If Rashford continues to adopt such attitudes when on the field, he could be find his playing time becoming more and more limited by JM. Lately when coming on as sub noticed this trend that he is becoming a very selfish player. Probably trying to prove to JM that he still has the finishing touch, which unfortunately had been dreadful

Not only Rashford, Pogba also went for goal himself instead of passing to either Martial on the left and Lukaku on his right. Both were opened and in a better scoring position than Pogba.

Anyway 3 pts in the bag. The impetus now is to increase the distance behind us.

As well, who will be dropped for Sanchez in the coming games provided all are in contention for a start. A good problem though
Most likely will be Mata who has been playing well this season so if he feels that he will has a prolong presence on the bench then we might have a danger of losing him when his contract ends.

Herrera is another player under-utilised and has to lauded for being fantastic team player just like Mata, putting team first before self. Patiently waiting for his chance

Let see how JM keeps everyone happy and stay put

Pogba wants a pay rise in line with Sanchez or his agent Raiola wants to push for this. Not sure how much his agent will get if Pogba gets a pay rise.

Pogba wants his wages upped to the same £400,000-a-week level that Sanchez will earn for moving to Old Trafford

Paul Pogba will demand his wages are doubled to match £400,000-a-week recruit Alexis Sanchez.

Manchester United have offered the Chile striker a basic salary of almost £100million over the next four-and-a-half years, and that has raised the bar in the Old Trafford pay stakes.

Now Pogba’s agent Mino Raiola is ready to tell United that his current £200,000-a-week salary is no longer the going rate for a player of his stature.

The 24-year-old will have three years left on the contract he signed in 2016 when he returned to United from Juventus for a then-world record £89m.

United can also take up a further 12-month option, but they are aware of the need to secure Pogba’s future throughout the peak years of his career.

That will mean handing him a new mega deal.

Sanchez was in Manchester last night having a medical. He is expected to seal his protracted arrival from Arsenal in the next 24 hours after Henrikh Mkhitaryan agreed to move to the Emirates as part of the deal.

Raiola, who also represents the Armenia star as well as £75m striker Romelu Lukaku, threatened to scupper the transfer unless United gave his client a hefty pay-off on the last two-and-a-half years of his contract.

Raiola’s role in the deal has given the agent an insight into how much United are willing to pay for elite players.

Pogba is now in that bracket. He agreed to a £167,000-a-week salary when he returned to Manchester – but that was hiked to £200,000-a-week by a clause triggered when United returned to the Champions League by lifting the Europa League.

Now Raiola will be negotiating from a position of strength when he goes back to the Old Trafford table this summer.

The agent managed to convince United to make striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic the club’s highest-ever earner in 2016 when the Swede was handed £367,000-a-week to come to the Premier League.

Seems Raiola is like the super agent to replace Mendes.
Very ambitious and demanding than him.
Lets see how the mega million team can perform.
