Chapter 0072: Paya Fawei
After two days of verbal battles with the team's hierarchy, Rashford's contract with Manchester United has finally been agreed. The condition is that if Rashford scores three goals in today's game, he will sign a five-year official contract with Manchester United, with a weekly salary of up to £60,000; If that figure is not reached, the weekly salary will be only £50,000.
The reason for this agreement is that as long as he scored three goals in this game, Rashford has already scored 20 goals in official matches for Manchester United. According to the previous agreement reached between Rashford and Manchester United, even if he does not score in the next games, he can still get a contract with a weekly salary of £45,000 in the next official contract.
With Rashford's current form, it is obviously unlikely that he will not score in the next dozen games, so it will fluctuate on this side.
Originally, according to Rashford's meaning, he would have liked to transplant the salary terms in the previous agreement to a new formal contract, but Manchester United naturally could not agree. Marcus Rashford's goalscoring form is intimidating, and if this trend continues, who knows how much his weekly salary will reach?
According to Manchester United, Rashford has scored 17 goals so far, and the new contract is expected to be £35,000 a week under the previous agreement. With two extra goals, a weekly salary of £40,000 could be set. With a certain amount of fluctuation, they could accept a £50,000-a-week salary for Rashford.
Although this salary level is very high, in the first team of Manchester United, it can only be said to be in the middle and lower, and it is reasonable.
Naturally, Rashford and Catherine disagreed, and in the end, after a compromise between the two sides, it was only after the two sides that Rashford's goal when he signed the contract was counted.
Marcus Rashford now scores three goals and will receive a £60,000-a-week salary, which is already a mid-range income for all of United's first-team players, and is the same level as most young players: Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Darmian and others are at this level.
………………
After scoring the goal, even Marcus Rashford had little desire to continue scoring, let alone the rest of United's players.
And West Ham United, after being stabbed three times by Rashford in a row, may have shed the last drop of blood and lost the strength to resist.
Therefore, in the remaining fifteen minutes of the first half, the two sides played very politely and the scene was very harmonious.
United fans were also very happy with the 3-0 lead, so despite the big kicks from the players on the pitch, they didn't boo anything, just kept singing songs they had made up in Marcus Rashford's name.
After a fifteen-minute break at half-time, the second half of the game continued between the two sides.
Perhaps it was a fifteen-minute break that allowed West Ham to regain some of their energy. They took advantage of the kick-off and the lack of concentration of the United backline to launch a surprise attack on the United goal.
Their no.30 Antonio came close to finding a player to follow up in the middle with a dangerous cross from the right. Thankfully, David De Gea was very focused, smashing the ball out before the opponent could take the goal, and did not allow West Ham to pull a point back at the start of the second half.
Subsequently, Manchester United still maintained the advantage on the field, but because the mind was not on the ball at all, Manchester United played without threat, one by one was slow and sticky, everyone got the ball, took a few steps to take a look, and then slowly passed, without causing any pressure on the West Ham United defense and goal.
In this regard, Rashford is simply powerless to complain, and the slow sticky team in his memory has reappeared!
Perhaps, Manchester United's teammate at the moment, Rashford can only be described as lacking the pursuit of glory. Perhaps, it is the sinking of the past three years that has worn out their will.
It's right to think about it, one by one, you can get a high salary of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, no matter whether it's good or bad, and you should be satisfied.
Of course, it can't be said that all Manchester United players are in this form, and there are also some enterprising Manchester United players, such as Herrera and Anthony Martial, who are more aggressive.
However, without the cooperation of other teammates, the three of them could not change the situation on the field.
However, West Ham United became more and more imposing the more they played, forming a counterattack.
In the 58th minute of the game, West Ham United's core Payet sent a long pass of more than 40 meters near the right sideline, breaking through Manchester United's defence. Amenik received the ball at the top of the box, but his stop was a little worse and was caught in the spotlight by Barrera, who cleared the ball off the touchline.
However, this pass showed the Frenchman's long-pass skills.
………………
Payet's pass did not attract the attention of the United players, who were still playing football slowly and in their own style.
However, Payet was not polite to the United.
In the 63rd minute, West Ham won possession of the ball in a scramble with Manchester United in midfield, and then it was passed to the feet of Payet near the centre circle. The Frenchman didn't hesitate to send another long ball over 30 metres into the Manchester United defence.
Fortunately, Manchester United centre-back Smalling has been following Emenik in front of West Ham United, and the Nigerian striker's skills were also a little rougher, and he couldn't stop this long pass, allowing Smalling to clear the ball first.
Emenik, who missed several good chances in a row, was quickly replaced by Bilic, replaced by Senegalese striker Diafra Sako.
It was Bilic's second substitution, and before that, Obiang had already replaced Winston Reed.
Payet made two good passes in a row, which made his confidence stronger and stronger. In the 65th minute, he burst into the box with the ball himself and fell to the ground under Rojo's defense.
Payet's body was still sliding forward under the inertia, and he was already twisting and reaching out his hands to the referee for a penalty.
The rest of the West Ham players also chased the referee Atkins for the penalty, but Atkins ignored it and beckoned Payet to get up.
Slow motion shows that Payet did fake a fall, and Rojo didn't touch him at all.
Although Atkins is known as the four blind whistles in the Premier League, fortunately there is no blindness this time.
But he still showed mercy to his subordinates and did not give Payet a yellow card for the fake fall, otherwise the Frenchman would have been left because he had already carried a yellow card before that.
The home fans were very unhappy with the Frenchman's fake fall and booed him all over the place.
