Franco Ordine has shared his thoughts on AC Milan’s potential signing of Marcus Rashford from Man Utd, comparing it to the signing of Antonio Cassano back in the day.
Cassano joined Milan in the middle of the 2010-11 season and ended up playing a rather important role, bagging seven assists and four goals. The Rossoneri weren’t exactly lacking attacking quality at the time, but the attacking midfielder certainly added an unrivalled depth.
Although he would replace Noah Okafor numerically, Franco Ordine (via MilanNews) means that Rashford could have a similar effect this season. Above all, you cannot afford to be too picky in the January window, the journalist argues.
“Rashford? I’ll start by saying this: in the January window, you can’t think about what you need, because you can’t choose from a list of 150 players. You only have certain opportunities to seize.
“In 2011, Cassano broke up with Sampdoria and Milan went to get him. Rashford would be the same thing. He is someone who, coming from the Premier League, can be an added value for the goals he’s capable of scoring and above all for his speed. In my opinion, it would be a great signing for Italian football in general,” he stated.
The hefty salary certainly complicates things, as well as the competition, but Man Utd opening up to a dry loan is good news. Milan might want some sort of security for the future, but not including a buy-out option now would save a lot of time.
