to join other teams to continue to display his football talent. This approach is actually in line with Anthony's personality. Although he joined Manchester United with the title of Mr. Billion, his performance was mediocre, but Anthony's fighting spirit and professional attitude on the court were impeccable. Now in order to continue his football dream, he resolutely chose to cut his salary, which made people give him a thumbs up and praise him for being a "real man". Compared with Anthony, Rashford and Sancho two English local players are completely opposite. Sancho joined Chelsea on loan last season, and in 41 games, he scored 5 goals and 9 assists in a season, and he came on as a substitute in the Europa League final. Chelsea originally planned to activate the £2,500 mandatory buyout clause in the contract, allowing Sancho to continue to play at Stamford Bridge. However, they also asked Sancho, who had a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds, to accept a certain salary cut, but was rejected by Sancho. In this case, Chelsea paid £5 million liquidated damages to send Sancho back to Old Trafford.

Rashford was loaned to Aston Villa last season, contributing 4 goals and 5 assists in 17 games. However, Villa did not have the idea of ​​buying out him, and Rashford also hopes to join a team that can play in the Champions League. He is not very interested in high-paying invitations from Saudi Arabia and Turkey. In addition, Rashford does not want to play football in London, and the La Liga giants Barcelona are the team he is eager to join.

However, like Sancho, Rashford had no idea of ​​a salary cut. His weekly salary is as high as £325,000. The key is that Rashford's contract with Manchester United will not expire in the summer of 2028. This situation will make the team pursuing him very limited. After all, teams in the top five European leagues will not think that the Manchester United prince is worthy of this high salary.

If two high-paying players in Sancho and Rashford cannot be cleaned up, Manchester City's transfer work this summer will undoubtedly have a huge impact. However, it is not appropriate to simply accuse Rashford and Sancho, after all, the contract was given by Manchester United willingly. This is also the sequelae of their uncontrollably offering high-paying contracts in the past few years. It takes more patience and time to change this situation.
